Automating Your Bathroom Fan with Matter

Automating your bathroom fan may not seem like the most exciting smart home upgrade, but humidity control is one of the most practical and overlooked automations you can set up. Today, I’m showing you how I automated my bathroom exhaust fan using Matter over Thread devices.

🚨 Disclaimer: This is not the cheapest way to do this, but it’s one of the few Matter over Thread solutions available today. Later this year, Inovelli is releasing a Matter-enabled humidity-sensing switch, which will simplify this setup. But for now, if Matter over Thread is your priority, this is how you do it.

💡 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ The Inovelli White Series Fan Switch and how it works
✅ The Arre Temperature & Humidity Sensor and why it’s great
✅ The best way to test your automation before installing the switch
✅ Why I set a timer instead of using humidity drops to turn off the fan
✅ Future-proofing for when Inovelli’s humidity-sensing switch is released

If you decide to automate your bathroom fan, let me know in the comments! Did this setup work for you? What did you do differently?
