Why a “Smart” Humidifier?

The most important thing in choosing a humidifier is “not over-humidifying.” When humidity exceeds 60%, it causes mold and mites, and conversely, when it falls below 40%, virus survival rates increase.

With conventional analog humidifiers, this fine-tuning was difficult. However, with smart humidifiers, you can automatically maintain the “ideal zone at all times.”

Smart Humidifier Usage Techniques

Linking with External Sensors is Key

Since the humidifier’s own sensor is located near the moist air outlet, deviations from the overall room humidity tend to occur. A pro operation is to place a SwitchBot Hub 2 or thermometer in the center of the room and use that value as a trigger to turn the humidifier ON/OFF.

Summary

Health management is also an important role for the smart home. This winter, leave humidity management to AI and enjoy a comfortable life without worrying about colds.
