HVAC automation using Humidex

Has anyone created an automation which pairs humidity with temperature to create a comfortable HVAC environment?
There’s a formula which reads

Humidex – Air temperature in Celsius + 0.5555 (e – 10)
Where:
e = 6.11 x exp [5417.7530 (1/273.16 – 1/Air temperature in Celsius +273.16)]

Humidex reading seems to gather the inputs of temp and humidity to give a comfort level. Wondering if I can use this to formulate some sort of automation using my HVAC.

Maybe this can help you to achieve, what you are looking for. Using the entities created by this integration could get you there…

Does your HVAC system have a De humidification setting already ?Also what kind of thermostat do you have?

Yes there is a Dry mode on it. My sensor is a fairly basic temp and humidity zigbee sensor.

Do I need more sensors for this to work? Apologies if that is a daft question.

a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor is needed for it to work.

I dowloaded that HAC - I suppose now I have to work out how to create an automation which juggles temperature and humidity - the dry function makes it colder - not sure how to handle that.

then you should have more sensors:

heat_index is what you are looking for :wink:
