FYI my wife loves the cold, so at night the temp is set to 65, and during the day it changes to 68.

Hope this helps.
Ok I had the Aprailaire 700 installed 3 years ago and the problem did increase substantially though it was always there. I just checked and it was at 18%, i can't go lower or we frizz each other.

TBH I don't understand your relay device and what it does exactly but will take onboard once i speak with a HVAC expert.

Wife HATES cold and refuses to set any lower than 70, should would have it at 75 if i let her.
