Years back when I had a wine cooler setup I tried using an Oasis in it. I had problems with condensation. The Oasis threw too much moisture into the air, and it all ended up in the bottom of the cooler. Part of the problem was also the frequent cycling of the cooling system, which in turn triggered the Oasis, which led to the condesation. It just seemed I could never achieve a good balance of temperature and humidity. If I was going to do it today, I'd try beads. Simpler and easier.

I still have a Johnson Controls thermostat controller I never even used from that experimental period.
