Vos capteurs d'humidité meurent dans votre salle de bain à cause... de l'humidité

30 avril 2026 à 07:42

Le BME280 et le DHT22, deux capteurs ultra-populaires en domotique, ont une faiblesse cachée dans leur spécifications : ils ne supportent pas la condensation. Les gens de Mellow Labs ont creusé la question sur Hackaday après avoir flingué plusieurs sondes dans une salle de bain, et le coupable est marqué noir sur blanc dans les caractéristiques du produit, « non-condensing humidity »…

Le souci tient en fait à la physique du truc. Quand l'humidité relative dépasse les 100%, l'air saturé en vapeur d'eau rencontre une surface plus froide, et l'eau se condense en gouttelettes.

Dans une salle de bain c'est un scénario particulièrement fréquent : vous prenez une douche chaude, l'air monte à 95% d'humidité, puis quand le ventilateur souffle ou que vous ouvrez la porte, la température chute brutalement et l'eau se dépose sur tout ce qui est froid. Y compris les composants de votre capteur.

Et là, c'est la mort. La couche sensible (généralement un polymère hygroscopique) est conçue pour absorber la vapeur d'eau, pas pour boire des gouttes. Une fois saturée d'eau liquide, rien ne va plus. Au mieux le capteur renvoie des valeurs aberrantes pendant des heures, au pire il finit par se déglinguer définitivement. Mellow Labs a flingué plusieurs DHT22 et BME280 comme ça avant de comprendre ce qui se passait.

La solution existe heureusement. Sensirion vend le SHT40, un capteur avec un chauffage intégré contrôlable en I2C sur plusieurs niveaux de puissance. Quand il détecte que l'humidité grimpe vers la zone dangereuse (Mellow Labs déclenche le sien à 70%), il chauffe pendant maximum une seconde pour faire évaporer la condensation. Pendant la chauffe il ne mesure rien évidemment, sinon les valeurs seraient fantaisistes, mais ça suffit à protéger le capteur sur le long terme.

Du coup pour ceux qui montent une domotique sérieuse en salle de bain, en cuisine ou dans une cave humide, oubliez les BME280 et DHT22 standards. Ils sont parfaits pour un salon ou une chambre, mais ils ne sont pas conçus pour ces usages. Le surcoût d'un SHT40 ou d'un BME690 reste raisonnable (autour de 10 à 15 € contre 3 à 5 € pour un DHT22), et vous économisez le remplacement annuel.

Au passage, ça vaut le coup de regarder les spécifications avant de coller un capteur dans un endroit compliqué. La mention "non-condensing humidity" se trouve souvent dans les caractéristiques de ce type de produits.

Surface fans are now 3D‑printing the hardware Microsoft won’t build

A Surface fan designed a 3D‑printed dock that improves lapability and pairs the Surface Pro with Lenovo’s TrackPoint keyboard.

A hand places a stylus onto a keyboard's built-in holder. The keyboard is black, with a distinct red pointer, and rests on a white desk.
