Having network access can have some use for a dehumidifier, e.g. to remotely set the target humidity level, or get notifications when the water tank needs to get emptied. But having devices that depend on a specific app or a vendor-provided remote service risks having a useless device after a while ... --134.102.219.31 13:19, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
- Humidifiers typically have a physical control to set a target humidity level, and even the most basic models turn off when the water tank gets full. Since humans can't really tell the difference between 40-60%, which is the range of most humidifiers, there is no need for a remote control to change the humidity levels on a machine. As for the water tank, regular use of the humidifier will teach the user about how long it can run before turning off and needing to be emptied. 136.62.110.93 (talk) 13:58, 30 June 2025 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- Though there might be a device that attempts to do both jobs, note that this is a dehumidifier (as you functionally refer to) and not necessarily also a capable humidifier (as you namechecked it). 92.23.2.228 17:53, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
