I didn’t find too much information about integrating dehumidifiers in home assistant.
I bought a Pro Breeze PB-20 (European version I think it only changes the power socket)
I made it work with local tuya using this configuration:

I created a simple card like this and I can manage almost everything. It works flawlessly.
(note, the power consumption is from a BW-SHP13 socket, it’s not provided by the dehumidifier)
For reference (no affiliate link) this is the model in Amazon: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0B2198CY2
I still need to solve how to create an entity to detect when the water deposit is full, but I see a value of 8 on DP_ID 11… so it’s a matter of investigating a little bit more.
