Zigbee Fingerbot Plus and Home Assistant - With a Twist!
Learn how to integrate the Zigbee Fingerbot Plus with Home Assistant in a unique way. Get more control over your smart home with this setup!
I bought the Zigbee Moes Fingerbot Plus to automate switching on my dehumidifier in Home Assistant. The problem I discovered is that my dehumidifier has a touch button (capacitive) on / off button (like you may have on your coffee machine) rather than a push button switch that the Fingerbot is made to work with.
In this video, as well as setting up the Fingerbot Plus in Home Assistant to automate switching on my dehumidifier, I'll show you how I have managed to modify the fingerbot to work with the touch button on / off button on my dehumidifier.
