Wherein, the steerable humidity transducer of controller detects indoor humidity, and simultaneously, the numerical value conveying that humidity transducer will detect conveys the controller, and the controller compares the detection numerical value of receiving rather than the default of inside settlement. If the received detection value is less than or equal to the preset value, it indicates that the indoor humidity value is low, and the controller controls the atomizer 130 to start up to perform the humidification operation. If the received detection value is greater than the preset value, it indicates that the indoor humidity value is high, and the controller controls the nebulizer 130 to be turned off or to be kept in a turned-off state.

In one embodiment, the controller may control the humidity sensor to detect the ambient humidity in the room every predetermined time interval. Or the humidity sensor can control the humidity sensor to detect the indoor environment humidity in real time.
