I constantly forget to take showers due to depression. I know I'm not the only one ๐Ÿ˜‚ summer is early here in Texas and I don't want to be the stinky dude

Uses the humidity readings of my bathroom to determine whether I was in the shower:

  • A running 1 hour average of the bathroom humidity is measured.
  • If the current humidity is 8% above the average, it is triggered as "wet".
  • Then it marks down the last time, and then converts that to "days & hours since" last shower.

I have a badge at the top of my main dashboard that will let me know how long it's been. It's already been useful. If I see anything over 2 days I know it's past time for a shower

I got a false positive from washing my hands when it was set to trigger by 5% increases, so I changed it to 8%.

Happy to share my code if anyone wants to do the same!

i have a humidity sensor in the bathroom that turns the ceiling fan on, and the way that works is that it compares the bathroom humidity to humidity in other areas of the house, so it takes into account humid/dry days automatically
