Question about Temp Reading Display on Wineador

@CamoSutra thanks for the info. The beads are spread throughout. I actually have them loose on the floor with a large bag near the back to catch condensate, two pucks near the bottom front, a large tube two spots up in a drawer, a large rectangle in the back below the fan, a large tube on the shelf above the lower drawer, a large tube on the next shelf (other side), large tube in the next drawer. So they are EVERYWHERE. :) It's still at 60% (a hygro on the front of each drawer) so I think the beads are just playing catch up.

You can't see in the photo to well but the hygros read 60%/67F while the display reads 57F.

When I fired mine up after the winter last year it took 24-48 hours for the HF beads to eventually bring the RH back to normal and then stayed no problem from there on.

Update:

I think the thermostat is off by -10F. I noticed my hygros were reading 68F and the display read 58F. If the display was just not showing the right number, the unit should be on, but it wasn't. I turned down the thermostat to 57F, and lo and behold it kicked on. I could compensate and just set the unit -10F of my desired temp, but what if it starts working normally and suddenly my temp plummets...

The kicker is the RH is still hovering between 57%-60% and I'm sure the unit hasn't kicked on since I first plugged it in yesterday, and while it was unplugged, the RH was extremely stable. I threw some 72 Bovedas in there to help the beads, and added a third "control" hygroscopic to double check my readings. I'm real close to pulling the plug and just cranking the AC. Or getting a third party controller and a Cigar Oasis.
