We’ll be honest with you, smart home accessories are hard to figure out because we’re so use to doing everything the “dumb” way. Need to turn on the humidifier? You walk over to it and press the power button. Is simplifying that process worth a $40-$60 smart plug? In that specific instance, the question might be “no” but how about using HomeKit to automatically turn on the dehumidifier when you leave the house or goto sleep? Or turn it off when you arrive home? Check out our recipes area for smart home automation ideas!
If you’re pairing it with other HomeKit devices, you can setup a schedule so that every time your bathroom light comes in the morning, your water kettle starts so you can have hot water for coffee/tea the moment you’re in the kitchen.
