防止霉菌：宁可小心，也不要后悔

没人想要它，但它常常会在不知不觉中悄悄进入家中：霉菌。我们将告诉您如何预防霉菌，并通过巧妙的预防措施确保它毫无可乘之机。

霉菌滋生不仅外观难看，还会对砖石结构造成损害——这种真菌也确实对健康构成威胁。墙壁、地板或纺织品上的潮湿环境，为霉菌生长提供了理想的温床。这些不请自来的毛绒绒“住客”不仅出现在老建筑中，在新建房产中也同样常见。外墙或窗户隔热不良、持续降雨，或新建筑中的墙体未能充分干燥，都可能成为霉菌滋生的原因。此外，有些房间中一定程度的潮湿是无法避免的——例如浴室或厨房。

There are many causes of mold

Water vapor is produced when showering, drying laundry, or cooking. However, with targeted measures, it is relatively easy to deal with mold—without having to sacrifice personal hygiene or food intake, of course. The key to a spore-free home is correct ventilation and heating, as well as monitoring the humidity.

To prevent mold in a targeted manner, it is first necessary to examine the triggers closely. Otherwise, fungal spores can spread quickly and subsequently make mold removal more difficult.

These are the ways mold finds its way into the house

Mold develops in houses due to moisture on surfaces that are favorable for mold fungi's growth — e.g., walls, fabrics, joints, seals, etc.

Excessive humidity can occur in many ways, such as condensation, poor ventilation, incorrect heating behavior, or structural conditions. These include inadequate insulation, damaged windows and doors, thermal bridges, leaking roofs, or exterior walls. Indoor plants and aquariums or blocked and defective rain gutters or downpipes can also cause the humidity in the room to rise unnoticed. Triggers such as burst pipes or flooding are more obvious.

Some factors are therefore easy to identify - others are not recognizable at first glance.

Prevent mold with smart home products from Shelly

Large temperature differences and excessive humidity are two of the main causes of mold infestation. However, undetected leaks or water accumulation and incorrect heating behavior can also be triggers for mold growth. Fortunately, the extensive Shelly portfolio offers a simple and naturally smart solution for all these dangers.

智能家居里发霉？有 Shelly 就不会

Shelly 为您时刻监测室内空气。例如，您可以信赖 Shelly BLU H&T。它小巧低调且防泼溅，这意味着它可以灵活地放置在任何需要的位置——浴室、厨房台面或卧室中。节能的 Bluetooth 连接使其电池续航最长可达三年。

如果您想要一款带显示屏的传感器，Shelly H&T Gen3 是不错的选择。您可以在这里直接读取温度和湿度。它通过 WLAN 通信，因此电池续航会略短一些，最长可达一年。

Manage Shelly H&T via the Shelly app

One of the H&T sensors detects excessive humidity in the room air? No problem. Thanks to a scene created in advance in the app, it simply regulates this problem itself in the smart home by instructing connected devices to turn on the ventilation or turn up the heating. In addition (or alternatively), it sends a push notification to the residents so that they can intervene themselves at an early stage to prevent mold growth – by opening the windows for shock ventilation.

In addition, all measured values are saved in the app as a data history.

Wall display ensures comfort and clarity

Shelly's Wall Display also helps to combat mold. It shows the temperature and humidity on its screen. If the values are conducive to mold infestation, the temperature can be turned up immediately on the display or via the app. Finally, heating control in the Shelly Smart Home is also possible via networked components, such as the Shelly BLU TRV thermostatic valve or the smart actuators for underfloor or electric heating.

Recognize flooding directly

Another smart component that doesn't give mold a chance is the small Shelly Flood. The WLAN water detector is positioned in the cellar next to the heating or washing machine, for example, and immediately detects if a leak has formed and water is escaping. Continuous rain is also becoming an increasing problem. If moisture collects unnoticed, damage is inevitable. Here too, the Shelly Flood sends a warning directly via the app. This makes it possible to take countermeasures without delay and prevent mold from breeding.
