Humidifier - Spook 👻 a scary powerful toolbox for Home Assistant.

The humidifier integration is how Home Assistant controls humidifiers and dehumidifiers.

Home Assistant can set a humidifier to a target humidity, but not turn it up a step. Spook adds the step, the same way it does for thermostats and water heaters.

Devices & entities¶

Spook does not provide any new devices or entities for this integration.

Actions¶

Spook adds the following new actions to your Home Assistant instance:

Increase humidity¶

Decrease humidity¶

Turn down a humidifier’s target humidity a step, within the limits it reports.

Action properties
Action	Humidifier: Decrease humidity 👻
Action name	`humidifier.decrease_humidity`
Action targets	Yes, `humidifier` entities
Action response	No response
Spook's influence	Added action
Tools	Try this action

Action data parameters
Attribute	Type	Required	Default / Example
`step`	integer	No	The humidifier’s own step

Example action in YAML

1
2
3
action: humidifier.decrease_humidity
target:
  entity_id: humidifier.bedroom

Both actions work the same way:

The step is the one you give, or the humidifier’s own step, or one percent when it has none, the same as the slider in the Home Assistant interface.
Steps are whole percentages, since Home Assistant hands a humidifier its target as a whole number. A step of its own that is not one, like half a percent, moves a whole percent.
The target stays within the minimum and maximum the humidifier reports. A step that would cross one stops at it.
Adjusting is not switching. A humidifier that is off gets its target moved and stays off.

Known limitations

A humidifier that has not reported a target yet is left alone.
A target already past one of the humidifier’s own limits, which some integrations report, is left where it is rather than pulled back.
