I use the Aeon Multisensor 6 humidity detection in combination with a smart switch as a humidistat. Accordingly when the humidity in the room rises too high a piston triggers a smart relay which then causes the dehumidifier to turn on, and when it drops it turns it off.
This works great but a few times I’ve had a significant issue where the internet connection went down for hours or in one case a couple of days and the humidifier got stuck running the whole time, and in another case the humidity rose too much.
I see now that the Aeon Multisensor 6 has support for local control. Am I correct however that webCore still requires an internet connection. And as such it really doesn’t do me any good to switch the Multisensor to local because I am still dependent on the internet for the piston?
I just looked at the device that controls the dehumidifier is a “Z-Wave Switch” and SmartThings say it runs locally. With the switch being local and the Multiesensor being local, maybe I should rework this then not to require a piston at all…
So what I need to remove the webCore dependency is a way to tell SmartThings that when the Humidity of the Multisensor >= x then turn the Z-Wave Switch ON. And when humidity <= y then turn that switch off. How can I do this without using webCore?
Thank you.
