Honestly if the op wanted to have a set and forget, he should look into monotubs

That's my next project. From what I've learned it is definitely right along the lines of what I'm looking for. Really the only reason I invested so much energy into getting it as automated as possible is because I stay out of town for work pretty regularly (only a couple nights a week at most, but every week). Monotubs seem to be perfect for my situation. Now the only question is where I can sell all of this equipment to make some money back lol.
As far as humidity goes and humidistats, how do people with marthas humidify? I have seen a couple of vids and pics of big humidifiers in marthas. Is that another eye ball test thing?

Pretty much. And it's different with every species. Cubes you're sacrificing fae since they're pretty co2 tolerant for humidity. But with edibles you're having it for max fae. Another reason why mini gh is best is because of the chamber size. The more it can hold, the longer it can maintain conditions. That's why you can see jar in vitro because the extremely small chamber can't maintain conditions for long, so it'll still get lots of air exchanges per hour. Even in green houses, it isn't uncommon to have to manually mist occasionally.

How do you achieve fae in a Martha?

For cubes I have been finding my casing layers dry up too quickly. To compensate, the cool mist is on 30 min then off for 30. The ultrasonic runs 15 min on every hour, right after the cool mist shuts off You can adjust the amount of FAE by how zipped/unzipped the curtain is on the sides.
Here's how it is set up, it's very simple:
Two 4-tier wire shelves back to back. Ultrasonic on the top, evaporative humidifier on the bottom corner. Curtains unzipped 1/4 of the way on both sides.
Curtains pulled back by the evaporative humidifer for good FAE.

This is the goal for me. Just need to get more experience and guidance and maybe within a year or so... ... that's me... headbanging...from excitement...

Haha dude I'm in the same boat. Over the winter I'm making a walk in tent to run edibles and exotics. I am also making a mini gh in a cold storage room where I'll be attempting some indoor wood lovers for cubes though I just see no reason to deviate from monos. Monos are vastly superior. The canopies are stuff you don't see in Martha's.

Are there any teks other than Martha that effectively use humidifiers and air pumps?

Not really lol. Unless you're going to just make larger scale fruiting rooms and tents. You should check out the edibles work on here. Some jaw dropping work
