Yeah, mine doesn't seem to know when to shut off... I need to salt test my hydrometers to make sure I'm not crazy. I just changed the batteries in all of them so they may be wrong.

The hydrostats on moistnaires aren't at all accurate. They aren't really meant to be. We use the same kind in manufacturing applications cause they're "good enough".
If you take the little cover off and clean all the dust and spooge off the bimetal with alcohol and qtips they're a lot more reactive, even if not all that accurate.
That means the "swing" may only be 10% from start to stop rather than 20%. That'd get you more in the ballpark, at least.
We're used to beads and as such, we expect the RH to be rock solid at whatever%.
Moistnaires don't work like that. At all.
If that doesn't make sense I can explain it a little better.

Wow, yours looks a lot neater than mine. I have cigars falling out whenever I open the door.

Very nice - I've been needing a cabinet humidor for a long time, but i need one that is also temperature controlled.
Unfortunately the ones I've seen are just too $$
