knighty:
how do you dry the cabinet out? or is that a tray of desiccant in the bottom?
zpyder:
Tray of silica dessicant in the bottom. We have two of them. Each morning we swap the one in the cabinet out with the other one which has been drying out in an oven set to 104 degrees celcius.
Daily swapping is overkill as the dessicant goes pink when it's used up, and never does. We used to go about a week between changes but found without strict protocols the technicians slacked... Hence this alarm!

Oohh... Intriguing.
I'm currently making a temp/humidity/uv meter.
The silica is probably a bit quicker. Though it's making me think that perhaps I could make a fan that circulates air inside when the door is closed and the humidity is above a set level.

a fan should make a a massive difference...
you'll defiantly have a dryer area around the silica and a wetter area around the stuff being dried
