Cigars/Unstable humidity

Question
I was wondering what I could do to stabilize the humidity in my humidor. In the after noon it reaches 70% humidity but in through the night and early morning it drops to 60%.
Don't open it so much, however humidity should stabilize quickly with proper humidification.
Temperature can effect humidity as the temperature drops humidity should rise so do you run the heat at night which also dries the air?
If you heat the house to 75 degrees at night the humidity should drop naturally.
In my experience though a Boveda packet 72% placed on the cigars along with your hanging humidification will bring up humidity and stabilize the cigars.
