I am thinking from some about a project where I can have fun applying and learning how to optimize a PID controller. My humidifier has manual output control that I can (with some hacking) hook it up to an output of the PID. This seem to me more gentle approach than using 0.1Hz PWN like in sous-vide machine. This is fine for a heater and humidifier may not survive too long if I pulse it on/off every 10 seconds.

The point is that the links are fantastic read and really inspiring where else I can go with this project – thank you!

The 10 seconds it totally arbitrary and just defined in the code. infact for my sousvide you can adjust it, say you used a solid state relay you can shorten it. Also There is also a minimum on time parameter, so you can avoid short on cycles.

you could have the window set to 10min, with a minimum on time of 30 seconds.. I don't see what that would not work, with tuning of course.
