Review on Goabroa Hygrometer Thermometer Temperature Fahrenheit by Travis Filippi

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The humidity sensor is off, but it can still be accurate if you know how far away it is.

The only problem with his pressure gauge is that the moisture reading is off by 8 points. I mean, it still works, it's still accurate, so in my case you only need to subtract 8 points from the reading to get the correct moisture reading. It works, but it's annoying. I bought another cheap one from another company and it differs in only one point so I use it. Instead of returning it for a whopping $6, I just keep it and use it as a backup. Just make sure you do a salt test before assuming this sensor is reading the correct humidity level. Take a plastic bottle cap and fill it 3/4 full with table salt. Then add some water to the salt. You want the saltwater mixture to be a really thick sediment, so it only takes a few drops of water. Then put the cap of the salt bottle and humidity sensor in a small zippered bag and close it. Let it steep for at least 12 hours, trying to bring the room temperature up to 70 degrees. So maybe put it outside at night when it's chilly. The humidity of salt locked in a small bag always stabilizes at 75%. So check what your sensor reads after 12 hours. If 75% is displayed, the sensor is normal. But if not as an example, let's assume he reads 80%. Now you know it shows 5 points more than intended, so just subtract 5 percentage points every time you use the sensor. My sensor read 83% when I didn't do a salt test, so now I know it's 8 points higher, so I just subtract 8 points to get the correct moisture level.
