Hi all need some help, with a bathroom automation /routine ? - aeotec 6 sensor - qubino 12v dc shutter for the window blinds - fibaro double switch 2 for the lights , sonoff basic for the inline fan uk based i think a simple but some reason i can't seem to achieve , turn on the shower , humidity goes up shuts the blinds turns on the window light and starts the fan . shower off , humidity down , everything goes back aeotec dosent register the humidity change, but seems to do movement ?! have done a "shower" routine , but blinds go down only 48% ?! fan starts, lights go on , this was to bypass the £60 sensor , Alexa will not recognise the routine have to do it from my phone pointless, done a end shower routine , blind stays down fan and light go off , blind works fine via a switch , goes up and down perfectly , also if i open the blind in smartthings classic just the device , opens and closes as it should with no problems although takes 10 + secs to show the the change in device state , but operates instantly , any ideas ? just need the blind to close when showering as i'm stood top half in a window , ideally by humidity or no point in the aeotec (powered by usb ) finding smartthings is getting flakier then a sausage roll at the mo Thanks

Best answer
Have something similar without the blinds. Have that sensor mounted in the ceiling. Think I used a custom Device handler for it so you could increase the polling refresh on the humidity. Have it control a fan and used to do lights but took it off. Did use webcore for the automation but just switched it to automations under the new app and still works fine after a year. Not sure on the blinds tho!

@neal9 , same in the ceiling, did try with the new app , then tried moving some routines from the old to new ( automation I think in the new ) but things wernt always working so went back to the old Away routine only half fires , outside light now on during the day ‍♂️, If I could get the fan to work on the humidity, then may get the blinds to work on the state of the fan

Btw have tried the blinds on the limit switches as it's on now and also tring to calibrate via time - nightmare

Very strange. Would take a look at that custom device handler, I think it was by ‘ClassicGod’ and works fine with lots of options to configure it the way you want it. Sounds like there’s something else occurring with other glitches but could be a can of worms!

Ideally wouldn't mind wiping all setups, automation and routines and starting again Even the ring barely connects in classic
