Looks like the app lets me choose a humidity from 35 - 80 in 5 increment steps, and then Low, High or Smart Dry Fan Speeds, ON and OFF and that's about it as far as I can tell. It can report back Bucket Full and Filter Status but they just say "OK" ``` [9/22/2026, 2:33:21 PM] [SmartHQ] Matter is available but not enabled.
