Humidity Sensor for Basement

[chevyman142000]

What humidity sensor would people recommend for a basement? I would like it to turn on an outlet which then turns on my dehumidifier based on the the RH. Just wanted to see what people would recommend. Thanks!

If you don't need "frequent" (more than 5 min updates) the Zooz 4-in-1 is a good choice and is relatively inexpensive.

I'm using the Xiaomi ones.
Cheap and seem to work well for me.
You will need a custom Device Handler for it.

EDIT:

[Deprecated] Xiaomi / Aqara ZigBee device drivers (possibly may no longer be maintained)

NOTE: Although many users have had great success using them, Xiaomi / Aqara ZigBee devices are NOT officially supported or guaranteed to work on the Hubitat Elevation platform. I am maintaining a collection Xiaomi device drivers for Hubitat in a GitHub repository, at veeceeoh/xiaomi-hubitat. These device drivers are based on the bspranger/Xioami repository of device handlers for SmartThings, but with significant modifications and improvements for use only on the Hubitat Elevation hub platform. …

Thanks guys! I see right around the same price range is a Centralite device. Anyone have experience with that? I have a few of their outlets and they work great. Tempted to stick with that brand, as long as there is a handler for it.

The centralite sensors are solid, being zigbee even if we don't have a fingerprint for the 3 series they will work with the generic hunidity sensor. Also the NYCE motion sensors have responsive hunidity detection as well.
Ha, seems we never published a zigbee temp humidity driver, we'll sort that out.

Thank you! I'll likely go that route then.

Mike,

you did The driver for Smartthings Humidity sensor works perfectly.

I have a Centralite and Zooz 4-1 in my basement (to drive dehumidifier). Centralite is by far better if you want any consistency in the sensor readings.
