I = use a good hygrometer that has an accuracy within 2% RH - mine actually tested = out within 1/2% RH. http://www.pacer-ind.com/hygrometers/dh50.html =20 Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 =20 Not sure I understand how a thermostat would give you a sense of RH. = You can have 80 degrees with 90% humidity or 80 degrees with 15% humidity. = If you are talking about using a thermostat combined with a hygrometer and checking a chart with the equivalent EMC, you are still dependent on the accuracy of your hygrometer which are only accurate to +/- 5% anyway, = no? =20 David Love davidlovepianos@comcast.net=20 -----Original Message----- I find a thermostat to work just as well and easy as a fancy humidistat. = I use a thermostat designed for a reptile terrarium. Just use a temp/RH = chart along with it and it's a cinch. Cost is about $30. =20 Terry Farrell ----- Original Message -----=20 =20 I found this humidistat that I would use for a wood conditioning box = that seems to be fairly good but expensive ($290). Anyone have any = experience with it or can you suggest one that works as well for less $$$.
