Hi, my evaporative humidifier just broke and it is time for a new one. What I am looking for

  • no cloud/account needed, just local, zigbee, zwave, wifi you name it
  • easy integration with hass
  • easy to clean
  • low maintenance fees (filters and stuff)
  • big rooms 50sqm+ so that it has enough "ooompf" Any ideas highly appreciated

Vornado Evap40 and the zigbee/zwave outlet controller of your choice. It's classic dumb tech; if you have it switched on but the power is off, it'll start just fine when you turn the power back on. The top of the central unit just lifts right off for cleaning. And it's a pure evaporative unit, so if something happens and it fails on, it's still self regulating.
