Aeotec Multisensor 6 - Bathroom Humidity

[gordz 0]

Hi All, hope you can help me. 

 

I want to install this in my bathroom, which when humidity changes value to X it turns on the fan, and then when it gets back to Y it turns it off.  seems simple, i hope so.

 

On default, it checks the humidity way to infrequently. I presume the parameter is set to check way to long apart. So i can check it every minute, but surely that will  kill the batteries and is a waste as the shower/bath is only used twice a day  ?

 

Some advise would be really appreciated.

Hi!

You can set parameters 42, 101 and 111 to set the time interval and/or the threshold when the sensor need to report back to the controller.

For me it reports when the humidity change is 4% and every 10 minutes.

@Cafun did u have any issue getting the parameters to stick? my one keeps reverting the temperature parameter and wont report in at all  any tips for me

i have mine on a external power supply (DIN RAIL Power / supply 5V.)I also use this sensor to turn on/off my ventilation in my bathroom. Works like a charm. any interest in the scene let me know

Hi @samuel

I also have mine on an external power supply and use these

Currently it just controls the demist in the bathroom mirrors but I plan on extending to control the fan also

 I have the same situation. Parameter 41 keeps staying at some very big values, like 6424577 and when i'm trying to change it to fx. 5, it's reporting a another different big value...

Yes, parameter 41 keeps staying at some very big values. I was hoping it was only a gui bug, but I'm not sure.

Temperature reporting is working at my place though, but I set parameter 101 and 111 to report temperature (and others) every 5 minutes (but I have USB powered my device).

[amurray85 9]

Yeah I ended up using usb and changed it to report group 1 every few minutes. Haven't had a problem since but that issue with the temperature parameter still exists. Can't change it to its default value.

Im trying to implement the script of @AutoFrank in my HC2...

I do have a multigen6 and want to use its humidity sensor to switch on or off the Air ventilation in my bathroom.

I want to have two rules...

When the movement sensor detects someone getting inside of the bathroom, i want the light (ID 154 ) to go on and the switch for the air ventilation to go on as well (ID 159 )
However, when the humidity sensor (ID 325) detects that the percentage is too high ( my toilet and the shower are in the same room) the switch for the air ventilation should be turned on as well.

I dont know exactly where to start, ive tried to rebuild a script for sending a message to my cellphone when the laundry was ready by messuring its power and compair it with the value taken a minut before... but I m kinda lost how to proceed...
Can anyone help me getting on the right way ?

script using for the laundry :

 

--[[
%% autostart
%% properties
%% globals
--]]
local sourceTrigger = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();

-- Dit is de functie die verderop aangeroepen word.
-- De scene loopt iedere minuut
function tempFunc()
local startSource = fibaro:getSourceTrigger();
if ( ( (math.floor(os.time()/60)-math.floor(1472556360/60))%1 == 0 )) then
    
--Uitlezen laatste verbruik uit de variabele die vorige cyclus is weggeschreven
local LaatstePower = tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("LastWattWasmachine"))
if LaatstePower > 5 and tonumber(fibaro:getValue(203, "power")) < 5 then
fibaro:call(139, "sendDefinedPushNotification", "312"); --anna 312 is bericht 139 telefoon
fibaro:call(206, "sendDefinedPushNotification", "312"); --dj 312 is bericht 206 telefoon
end
    
   
-- Sla de waarde van het laatste stroomverbruik op voor een volgende test
fibaro:setGlobal("LastWattWasmachine", fibaro:getValue(203, "power")) --opslaan laatste stroomverbruik
end
setTimeout(tempFunc, 60*1000)
end

-- Onderstaande regels zorgen dat de scene gestart word.
if (sourceTrigger["type"] == "autostart") then
tempFunc()
end

Hi @SpaceCompany

 

I have a script (vd) that uses the ms6 humidity to turn on a mirror demist that uses a Fibaro twin relay.

It should be easy to adapt it to what you want.

I'm away from the house for a few days but if I can pull it off my NAS I'll send on, otherwise it'll be wednesday before o can send on.

@SpaceCompany

 

Here you go 

You just need to add an if look to check for movement and change the action from my demist to your ventilation
