Hello everyone,
I wanted to start a topic on temperature and humidity meters. I think it is an under-reported subject. I know when it comes to sensors you can get manual and digital ones. Then you can get high precision and budget ones.
I've seen some people say that budget ones are not worth it - maybe but I think this century sensors have become better than they used to be and cheaper. The high precision ones will always be very expensive.
I started as probably many did with a thermopro monitor like this one
Amazon.com
but after owning it and comparing it to others I have decided it is the slowest to react to changes and the most inaccurate sensor I have.
I have tried these
Amazon.com
they are very good value and accurate but they are rather small and don't have a max -min storage
the best one I have tried and wanted to share with you today is this one
Amazon.com
It has max-min values, a very sharp display, seems accurate and responsive to changes, my favourite budget monitor I have tried so far.
I'm not affiliated with any of these, I just thought I'd share my findings since I know lots trust the number 1 best seller which to me is the most inaccurate one and it is hard to know out of the other 1000's of chinese brands which ones to trust.
I cannot comment on how they would last with water or very high humidity. I've heard people break theirs if they get them wet too much which I suppose can be an issue with any sensor and maybe a manual one would be better suited.
The manual ones can be more reliable than the digital ones and don't use any batteries so there is plenty of good choices but also plenty of bad ones out there.
I recently tried a weather station that had all unnneeded additional features, barometer, alarm, usb phone charger and an animated screen but the sensors were rubbish which to me is the most important, some people just want something nice to look at since it only had glowing reviews.
Hope this helps someone.
Happy growing.
