All hail Habitat Monitor

After 10 years my Habitat Monitor controller started to hiccup. Occasionally it failed to trip the relay and shut off the Duracraft humidifier. No big deal.

A new one would cost hundreds (and be well worth the money) but even after 10 years the folks at CMT took care of me. For a reasonable fee they rebuilt the device - new humidity sensors, firmware and relay - and sent it back. And they did it all quickly and with no drama.

I'm a customer for life. Thanks, David.

Very cool. I hadn't heard of this company before, but I'll have to go check them out. Always glad to see companies with great customer service.

One of the ones I bought is at least 10 yrs old, and it recently took a dump. The guys at CMT are a great though, they've taken good care me in the past.

Great to hear they back their products, but I'm a little put off by the total lack of pricing information on their web site. "Call to order" isn't something I find particularly attractive.

And I am in the design phase of building a cooled room....

Cooled room? You mean a walk-in frigador? Sounds cool

Don't be put off by the website, they are a custom boutique, not some big corporation with a full time webmaster. There was a time when I trusted $25k in aged cigars to their equipment and my humidor was rock solid stable. I see they have come up with new models since then.

That's the idea. For me, the best solution I can come up with is a small, cooled room, with racks for my coolers. I use 65% beads, and the coolers maintain sock-solid humidity. I need temperature control, without breaking the bank every month when the electric bill arrives.

So I've partitioned my workroom closet, setting up a 4x8ft room, sealed and insulated. Leaning towards a Koolspace wine room unit for the temp control. No worries about humidity.

Okay. That tells me what I needed to know about price.
