This repository contains Home Assistant Automation Blueprints that I use in my own HAOS environment and am sharing with the community.
These blueprints focus on real-world reliability, optional helpers, and avoiding fragile “magic numbers” wherever possible.
Each blueprint consists of:
- a
.yamlfile containing the blueprint logic - (optionally) a companion
.mdfile with setup notes, rationale, and usage examples
If you want a smooth install and predictable behavior, read the documentation before importing.
Please use GitHub Issues — they help keep things organized and actionable:
When reporting a bug, include:
- Home Assistant version
- Blueprint version
- Relevant entity IDs
- What you expected vs. what happened
Questions and discussion are welcome — especially if you’re adapting a blueprint to your own setup.
- Use the relevant Home Assistant Community thread (linked per blueprint when available)
- Or open a GitHub discussion / issue if it’s repo-specific
If something here helped you, a ⭐ on the repo is always appreciated.
This blueprint automatically controls an exhaust fan based on humidity behavior, not just static thresholds.
It prefers a humidity rate (derivative) sensor when available, and falls back to absolute humidity thresholds if not.
- ✅ Auto-start fan when humidity is rising
- ✅ Auto-stop when humidity normalizes
- 💤 Optional Sleep Hours inhibit
- 🚿 Optional Shower Mode latch to avoid interfering with manual use
- ⏱ Optional max runtime timer failsafe
- 🔄 Works with or without derivative sensors
- A humidity sensor for the room
- A switch entity controlling the exhaust fan
Optional helpers are fully supported but not required.
