A method of operating a laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to a treating cycle of operation. The laundry treating appliance comprises a treating chamber for receiving the laundry that is selectively accessible through a door movable between opened and closed positions. The method comprises determining at the end of a laundry treating cycle whether the door has been opened and subsequently reclosed and reducing humidity in the treating chamber after the determination that the door has been reclosed.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to a cycle of operation with the laundry treating appliance including a treating chamber for receiving laundry selectively accessible through a door, can include determining the removal of laundry after completion of the cycle of operation and reducing humidity in the treating chamber after determination of the removal of the laundry.

A method of controlling a plurality of home appliances to regulate humidity includes monitoring a humidity value from one or more of a humidity sensor. The method also includes detecting, by at least one of the one or more humidity sensors, the humidity value is less than a threshold humidity value. The method further includes releasing, at one or more appliances of the plurality of home appliances, water vapor. Artificial intelligence detects the one or more humidity sensors that detects the humidity value less than the threshold humidity value, and releases water vapor at the one or more appliances of the plurality of appliances proximate the one or more humidity sensors.

Provided is a clothes treating apparatus which may include a cabinet defining an outer appearance of the apparatus and having an introduction opening, a clothes receiving device provided in the cabinet and receiving therein clothes through the introduction opening, a circulation passage through which internal air of the clothes receiving device circulates, a heat-exchanging passage connected to the circulation passage to guide external air outside the circulation passage into the circulation passage for heat exchange with the internal air of the circulation passage, and a fan provided at the heat-exchanging passage to generate airflow in the heat-exchanging passage.

A method of operating a washing machine appliance includes flowing a volume of wash liquid into the wash tub. The method also includes activating a heater in thermal communication with the wash tub. As a result of activating the heater, the wash liquid is heated. The method further includes measuring a humidity value with a humidity sensor positioned and configured to measure a humidity within the wash tub and determining, based on the measured humidity value, a steam generation status.

A washing and drying machine has a treatment tub and comprises: a washing circuit, for drawing liquid from the tub and conveying it back into the tub, having a pump and means for heating the liquid; a drying circuit for extracting air from the tub and conveying it back into the tub, having a first fan, means for dehumidifying the air, and means for heating the dehumidified air; and a heat-pump arrangement having a refrigerating circuit for a refrigerant fluid, which includes a first condenser, a first evaporator, a first lamination valve, and a compressor. The means for heating the liquid comprise the first condenser, and the refrigerating circuit further comprises a second condenser, in series to the first condenser, and a second evaporator. The means for dehumidifying the air comprise the second evaporator, and the means for heating the dehumidified air comprise the second condenser.
