> So, I decided to buy a venta evaporative humidifier (AH550) which has wifi support.

As an initial post, I just wanted to say that Pyscript changed my whole usage of Home Assistant. I don't even use the built-in automations: everything is performed by Pyscript. Without it, I would dump 90% of my automation ideas due to the clunky automation interface and YAML clunkiness.

If you are too humble to post at the Pyscript GitHub Discussions, please post your questions here!
