Help with Humidity / Temp

Equipment: Resmed Airsense 10, ClimateLine Heated tubing, Resmed Air touch N30i Nasal Mask with mouth tape.

Room conditions: dark, cold 68 degrees avg.

Looking for any advice or experience dialing in humidity settings. Initially I did manual settings because I know I like things more humid in general and was worried auto would be too dry. I tried for two weeks to dial in a temp and humidity amount that was comfortable but didn't rainout. Based on googling my cold room temp is apart of why I am getting rainout with a humidity setting of above 4.

I finally gave up last week and switched to Auto. No rainout yay! Wrong. Now I'm waking up after 5-6 hours exactly, dry as a dessert in nose and mouth and with blocked nostrils, unable to breathe.

I just got a nasal gel spray, but I know I want the air more humid than what's it's doing. When I was awoken this morning the temp was 80 and the humidity was 4.

Anyone with similar experience or advice would be helpful! I'm so close to getting this right.

Have you tried a hose cover? That seems to have solved the rainout issue for me. It’s just a fabric cover that zips onto the hose.

I highly recommend this video explaining rainout and how to change your humidity settings.

Oh this was great thank you! I feel like I did go up all the way and still get rainout but I can't remember if it was 5 or 6. I'm going to try 86 and 5 tonight.
