Review on DAddario Humiditrak Bluetooth Humidity Temperature by Jeff Zamora

I have had a Taylor humidity sensor for a few years now. It taught me that the humidity in my Arizona home is typically 40 to 60 percent most of the time, so I don't need a D'Addario setup. But I bought a new acoustic, so I bought a D'Addario to put in my guitar case. I figured more data wouldn't hurt, and of course it's true. In the first few months I had problems syncing the sensor with the phone, especially the batteries were constantly running out. That's two weeks and everything. These are 2032 batteries as you see in the photo. I figured maybe I was just unlucky with a bad sensor and really, really wanted it to work...so I bought a second unit. The same problems. It got to the point that for the first time in my life I bought 2032 batteries in bulk just to feed this sensor - you can see the bulk packaging in the photo. I've never seen 2032 batteries used so hard. He burns her. Worse still, if you don't keep checking the app on your phone, you most likely won't notice that the low battery feature isn't working. So you don't get a notification that the sensor isn't working, even though the app has a "low battery" feature that never works. Not once has the low battery feature warned me that my device just stopped working. The sensor was fine for a few months, then it kept having trouble connecting to my phone via the app, and that's important because there's no other way of receiving a signal or interpreting the sensor's conditions - it based on the app/phone or nothing. This sensor is extremely expensive for what it is and doesn't inspire confidence - if you take it out of the box you'll know what I mean. It looks and feels like something bought cheaply from an unnamed Asian factory, which it probably is. No problem with that if it was quality, but it's not a quality device. I would say that if you have expensive acoustics you better not rely on it. Buy something else if you want a high quality and reliable humidity sensor. In the photo you can see which ones I rely on. I don't want to advertise any particular brand so I'm referring to the photo - I just want to warn people that this particular D'addario sensor is beyond bad - it just doesn't work. It can cost them fifty dollars and they take fifty dollars. For the same money there is much better gear to choose from if you shop around (and for a lot less money). The box it comes in may cost more than the sensor. Not a fair exchange of value for money from a brand I used to trust. Much luck. PS (The discrepancy in readings between the Taylor unit and the Oasis unit is due to the Oasis simply moving out of the guitar case and into the surrounding space.)
