I am looking for a Dehumidifer, I would prefer under 100 bucks, that has either an analog On off switch or has an Auto Restart feature that allows it to turn back on after a power outage, I would like to run it with a Humidity controller, but unless it just as a toggle switch for on/off or an auto restart feature, a normal digital dehumidifer wont kick back on after the controller cuts the power. I have been searching on amazon for 2 hours and cant seem to find what im looking for anyone know of one with either of these features that is good for about a 500sq ft room?

It seems to me that the cheapest, simplest solution would be to just replace the existing momentary switch with a toggle. That should be a direct swap wiring wise.
Just a thought…

Got this awhile back to work with my inkbird, works great after a power outage.
But 500sq feet is kinda large. For just 1.
Or the ACI one. Think about getting the controller 69 with it. Found the ACI sensor to be more accurate than my inkbird

You’ll have a pretty hard time finding one.
I think most just abandon the idea of using a controller (cuz issue you are finding, and your humidity probe is inside the tent and your dehumidifier is outside …). Just use the built-in controller on the dehumidifier itself. They all have a way to set the target RH.
If your lung room is 75%, get the biggest dehumidifier you can afford, set it to 55-60%, run it in your lung room. Done.
If you lose power you’re still shit out of luck, but I assume that’s rare.

I have a very Basic dehumidifier, that I plug into a Humidity Controller.
The controls are simple, a knob, that shuts the unit down at zero%, and you can turn it to 100% for max…
As long as its Not on Zero, the unit can be started, by the Controller !

these do exactly what you want. i use a timer on mine and it turns back on to the same humidity setting you set it at. i know its not 100$ or under but good luck finding a good dehu for that price. btw i have 3 of these refurbs and they work great.

This is what I’ve been using for the 5x5.
It’s around $30 and there are tons of knock offs just like it.
I have it patched into one of these and use an ACInfinity Controller 69pro w/ sensor.
