I made some pasta after work yesterday, and you can clearly see the humidity spike in the house when boiling the water. Gotta remember to turn the extraction hood on if I don't want mold!
It starts with a little insight and ends with data hoarding. I have independent temperature, humidity, and air quality sensors in every single room. I’m chasing that data dragon
Add CO2 or pm 2.5, and you'll really see when you cook. Boiling pasta doesn't do much in my place, but my humidity ranges from 65-75%. (I prefer to watch the dewpoint, which is basically glued to 19°C all summer)
The stove top extractors are especially important if you've got a gas cook top, those things are baaaaad for you :(
I'm in the market for air sensors (temp, humidity and quality etc). What are some good options for HA?
Why not wire the hood to an air sensor?
Dont forget the mold indicator
I recommend a dehumidifier! Great to keep humidity down.
