Does someone have experience with a humidity control system (luchtbevochtiger)?

For instance;-) However in my house these kind of devices do not suffice and offcourse I want to integrate it with my domotica system.

In my case lowering humidity, except for the bathroom, is no problem. It is to dry 30-35% in our house, so I like to raise humidity baised on the readings of my humidity sensors which are available in all rooms and already integrated in my domotica system.

Air moisturisers exist.
You can check at your local wooden floor shop (Parketzaak).
(Really dry air is bad for your floor and can cause headache as well.)

But if the air outside in more humid you can also use your ventilation system to suck in moist air...

I know these devices exist. However, I would like to know if anybody has any experiences with these devices.

you could use an electric moisturer and switch it via a powerplug

That is what I was thinking about. But does someone know what moisturizers are good?

I just bought a humidifier two weeks ago. My house is extremely dry too (<30%). And with a wooden floor that presents a problem. Also problems with dry throath etc. I managed to get it up to 35 to 40%.

Humidifiers come in different shapes and sizes. My GF told me to get a designer one so that it's not that much of an eye sore. I got this one:

Works with a fan and has two settings. Blows cold humid air in the room. Have to fill it every day with about 2 - 3 litres of water. My GF opens the door a lot for the cat and that lets dry air in again.

But I am very happy with it.

35%-40% is not that much also. Is it running continuously? How about noise?

no.. but it's a big room. my house is kinda open concept, so it's humidying a room of 7 x 10 meters with the door to the bedroom open. That's more than it's designed for. Also as I stated my gf puts the outside door open which allows cold dry air to come in the house again. But the humidity during the winter was like 25%, that's what made me buy a humidifier (and my sore throath).

The noise level is ok. It's got two settings. The low setting is a low zooming noise like a very silent computer fan (it actually is a fan). The higher setting is a bit louder. Since our bedroom is close and we keep the door open we don't use the higher setting at night.

Use something like this:

Never use ultrasoon. Everything will get a white dust of the "kalk" in the water.
