I use the SHT2000 controller to handle temperature and humidity. It keeps my temperature within 1/2 a degree from target and humidity within a couple of % of target, as well.

It will take a little bit to get to it to you but, worth it. Very reasonably priced.
I posted about my build here.

Nice build! I have been looking for a cheap cooler like that for awhile. Found a wine cooler once for 50 bucks, didn't get it at the time. I got a free mini fridge, but it had a bottom drawer, and I had to cut out the back of the fridge to fit my trays. Never did finish it. I decided I don't need to hatch that many eggs at a time anyway.
I like the mister idea, and was going to use one when I got an Inkbird.
Although, I wonder if a mister in a cooler bator would be overkill and spike readings.
I was looking at the controller unit you posted last week, and wondered if it would be reliable for the price. I may try it out, thanks for the heads up. I think I'm gonna make a wet bulb hygrometer for this hatch, fill my pan and see where it sits.
