Review on 🌡️ Inkbird ITH-20R Wireless Receiver Digital Hygrometer Thermometer - Accurate Temperature Display for House, Kitchen, Baby Room, Courtyard, Brewhouse, Public Places - Rainproof Function, Indoor/Outdoor Use by David Cronin

I bought the Inkbird ITH-20R-I because I thought I could put it in my basement. I live in Alabama and have a window air conditioner in my basement along with a dehumidifier. However, it's still very hot and muggy and I thought I might use this device to keep an eye on things. After playing around with it, I decided to leave it outside for now to monitor conditions there. All well packed in a small box. You need 2 AAA batteries for the receiver and 2 AAA batteries for the transmitter. The transmitter is rainproof so you will need to remove 4 screws and the back panel to insert the batteries. The kit includes a small screwdriver to remove the screws. After inserting 4 batteries, the devices turn on and automatically pair with each other and display the temperature and humidity without any further action. It takes a few minutes for the temperature sensors to settle down and start showing accurate readings. There are three sensors, one in the receiver/display unit, it shows the temperature and humidity inside. Another is located in the transmitter housing that displays the outside temperature and humidity. Optionally, you can connect the supplied external temperature sensor, with which you can control the additional outside temperature. I'm not entirely sure I'll find it useful, but I'm sure some people will. Maybe monitor the outside conditions plus the temperature in the chicken coop or something. On the display, the top line (outer) alternates between the internal sensor and the external sensor every 5 or 6 seconds. As you can see in the photo, I decided to compare this device (both indoor and outdoor sensors) along with the Inkbird humidor thermometer and hygrometer along with my Thermoworks ThermaQ thermometer. This pro-level device costs around $200 with fairly expensive sensors, so I thought it would be interesting to see how they compare. I have a dip and submersible probe on ThermaQ. As you can see Inkbird's gauges read 70.3 and 71, ThermaQ also read 70.3 and 71 on its two gauges. Inkbird shows the same humidity of 51% for both sensors. PROS* Very reasonable cost* Very easy to use* It just works MINUS* Button designations on the back of the receiver are not the same as in the user manual. However, they perform the same functions. * If you remove an external sensor, the display will continue to cycle every 5 or 6 seconds, attempting to show you the data for that sensor.
