I strongly prefer evaporative humidifiers (over mist ones), as they don’t leave residue all over. For years I used two Xiaomi SmartMi Evaporative Humidifier, connected happily to my Home Assistant. Last month, both of my humidifier (version 1 and verison 2) died: one wouldn’t turn on, the other one would report 100% constantly. I found that it’s, a common issue with these devices.
