I made some pasta after work yesterday, and you can clearly see the humidity spike in the house when boiling the water. Gotta remember to turn the extraction hood on if I don't want mold!

Most hoods are plugged into an outlet in the cabinet above it. Just pop a smart plug in there and leave the switch on the hood on.

I used a Shelly relay to add smarts to my dumb hood. Just interrupt the switches.

That powers the light too, so I'd rather not lose that.
