E.g. running dehumidifiers to take the water out of the air? (Could that possibly be cost effective?)

Or has the drought eased?
Hi, I find the RH% inside the GH when foggers r off, tend to hit the bottom and the plants suffer from excessive dehydration and start wilting. So primary concern here is humidification so that I can atleast maintain RH above 50% during the day. I recently rigged up an Aurdino microcontroller based temperature and humidity data logger. Now I am working on a controller to trigger the fogger motors on a trial and error frequency to achieve moderate RH consistently during the day.
