My dehumidifiers had a humidity control knob. I would expect you could
just adjust that knob to the point where the only came on a few times a
day. You might have to change it seasonally, but this adjustment means
you don't have to open the case.

<p>The dehumidifier doesn't have this feature, and has a power
on/off button that must be pressed to turn it back on if power
is cut or it's turned off. <span style="font-size: 12pt;">So I
can't just put it on a regular timer like a light switch. I

<p>Perhaps opening it up and bypassing the power switch would
work, though I'm wondering if dehumidifiers need a "soft
start" type of power switch in order to prevent any damage if
powered on suddenly. It's also under an extended warranty so
I'm hesitant to "mod" it and void the warranty.</p>
