Hello Roger: I use the DC products without any complaint or need to find a substitute. I was thinking more for a wood conditioning cabinet than for a piano. But now that you bring it up, it would be nice if DC made a dial up unit compatible with their products for just such a purpose. What's the possibility of that?

(I need to control the test room at various extremes of relative humidity.) The dial readings are not particularly accurate so a good hygrometer is needed for calibration. I think it would work fine in the shop but not for a piano. Years ago we decided not to build a dial-up unit. We think a piano owner might adjust the dial and then either over dry or over humidify the piano. Our fear is that the piano owner would then file a claim against us for the damage. Maybe we are a bit paranoid, but we pride ourselves on never having an insurable product liability claim in the 57-year history of the company. Conversely, we have thought about selling our humidistat into the greenhouse market. If I remember correctly that Greenair product is kind of expensive.
