# humidity changed

This block is part of the [`globals`](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals) group and was last modified in core [`v15.0.0`](https://docs.rual.nl/core-versions/150000).

Starts the flow when a humidity reading changes. Set above or below to fire only when it crosses a threshold.

- device `v15.0.0` `value` Only fire for this device. Leave empty for every device reporting humidity.

- room `v15.0.0` `value` Only fire for devices in this room. Leave empty for every room.

- above `v15.0.0` `number` Fire when the reading CROSSES above this %. Fires once per crossing, not on every reading above it.

- below `v15.0.0` `number` Fire when the reading CROSSES below this %. Fires once per crossing.

- flow `v15.0.0` `flow`

- device `v15.0.0` `object` The full device: id, name, room, type, capabilities, current state.

- device id `v15.0.0` `value` Stable platform id, e.g. zigbee:0x00158d0007e1a2b3.

- name `v15.0.0` `value` The device's friendly name.

- room `v15.0.0` `value` The room the device is assigned to, empty if none.

- type `v15.0.0` `value` sensor, light, switch, climate, cover, lock or button.

- capability `v15.0.0` `value` Which capability changed, e.g. occupancy, contact, power.

- value `v15.0.0` `value` The new value.

- previous `v15.0.0` `value` The value before this change, empty on the first report.

- at `v15.0.0` `number` Unix seconds the device reported.

Start-of-flow trigger on the humidity capability, relative humidity percent. Threshold semantics are identical to temperature changed: crossings, not levels.
