You can make it as dynamic as you like, with prioritization and automated micromanagement. Attach it to thermometers, lights, heaters, misters, fans, your garage door, whatever. Certainly beats on/off cyclic timers.
It's cheap, but you'll have to be a little tech savvy. Plenty of tutorials and probably people to just outright program it for you.

Actually not everyone was a noob. Being a noob is a very new phenomenon. Many people, the great majority in fact, were simply "beginners", "novices" or "new to mushroom growing". Being a "noob" is reserved, and in fact created specifically for and by, the newer, much more lame generations coming about.

Thanks, San. I am tech savy -- had a career as a software/firmware/hardware engineer. I just don't feel like going the DIY route if I can help it.
BTW, for anybody who wants a good combination humidity and temperature controller, I highly recommend the Zoo Med HygroTherm Humidity & Temperature Controller. I have several of these, and they are accurate, easy to set, and for me, trouble free.
Back to construction issues, I'm definitely sold on the spray foam insulation and the FRP board, even though the board is frightfully expensive. But what do you do if you already have wood and not steel studs? Will this still work and be contaminant free, or is there some chance of wood rot, and steel is a much safer choice? Perhaps the fastening of the FRP board to the studs creates a potential break in the waterproof seal, and the opportunity for mold.

The EVC-2 is a digital temperature and humidity controller; customized for your needs. Each function has a clearly identified "pushbutton" and a large LCD display that makes it simple to use. 16' remote probe allows temperature and humidity to be measured at plant level. Operates on 110/120 voltage up to 15 amps.
Photocell allows day / night temperature & humidity settings and also provides daytime CO2 operation
Record & recall minimum and maximum temperatures & humidity
Can be setup for heating or cooling or combined cooling + dehumidification
(Setpoint range: 32°F to 122°F, +/- 1°F accuracy)
Independent humidity control to power a separate device for adding or removing humidity.
(0 to 99% humidity range, +/- 3% accuracy)
Adjustable 1°F to 9°F temperature differential (deadband)
Price: $259

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways - a Westvleteren 12 beer in one hand - Cohiba and Montecristo cigar in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming
"WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

Great info! I haven't dealt yet in this hobby with CO2 levels, and really need to. I see CO2 meters all over the place in price. Which one do you use, RR?
If you do decide to monitor CO2 and/or RH you can protect the sensors by sealing them behind a synthetic membrane (e.g. in a jar or even in a filter bag.) This will slow down their response rates significantly and give you a time weighted average. The smaller the volume of air and the larger the membrane the faster the response. For a spot check you can always open the container and expose the sensors.
