      Yeah I am in the same boat. I operate a swamp cooler inside my house, even!

      But I used to live on a hill in San Francisco, the first hill the fog would hit as it rolled in from the Pacific Ocean, and I distinctly remember the feeling of getting up in the morning and reaching between the hangers in the closet to take a shirt out, and feeling how they were all damp. Super gross!

        I wonder why there are no humidistats.

        You know, a combined humidifier/dehumidifier that keeps a constant humidity.

          Complexity? You either need a drain, or a supply of water, that can’t be easy to work with, and unlike with a refrigerant loop, you can’t just reverse it to dry/wet things.
