it's a humidity controller/thermostat it does both off one probe, little spendy tho
No need for that with the right set up.
Just sayin'. Y'all can go as fancy and expensive as you like, but I prefer simple, easy and effective.

i'm not trying to go fancy or expensive i'm just having a hard time holding humidity lately, I've poured water in substrate i've check the enclosure for gaps i took out my window ac thinking that would do it but nothing helped i usually can hold at a steady 85% but now it won't hold very well
This tells me you have too much ventilation somewhere. Are your lights on top? Chimney effect?
I use a crane humidifier and it's adjustable, providing very little humidity or bellowing out. It doesn't hydro-regulate itself no, but I check on the levels periodically throughout the day and very rarely need to adjust it. 
I have moss (live and dry) and I moisten the soil sometimes. Live plants, water holes, and a partial lid. All of this keeps the enclosure at 85-95% humid.

i have a roof on and the lights are actually inside the enclosure to my knowledge there isn't any gaps i looked it over my top is drying out rather quickly so i'd suspect maybe i haven't added enough water yet?
like 6-7 inches maybe a little bit more
I use orchid bark in my closed chambers and the top level stays relatively dry (good for a RF), while the bottom layers is pretty damp.
If I laid a paper towel on top it would stay dry. If I dug down and laid the paper towel on the deeper layers it would be saturated. My humidity hovers around 80% day and night with ambient temps from 78 at night to 93 during a hot summer day.
