There are four types of Actions that can be created: “Motion Sensing”, “Control with a Switch”, “Schedule a Scene” and “Auto-off Timer”.

I have about 20 HS210 switches in my home. I would like to have a humidity sensor in my bathroom that will trigger my bathroom fan to come on automatically when the humidity is above 80%. This way when someone is taking a shower the fan will come on automatically and eliminate the need to turn on the fan manually. Any ideas?
