I have a rule for closing shades when taking a shower. If the humidity is still meeting the conditions, the rule runs again. How do I stop the rule until the next actual shower? [shower] idity compare.

There is a community app for humidity and bathroom fans that many use. I did my own crazy rules but it works for me. For each bathroom I have a rule that sets a global variable capturing the humidity when the light is turned on. Then another rule will turn on the fan if the humidity goes X% above th…

I think this is the one @tivomaniac means... [image] Bathroom Humidity Fan 🚧 Developers I converted a humidity controlled fan I used in ST to hubitat. it looks for a change in humidity and turns on the fan. You can set when it turns off to be byhumidity, set time, etc. …

I played with it for a while. I can't recall if it could be used to adjust shades but one could certainly finagle something with a virtual fan and RM.

I tried using the Bathroom humidity fan initially and I found setting up my own rule worked better. I had only one sensor in the summer and it worked fine with a +15 in humidity. Now that it's winter, humidity is not very consistent in my house, so I added a comparison sensor. The humidity stays hig…

If you just don't want it running till the next day how about a 12 hour wait after it turns off? Or one until it's after Sunset+15 minutes.

Since there are two ppl using the shower without set times, 12 hours won't work. I am going to try a delay of 30 minutes and see if that will stop it.

I stuck an Aeotec Multisensor in the shower. It reports humidity as well as motion and it has enough water resistance for it not to be an issue. I use it to control the fan and the light.

You want a "wait" action instead of "delay" as delays do not get auto-cancelled. The first time the rule is triggered, that 15 minute delay will start and will not be reset. If you use a "wait" instead, the wait is auto-cancelled with each re-trigger. Switching over, the shades will close 15 minutes…

I will try the wait command instead of delay and see if that works. Thanks for the suggestion.
