New Air 281 Condensation Question

[ccd1977]

House is at 74 degrees and the room humidity is 48 percent. I noticed a little puddle on the bottom of my Wineador.

If I keep the Wineador at 66 degrees and aim for 65 Humidity, will this be a problem with keeping a stable environment? How can I stop the condensation?

Another thread mentioned something like this. https://www.homebrewsupply.com/inkbird-digital-temperature-controller-thermostat-110v.html?gclid=CMfX-JKK588CFQ-raQod-yMD3w

Since I am on a budget, I was thinking about this. https://www.amazon.com/iPower-GLTIME-Mechanical-Increments-Construction/dp/B00BDGHJK4/ref=zg_bs_495340_13?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2HJ0QHY26TAMVJDCQAXK

What do you think I should do or will these even help?

I'd look into something that regulates based on the temp, not time.. budget wise, I'm thinking about this one for mine, but would rather go with the Inkbird (not much more $) This will allow it to cut off and on at certain temp points. As for the puddle, I haven't had anything like that happen, but I'm running bovedas, if that has anything to do with it.. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0M98G0/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_14?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A14X9047NAN5HZ

Thanks for this. I have not put anything in the winecooler yet for humidity. I wanted to run it for a bit and that when I noticed it a day later. Its got this odd sweet smell when I run it. Its not factory plastic but then again maybe.

On the recommendation of some others on here, I wired mine up with one of these... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00862G3TQ?psc=1

Works great!

Purchased! SO what setup do you have?

Think its a New Air 181. I had a bit of condensation going on last summer so I unplugged the drain and hooked up a hose that runs into a distilled water jug below the unit.
