de-humidifier Bosch dry 2000 driven by Smart Controller II

Dear homies,

here to ask your hint to let me pilot another Bosch product (Bosch Dry 2000) which is not directly supported by the Smart Home Controller II.

Requirement:

I would simply use my new Bosch de-humidifier (Bosch Dry 2000) when humidity in bathroom increases to a certain % value.

Current installed equipment:

-Bosch Smart controller II

-Bosch Dry 2000 as de-humidifier (without wifi connection)

-Separate Heating system by methane boiler NOT connected with any Raumthermostat II

Question:

Is there a generic and simple Matter humidity sensor connectable to Smart Home Controller II ?

Proposed solutions (to be evaluated)

a) Buy one new Matter Bosch compact plug and connect them with Bosch Dry humidifier on Smart Home controller II. And create a routine by monitoring the energy consumption only.

(not the best technical solution)

b) Buy one new Matter Bosch compact plug + generic (non-Bosch) Matter humidity sensor and connect them Smart Home controller II. For creating a simple routine using detected humidity.

(cheaper solution if applicable)

c)Buy one new Matter Bosch compact plug + Bosch Raumthermostat II and connect them Smart Home controller II. For creating a simple routine using detected humidity.

(expensive solution if applicable)

Please let me know your opinion on above proposed scenarios or suggest alternative ones.

Thank you in advance

Regards

Nicola

Hi,

Buy one new Matter Bosch compact plug + generic (non-Bosch) Matter humidity sensor and connect them Smart Home controller II. For creating a simple routine using detected humidity.

(cheaper solution if applicable)

Connecting non-Bosch devices to SHC is not possible. So technically this solution cannot be used.

Buy one new Matter Bosch compact plug and connect them with Bosch Dry humidifier on Smart Home controller II. And create a routine by monitoring the energy consumption only.

(not the best technical solution)

This is probably the best solution as you can cover all your requirements.

Hi,

I am using a dehumifyer from comfee with a smart plug and a humidy sensor from Bosch which is included in the room temperature device 2.

You can create automations to control the plug.

Since the dehumifyer is not smart, i set it on the lowest % which was possible (35%) to avoid that there are differences between the measures (dehumifyer and Bosch).

But be aware, that it is not good for the lifetime of the dehumifyer to get a hardstop by just cutting the powerconnection.

I've been using in priciple the same setup as @CHP in my basement with a Meaco dehumidifier and for around five years. It works perfectly. And due to its integration into the smart home system, it doesn't matter that the humidity sensor on the Meaco unit is broken long time ago.

Besides using humidity to turn it on and off, my automations also take the basement windows and the room door into account. If I'm already ventilating (open window(s)), the dehumidifier doesn't even turn on. Or it turns off immediately when I open a window.

The power consumption measurement also allows me to send a notification when the water tank is full.

Hi CHP,

in regards to your solution, can you please confirm if you can read umidity% by your Raumthermostat II via Smart Home app ?

If yes, is this % value constantly monitored ?

Thanks for your further reply

Yes, this is possible.

You just have to make sure you define a threshold value, which is best done separately via a status. You can also include all percentages from, say, 70 upwards in the condition in an automation, which the automation then evaluates as OR. This takes some time but then you avoid mistakes when you have an IF and an AND option
