So, I decided to buy a venta evaporative humidifier (AH550) which has wifi support. Unfortunately there is no homeassistant integration for this, so I needed to find a workaround solution with pyscript.

What to do to get there:

• download the venta home app to your smartphone (you need this to initially connect your humidifier to your wifi)
• create an account (sigh)
• in the app connect your humidifier to your wlan
• delete the account
• delete the venta home app
• in homeassistant install pyscript integration via hacs
• create a pyscript folder in your config
• create the necessary sensors input_booleans, input_numbers, input_selects in homeassistant
• restart homeassistant
• add a file "requirements.txt" in your pyscript folder
• add the text "venta_protocol_v3_device" in your requirements txt
• create a python file, I called mine "venta_humidifier.py"
• add the below code into the python file and voila all services and data available in local api can be used in homeassistant through automations
