    I just finished the wiring on a homemade humidity and temperature control setup. Well it's not quite that innovative. I bought a humidity sensor with relay that can be hooked up to an outlet. The sensor can be set to activate the outlet say if RH% gets less than 70%. A fogger or mister could easily be connected to that. I also setup a temperature controller as well that will turn on heat pads if the temp falls below a certain value or cool if goes too high. Apparently this sort of equipment is big in the home brew world and with cigar making folk who need exact temp and humidity conditions. I can post more details and photos if people are interested.

    Still haven't set up my frog tank yet but the finishing touches to the equipment are nearly there

    This engineer would love to see pictures, model numbers, schematics ect ect.

    I am in the process of developing a new type of HVAC system that is 99% inside of the enclosure
    and does not dry out the enclosure. ( unless you want it to. for desert conditions )

    I'd be interested in seeing details for sure. I also have a thermostat for controlling the heating pads, but nothing for humidity control.

    Having some difficulty loading photos so bare with me.Humidifer: search for WH8040 humidifier on amazon. Costs about $30. The thermostat was the STC1000 and cost $20. The latter is used a lot by home brewers. The wiring took a little figuring out but I can clean up my diagram and post it for others to see. The test runs seem to indicate everything is in order; when the RH drops below 70% the device turns on an outlet which in turn powers a humidifier modified to be a fogger. Mist starts, humidity goes up and then machine turns off.
