Documentation in examples.php to Set Humidity (on, off, %)

[jocamero]

Hello,

I see in the 'Setters' section of readme.md that Humidity (on, off, %) is an option but I'm not seeing anything in the documentation on how to set this. It would be great to have an example for how to set the humidity or turn the humidifier on/off.

For example, I'd like to have a script run that will check the outside temperature and disable the humidifier or set the level of humidification based on the outside temp (dew point would be even better!).

$nest->enableHumidifier(true); // Enable or disable Nest Sense Humidifier
$nest->setHumidity(40);

Take a look at https://github.com/rbrenton/nest-utils.git It contains nest-humidityCheck.php that will do what you want

NP .. It worked well over the winter .. I cleaned up the display a little (rounded temps to whole numbers), added it to cron to run every 20 minutes and appended the output to a file so that I have a history.

cat nest-humidityCheck

!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/php /Users/rr0ss0rr/bin/nest-humidityCheck.php | sed "s/^/date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M '/" >> /Users/rr0ss0rr/log/nest-humidity-data 2>&1
