Near perfect thermometer/areometer

Before I review this product in detail, I must mention one important piece of information about this device. .This device reads the room temperature in a very bizarre way. When the device needs to update the displayed temperature, it does so in two-step increments. This means that if the room temperature used to be 71 degrees Fahrenheit and the device is updated, it will most likely show 73 Fahrenheit and not 72 Fahrenheit. While this isn't the biggest drawback in the world, it does make the temperature inaccurate. When I use this product I compare the temperature to a nearby thermostat, it almost always shows up as one of the temperatures on the thermostat. However, sometimes the temperature updates properly and increases by one digit as intended. Although in most cases growth will resume briefly around two. The areometer is not influenced in any way by this. It updates correctly. This only seems to affect the room temperature sensor. This shortcoming automatically reduces the product by one star. It's really a shame. That anomaly aside, which seems to affect almost everyone, it's fairly precise and accurate, even compared to thermometers and hydrometers. It's accurate and doesn't deviate much at all, which makes it perfectly usable for everyday use, as long as the temperature sensor was also accurate. Low data for the day resets at the time you insert the battery into the device. If you insert the battery at 12:00, the high and low data will be reset at 12:00. If you don't want it to reset during the day, you'll need to put the battery in either before bed or later during the day. Annoying but to be expected. "Trying to adjust it could result in it falling. - Arrows indicating if current humidity and temperature trends are useless. Not because they don't work, but because they're pretty small. You hardly notice them. If the temperature display wasn't so weird, this would be a thermometer and hydrometer for everyday use. It's really good for the price. Consider this product if you can't find another temperature/hydrometer sensor that suits your preferences.
