Hi

A multi mode resonant cavity is probably the “easy” approach. Like the waveguide, it is 
pressure / temperature / humidity sensitive. The same “can I separate the 
effects” issue applies.

Any enclosed device will have issues with properly representing the humidity in the room. 
It’s fortunate that the control goal is 50%+/- 30%. Fancy monitors are not required ...
