I agree, Supe. Since I"ve had the beads, my rh never varies more than a degree or so, and stays in the acceptable range.

In one storage tutorial I read (maybe on JR), the guy says he seldom even uses a hygrometer. He says if your humidifier is reliable (beads), there's no need for one.

My guess about the temp is that it can't be warmer in the humi than the room's temp.
