Humidity Control Question

Ok, so I have an Aristocrat with the Set-it-and-Forget-It system and I LOVE it, but I've been having issues keeping the humidity down. Let me explain...

Humidor is in my bar, in the basement. During the winter, rock solid at 65%. During the summer, it gets up to 70-72%, which I don't want. Temp down in the basement stays around 74* or so but I don't know what to do to keep the humidity in the humidor down.

Would getting enough Heartfelt beads for the size of the humidor and putting them in dry help keep the excess humidity at bay?

Granted, the smokes getting to 70% isn't the end of the world, but I want them at 65%...to me, they're better that way.

Any suggestions?
