1. A humidity-activated switch comprising:

  • a humidity sensor capable of detecting a current ambient humidity value;

    a microcontroller operatively connected to said humidity sensor and configured so as to receive said current ambient humidity value detected by said humidity sensor; and

    a connection for connecting said microcontroller to a power source;

    wherein said microcontroller is configured so as to;

    store a baseline humidity value;

    receive said current humidity value from said humidity sensor;

    compare said current humidity value with said stored baseline humidity value; and

    periodically replace said stored baseline humidity value with said current ambient humidity value detected by said humidity sensor; and

    wherein said switch is configured so as to be automatically activated if said current ambient humidity value exceeds said stored baseline humidity value by a predefined amount.
