Summary
This blog post describes a smart humidity monitor and alert system utilizing a DHT11 sensor and Arduino Nano to detect humidity levels and notify users with visual and audio alerts. The initial plan for full automation with a humidifier was unsuccessful due to the humidifier's logic controller, leading to a redesign as an alert system instead. The system includes a Windows Forms app in C# that displays humidity readings and indicates status through colored LEDs.
