Cabinet Owners - Humidification

I picked up a cabinet earlier this year that had a Hydra LG humidifying system included. It came with a total of 4 little fans that are nice to move air around (2 are constantly on, 2 only turn on when the main unit kicks on). When I first set everything up, it worked great, albeit the controller was about 5% off even after messing with the "calibration". Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I accidently unplugged the unit - now the controller reads 0% humidity and 0°F. I have tried unplugging and plugging back in a few times with the same result.

I figured the system would kick on and run constantly since it was reading 0% humidity and it was set to 62%, but alas, it doesn't kick on at all. I have spent too many nights trying to get this thing working and am looking to just move on to something stable that I don't need to mess with.

This is my first humidor that I am not just using HCM beads and/or Boveda, so I don't know much about what is on the market - can anyone point me in the right direction? I would rather cry once buy once and not have to deal with this again. Cabinet is 80.5 inches Tall, 46.5 inches wide and 17.5 inches deep.

I’ve been very happy with my Cigar Oasis magna.  Unlike the Hydra systems, it doesn’t forget its settings when the power goes out.

This is what I’ve had for almost 15 years with no issues.

Keeping the settings would be fantastic, I will look in to this one.

I've had the avallo setup in my new cabinet and I'm pretty pleased with the constant humidity that it keeps. I'm not pleased with the way its freaked out in the last 6 months with the numbers blinking and everything else. I haven't really looked into solutions to it yet as I have a few hygrometers in there telling me what is going on in there but yeah. I'm sure it's something simple? I hope so.

I do have to say that it keeps humidity as stable as I've ever seen.
