Hi
I’m very very new to this so I’m not very clued up yet. I’ve not got any equipment yet, I’m just hoping my idea will work.
So, my problem is, the kids keep leaving the bathroom window closed when they have a bath or shower, I’m wanting to setup a system where an alarm goes off when the humidity goes up and the window is closed. My idea was to use a humidity sensor, a window sensor, a ZB mini which says the bathroom light is on and some kind of buzzer/alarm.
Is this possible to do?
Thanks
Yes, that is possible.

So Ive got everything setup and it appears to be all working correctly but I cant quite get the automation correct because I’m a noob I guess.
Its doing more or less what I want it to do but the siren (Tuya Neo) Is only sounding for about 9 seconds and i have no idea how to change it.
EDIT
Found it
It’s still not working correctly, the window has to be opened the closed for it to trigger. I’ve tried all sorts of combinations but it’s just not working how I would like it to 
This is how someone in the HA Facebook group suggested how to do it

You had two issues there - your switch was being triggered immediately, but the condition checks if it’s been on for 1 minute. Also, your humidity sensor was being triggered above 79 (so 80 would trigger it), but your condition was checking if your humidity is above 80, so it would stop the automation.
Someone in the HA Facebook group needs to learn that using devices for automations is a bad idea. It’s much simpler and more future proof to use entities. Read this for context.
Thank you. I’ll give it a try tomorrow
