Been using enbrighten switches from Jasco. I use their Zwave but I think they have ZigBee too.
I use the ones that look like toggle switches over the paddle style to match the rest of the house .
I have them on all our bathroom fans too so they can be left on (steam / smell disposal) and auto shut off after 30 min.
I'm think about putting them on bathroom fans as well. It would be really nice to have them automatically turn on/off based on humidity.
I had a humidity switch in ours a while ago (not smart) and it would turn on too much even if a shower wasn't running but our windows were open. And, enough humidity was in the air. So that didn't work out great.
It was a self contained deal not a smart switch though
I got the enbrighten switches set up on the bathroom fan. After a few months of observing the humidity changes I settled on triggering the fan based on the derivative of the humidity. I found that 2%/s with 2min of averaging works well, no false positives so far.
