Trigger a switch from a sensor

Hi

I'm a long-time homeassistant user, and I have a lot of IKEA devices, so I've recently bought a Dirigera hub to play with. I'm not intending on replacing homeassistant, as it's working fine for me, but I still like to see what else is available, and I'm interested in playing with matter and thread using the Dirigera hub.

With that intro out of the way, I'm trying to work out how to trigger a switch based on a value from a humidity sensor. That's trivially easy to do in homeassistant, but it seems impossible in the IKEA world. I have an IKEA VINDSTYRKA air quality sensor, and a dehumidifier connected to a TRETAKT smart plug. I'd have thought I'd be able to trigger the dehumidifier to come on when the VINDSTYRKA humidity reading goes above a certain level, and turn it off again when it drops below a set threshold, but that seems impossible.

Am I right? If so, it's really not very smart-home is it, if all it is is a more awkward way of turning lights and switches on and off ... ?

Thanks ...
