since we live partially off-grid, we monitor our usage closely. we also consider that with the input/profit calculation of avian livestock sales. with her historic low hatch rates & the fact she was running 3 separate (25w-40w) incubators and 3-4 separate (janky) brooder setups using 75w-150w heat bulbs in open-air steralite tubs.... we should increase profitability 4-5× what it has been. often she has had less than 25% hatch rate and a 500w-750w per-hour cost of operation. hopefully this will solve both problems.

overnight, we achieved thermal mass equilibrium. lowest documented 99.7°F the highest was 100.4°F humidity is only 30%. we just stuck a 1/3 filled steralite shoebox-size pan of water in before bed. wife mentioned adding a humidifier connected to a sensor/switch inside the cabinet. CAN ANON RECCOMEND: a humidifier that can simply "run" when power is supplied (no need to push power/any button) and what type of humidity sensor/switch? I have never had to control humidity with accuracy.

at 9:15 pm tonight, I will have complete 24 hour power consumption data.
