There is also a topic shellies/<model>-<deviceid>/ext_humidities which publishes the data:
{
"0":{"hwID":"XXXXXXXX","hum":50}
}
One solution could be to pivot to subscribing to these topics and parsing the json. The device channel dropdown could be enhanced to allow the user to select a specific channel, or to allow the selection of an identifier. Logic to determine if the channel or identifier was selected would be needed to determine how to process messages from the new topic.
