Medisana UHW, not sure if they ship overseas. Its cheap and able to kick out 3,5litres in 5 hours…You will struggle to find any electrical item that will auto power on after the power is disconnected.

Sure, just bypass the digital control. I don't think the fan motor will be happy with a dimmer though, likely to make noise and run hotter.dbz: Let me help. I know where you're going with your question. Find just any old/newer evaporative type humidifier. The ones with a wet filter and a fan. Never mind the guts, you're likely gonna rip them out, anyway. Very first thing, check the fan voltage. If it's 110 volts, ......get the picture? Tear all the electronic shit out, put a Home Despot 110-volt dimmer switch ($10), in series with the fan, through the cord, right to your line. Plug it in, turn the switch on, set the speed you want the humidifier fan to run at and you're all set. If you still need humidity control, plug this into your InkBird, NIWA, your fav controller, or a humidistat. Guaranteed to auto-restart every time. You only need to turn the fans on or off with evaporative humidifiers. And for $10, you get a bonus: variable fan speed!.........bet this might just fill the bill for you. If you don't know electricity, have a friend that knows electricity (or an electrician) help you. After reading this, any of those can figure this out in their heads. Don't mean to sound condescending. I don't know your skills. Be safe.....
I use this. It's a little cheaper without the Inkbird name.You will struggle to find any electrical item that will auto power on after the power is disconnected.
I am looking for a decent humidifier to incorporate into a couple rooms I am building. I am having a lot of trouble finding one with auto start...they are all programmable it seems like when you get to a decent size and the ones I have found aren't worth a shit. I need it to autostart because I am using relays to turn on and off automatically. Any suggestions?

You're exactly right. That's why I ripped the inards out of my evap humidifier and put in the above design. Works perfect.You will struggle to find any electrical item that will auto power on after the power is disconnected.
Is this a pic of your humidifer? I do not know nothing about “catch bucket” untill you are talking about dehumidifer…Whatever ya do I hope you clean the catch bucket. I do it weekly. Common to all humidifiers I'm aware of , a slime forms in bottom of catch bucket about a week after cleaning. It's a pairing of mold and bacteria.....pic attached.

You should not confuse humidifer with dehumidifer. But whatever autostart is a must on both devices otherwise you are your own slave.I have 50-pint Midea from Home Depot, and it has auto restart (manual page 11) "If unit stops because power is cut unexpectedly, it will restart with previous function settings automatically when the power resumes." So I got lucky, then. Its been too dry this winter to see how good it works; I've only had it a couple months.
So sorry....stoned as usual...I saw " dehumidifier"........ and yes, that is my all natural , organic General Electric " Protoplasm 3000 " moisture injecting humidifier.Is this a pic of your humidifer? I do not know nothing about “catch bucket” untill you are talking about dehumidifer…
When I was buying mine I got kinda scammed. They advertised it with built in on/off timer but it was actually only 12hrs off timer. Cost me another 50€ on compressor and timer to built a mechanism which gonna push that switch instead of me. Life is so much easier…Oops. Humidifier. Right.
I guess I was happy mine autostarts! Dug out the manual after reading this thread. Carry on.
270$ Does it include RO system as well or is it just the float valve which makes it so special…?200 Pint Air Humidifier commercial Grade Fog Mist For Hydroponics Grow Room | eBay

I use a RAM humidifier but it’s only like 5L capacity and run it on my lighting timer.You will struggle to find any electrical item that will auto power on after the power is disconnected.
I must have got lucky on the dehumidifier. I had one in my shop that was not in use. It’s a digital and I have mine plugged into a inkbird for fine tuning mine at 60 RH. If it was on when the power cuts off or the inkbird cuts it off it continues when the power comes back on. Mine I think is a GENot the controllers...the humidifier itself. Most on the market, upon losing power require you to physically press a button to turn them back on.
6x12 room so I dont need a 400 dollar one. I did find this one which looks promising since it has analog controls instead of digital
I currently do use inkbirds, although I am almost done with my rasberry pi atmospheric controller and will switch to that in my flowering room. Never had a problem with inkbird products.
