Hi,
I’ve managed to integrate Xiaomi Evaporative Humidifier with Loxone. This is a no-fog, no-mist, no-ultrasound device that costs ~120 EUR and doesn’t need new filter every N months. Has a large 4L water container and is recommended for rooms up to 40m2. This integration is made with ioBroker and MQTT Gateway, both run on LoxBerry.
This is how the device looks like. 22x22cm footprint (same as Xiaomi Air Purifier 3H, just ~1/3 lower):
You may pour water in straight through the grilles on top. Device has a water level sensor and it’s available over API. There are some plates inside that rotate and a fan that pushes humidified air out:
This is how it looks in the Loxone app:
Tracker shows last 40 devices status changes. Water level field has statistics enabled. Average level over 1 hours is enough to see water consumption rate:
Maintenance Counter shows current run time and total run time. I use it to see when I should clean the plates in fresh water (or put them to dishwasher). As I’ve created own automation, I made a switch to disable it in case I wanted to set specific mode permanently. There is also a pause switch that actually powers device off and locks my custom automation. Status field is updated over MQTT so pressing physical button on the device or using Xioami Home app results in instant status change in Loxone app.
