In cold climates, indoor humidity needs to be lowered before a deep freeze hits. Most smart thermostats and humidistats react only to the current outdoor temperature (or an outdoor sensor), which can be too late during sudden overnight cold snaps.

I built a small web tool looks at the coldest temperature expected over the next 72 hours and recommends a safe indoor humidity level. The idea is to make humidity control predictive rather than reactive, helping reduce window frost and hidden condensation. It’s manual by design — you check it every couple of days and adjust your humidistat if needed.

Built after running into this issue myself in Alberta, where temperatures can swing quickly.

Feedback welcome. This is my first React Native web project.
