Lidl (for 7.99 euros) solves an everyday problem at home when the cold comes, the rain returns and the humidity rises.

It’s been more than a month since autumn entered Spain and with it the first storms and heavy rains. Something that added to the drop in temperature, Increases indoor humidity in houses and apartments (especially in coastal areas). An aspect that we should keep under control if we don’t want to spread fungus or mites.

And while one of the easiest ways to suddenly reduce this humidity is to ventilate, it’s not always the right time to do it. actually, Not knowing when to open doors and windows can even be counterproductive. If we do it at a critical moment where, unintentionally, we create humidity that we already had to rise even more. An everyday problem that has a simple (and economical) solution.

One that, through a small device, informs us of the right time to ventilate and when not to, depending on the outside conditions (if the environment is dry or humid respectively). And Lidl sells one that is practical and complete as well as very cheap: Only 7.99 euros. Compared to generally more expensive alternatives, such as from Amazon for 19.99 euros. Or this other one, by Leroy Merlin, at the same price. All great purchase options, in any case.

With measurement of internal and external parameters

We are talking about Livarno wireless weather station from Lidl. A super practical device that is A key function to solve the problem we mentioned includes: The ventilation recommendations at the time that are considered perfect to do this, even predict the expected changes inside the house after we do it. In addition, it includes a mold alarm that warns when humidity levels are critical and at that optimal point (which we want to avoid) where mold spreads.

The way it provides such precise indications is through the connection between an outdoor sensor, which we must have outside the house (on the patio, garden, porch, balcony or window frame) and the indoor station, which receives and translates this data. This sensor has IPX4 certification and is ready for continued use outdoors (as long as it is minimally protected under window sills, under facade projections on balconies…) without damage. And It spans up to 100 metersThis allows for placement at quite remote ends.

Thus, when the device indicates it, we can ventilate with certainty that there is dry air outside that will help reduce the humidity in the house. And also Avoid doing this when the outside air is loaded with moisture And in that case opening means maintaining indoor humidity levels, at best, and even increasing it. In a very comfortable way, just by looking at the screen of this weather station, which we can put in any room of the house.

As additional functions, the indoor device also provides information such as indoor and outdoor temperature, time (with a radio-controlled clock that automatically adjusts for winter and summer) and an alarm clock with snooze mode. In addition to a graph of different levels (very wet, wet, correct, dry and very dry) and color Know the humidity status at a glance at all times.
