Pro Breeze - Timer Function

[doubledutch2]

Hi, I have an interesting challenge. I use a Pro Breeze dehumidifier in a holiday home we own. Works perfectly. I have a few humidity sensors throughout the house, when one of them is above 65% I switch the unit on, when they are all below 55% I switch the unit off. Again - works fine but....

We are in the property about every 6 weeks and it's in a different country. After two years my internet router locked up / wifi stopped working. Luckily it was Summer and the dehumifier wasn't on but if it had been on: there would have been no way to switch it back off.

So my question: Could the timer function be supported in this extension? If it would what I would configure is:

• Switch the dehumidifier on for e.g. 1 hour when > 65%
• When dehumidifier switches off, check the if humidity is > 65% and switch it on for another hour
• Rinse and repeat

This way IF the router would lock up again - the dehumidifier would switch off after an hour and just not switch on again until I fix the router.

If anyone has a better idea - that would be great as well :-) Thank you!

I don't think there is a way to add timer for humidifer which works without router - I don't think internal circuits have that logic. It works via Home Assistant automation, but that won't work if router is down. I have a smart switch that will restart router if it doesn't respond in certain amount of time - but my smart switch is using ESPHome, so you need to find or build one that you can program that.
