Chris, You might want to try the humidistats calibrated for dry climate. I'm planning to do so as soon as I can work it into the budget. That's what makes the most sense if one is using only humidistat and rod (no humidifying unit). The more moisture you keep out during the humid season, the closer you are to stable.
