I get the appeal of adjustable dials, but honestly, I’ve had better luck with humidity sensors that auto-calibrate over time. The last one I installed was a bit pricier, but it “learned” the room’s normal levels and stopped flipping on every time I boiled water or took a quick shower. Less fiddling, and it’s been more energy efficient for me. Sometimes the hidden dials just end up being another thing to forget about...
That’s actually pretty slick—never tried one of those “learning” sensors myself, but I can see the appeal. I’ve been burned by dials before (literally, once...long story involving a space heater and a distracted Tuesday). Do you notice any lag when the humidity spikes, or does it catch up pretty quick? I always wonder if the auto-calibrate ones get confused in older houses where airflow’s a bit...questionable.
