        Yeah but I want to control it with the average humidity from sensors across my house

          It’s almost like you can just set the dehumidifier to a certain humidity level and fan speed and then never touch the settings again. That’s what I did with my humidifier. It’s as dumb as a box of rocks, but it quits working during the summer when the humidity goes up and then turns back on the rest of the year with zero interaction besides adding more water

            You can, but it only measures the humidity at the (de)humidifier. I want it to account for the state of the whole house.

        I mean, yeah. I wouldn’t have found that project and gone to the effort of using it if a simple dehu was all I needed. I wanted something I could control with my local home assistant install, and you can’t just hard power cycle a dehumidifier, it kills them.

          Ok

          What is “hard power cycle” a dehumidifier? Have you never used a normal dehumidifier before or something?
