[stinkytofus]

looking at amazon there is $10-14 for acurite and thermo pro and the 16.99 one for like 12 packs offbrand

I personally have an acurite for my infant kid and it works great

I use this one.

I enjoy a nice collection of cigars (about 500 or so right now). I partake a couple times a week.

This may be overkill for what you’re looking for, but i use this in my large humidor and it works excellent. I have had it for 2 years and i have only changed the battery once. Works fantastic. Easy to use and setup.

If you’re looking for something more simple, the Xicar ones are nice.

You'll need a ZigBee hub, but you can set up automations around them. I use them for loads of uses but have some in my jars too. Much better than the Bluetooth alternatives ime, but as I say I use them for multiple purposes.

I have a few Govee hygrometers (different model) for my grow room and curing jars. I like that I can download the info to track changes. I highly recommend.

any extra costs post purchase ?

No. The phone app is free and so is the account. It is pretty much plug and play. Other people i know have it as well and it works great.

I have multiple things from govee. They work well and integrate well.

before I order, are they accurate ?

 

[Madtater]

VERY.

I tested it with a 75% bovida pack in a zip loc bag.

Was right on the money.

From the Amazon link:
“ Accuracy: With a built-in Swiss-made sensor, the temperature is accurate to ±0.54°F and humidity is ±3%RH. Enjoy precise data from the hygrometer thermometer every 2 seconds.”

Plus or minus 3% is pretty standard for consumer hygrometers. Some of the cheaper ones are +/- 5%. Some you can adjust the reading after testing.

The govee one was good rootb

I sealed one Govee at a time in a Ball jar with 62% Boveda packs for 24 hours. Then in the free app, adjusted the “offset” to match. I’m using (8) of them in various airtight containers.
