This is a Levoit Vital 100 and it has a timer to switch itself off after x hours but i’d like to turn it on automatically.

I’m somewhat fit with soldering and taking stuff apart but i don’t wanna go that route before i have atleast a rough understanding of what’s up with those buttons.

Thx! 🙂

    If OP is willing to open it up, you can just bypass the capacitive button and directly close the circuit it controls with the ESP’s pins.

    But yeah, Home Assistant and ESPHome are awesome!

      I think for all the talk of integrating a servo, wiring in a relay or some other internal bypass makes more sense.
