This is a very nice solution. I plan on taking what you have done here and use it for a video where I’m taking a Sonoff SV and building a humidifier control. IE I’m going to flip the ON and OFF command so the device powers when the humidity is low and make new names, but your elegant code will remain.
I’ll credit you and put a link to it here in this post.
Thanks for supporting the more programming-addled among us!

Here is the link to my YouTube video where I use this automation to sucessfully make my Humidistat solution to work!
Could you please share again your automations? Many thanks

It won’t be this way for long. I plan to put an ESP32 in the dehumidifier for direct control and monitoring soon.
Hi i run ESPhome (not tasmota) and i use a relay to switch on and off the humidifier(not dehumidifier). My automation script is not working, can you help me with that? The humidifier needs to turn on when the dht11 sensor reads 45% or lower, and turn off if it reaches more then 52% humidity. For sanity check i need to paste this to the automation.yaml or create a new custom component and a new humidifier.yaml file?
The script:
- id: '*************'
alias: Humidifier on

- platform: time_pattern

entity_id: sensor.humidity

It turns on and off every 5 minutes… i tested it with 10sec intervals because i didn’t have the time to sit and watch it that long. It works between the two values great but outside of the two value things are different.
