I started using some Sonoff TH10 that I flashed with the Tasmota firmware for monitoring temperature and humidity around my home. I have the values reported via MQTT and things are working great.
However, I moved my sensors from the temporary location which was just somewhere in the room to what I thought was a better location.
I have a sensor mounted in my HVAC return duct. I also have a sensor mounted in each of my bathroom exhaust fans.
The temperature and humidity swings are pretty drastic now. Also, the humidity is in the 90s as opposed to it being about 50-60% when the sensor was elsewhere in the room.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I have spray foam insulation on the roof surface and this is a one-story house. My guess is the spray foam insulation isn't keeping the attic as cool as the rest of the house. And as the warmer humid attic air meets the cooler exhaust fan there is an increase in humidity.
I imagine insulating the exhaust fans in the attic might help.
For the last few months, I had my bathroom fan come on and off automatically with the humidity. If the bathroom humidity was more than 15% higher then the sensor under the sofa turn on. And when it was less than 10% different it would turn off. It worked perfectly. I tried to optimize the sensor location (and my wife wasn't thrilled with it just hanging on the counter) and now I discovered this "issue."
