   I got this neat thing now, instead of always showing all 3 HVAC devices.
   I haven't tested it yet, but the tab that shows by default should be set by it being hot or cold outside!

     Yes, there is a stupid bug on the hydrostatic plug the humidifier is plugged in to.
     When it's not running, as in adding humidity, it becomes "unavailable".
     Since I can now make virtual hydrostats, I am probably going to replace it with a smart plug and just use my existing temp and humidity sensor.

     It's a bug in the stupid plug itself! It does that crap on it's "official" app as well. I hate that thing!

     When it cycles on, I can change the settings again!

     Home Assistant on Home Assistant Green (kigrated from a big, old, power hungry desktop computer).

     Home Assistsnt's generic hydrostat does have a dehumidifier mode!
     Get a cheap, analog dehumidifier, plug it in to a smart switch, add a humidity sensor, and via la.

     Nice 👍 what are you using for this? I use home assistant.
     I need to add a humidity sensor and a dehumidifier though

     I remembered that hydrostatic plug exposes it's relay. So I killed off the humidifier, and made a virtual one that turns that relay on and off, using my humidity sensor.
     Maybe now it won't keep going "unavaailable"

     My Zigbee stuff rarely gives me trouble. It's my WiFi crap that gives me headaches.
     Been getting any new stuff signed whenever possible ever since I got SkyConnect a while back

     Good to know!
     Yeah, I was planning on buying a dumb dehumidifier and one of those ZigBee plugs, I already have a bunch around, really useful
