I bought one of these off of Amazon. There are a ton of Chinese made versions of this available. I don't know if any are better or worse. I got the single remote sensor version. The screen itself is a sensor and then one remote sensor. It seems fairly accurate. I "calibrated" it with a Boveda cigar humidor hygrometer calibration bag. There is no adjustment on the sensor. Just get a reading for how far off it might be.

However! : The Boveda bag guarantees 75% humidity. The temperature never agreed between the screen and sensor but the remote sensor seems to be accurate for humidity and within half a degree temp at various places around the house. It definitely took more than 24hrs for the sensor to stabilize in the bag but eventually was accurate.

@Boveda - Been a while since I enjoyed a cigar but I remembered your calibration bags. Looking forward to trying your new ventures in cannabis products.

This is awesome & a very timely post!! Hygrometers should be calibrated yearly & can be done with a tupperware container and a salt water paste. There are several videos on youtube. Our calibration kits are quick, handy, and mess free though.

In this case, patience & your trust in science paid off. Great to hear.

Have you got a link of where to buy Boveda calibration kits?
European buyer here that don't want to mess with salt :-)
