What does it mean?
Your Phyn Smart Water Sensor checks humidity levels every hour. You received this alert because the sensor detected humidity above the xx% threshold you set in the app.
Humidity levels above 60% can promote mildew and mold growth, which may lead to health issues and damage to your home. During winter months, maintaining lower indoor humidity can also help prevent condensation and moisture-related problems.
What can I do?
Depending on the cause of the high humidity, consider the following actions:
Install or use an exhaust fan in areas where moisture is common, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms
Run exhaust fans during activities like showering or using the dishwasher
Use a dehumidifier as a longer-term solution, especially during colder months
Turn on central air conditioning to reduce humidity when seasonally appropriate
Add indoor plants, which can help regulate humidity levels naturally
If you prefer, you can also adjust your humidity alert settings in the Phyn app to better match your comfort level and home conditions.
