I've been using a cheaper temp/humidity sensor in more recent play, I think I mentioned it elsewhere but just in case http://www.techtoys.com.hk/Components/SHT1x/SHT1x.htm
Somewhat cheaper than the SHT15 ( http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8257), a bit less accuracy but for what we are doing I can't see that matters. There are other alternatives around for the humidity sensing but I've not seen anything quite as neat for the purpose as the SHT sensors.

Hi Bob,
Using a Temp Humidity Sensor is a better play as I was considering this for fully automatic dew heater. I feel there is no requirement for ASCOM compatibility as it should find the sweet spot for dehumidification, Unless someone can tell me otherwise, maybe something I am missing.
