We built a house 7 years ago and it’s insulated and has double glazing. I’ve installed Home Assistant with temp sensors in the bed rooms and seeing 70%+ humidity levels. Temperature is always above 16c

We ventilate it, but still it’s 70% in the bedrooms. WHO recommends 40-60%, so we’re a bit worried.

Living room is around 55% during the day when we have the heat pump set at 21c.

As it’s pretty humid outside I think it’s almost impossible to get it lower, but are there any other tips? I don’t want to run dehumidifiers. Would an HRV like system help?

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll take a look!

    I don’t think I would know where to start with “building circuits”…

      If you want some very specific stuff like height sensors for standing desks (something I still need) you will have to go the self build route. Also to make my dumb alarm smart I have to do some soldering apparently.

      That is my next rabbit hole I guess :)

      Heh it’s great fun and there are tons of guides. It’s just hooking up wires mostly :). I would call it building circuits I guess haha.
