Good idea and it works!
Rather than buying an overpriced humidifier with a built-in humidistat that doesn't work, I opted for this. The built-in humidistat, NEVER works, and it's been my experience and that of others. Simply state, it is a poor engineering decision because the device can never get an accurate measurement of humidity if it is so close to the source, yet the stupid manufacturers keep on doing it, merely to jack up the price, and the end users have the common complaint of the humidifier having only two states: either on all the time or off all the time.
This one solves the problem. It comes out of the factory quite accurate. I checked it against a couple of hygrometers I trust, and when I placed them at exactly the same spot, the measurement of this device was spot on.
Couple of tips I give other users:
1) Relative humidity measurement can be affected significantly by the position of the measurement device in the room. That's not only because humidity distribution may...
It works well but can't be calibrated
Pros:
It works well. It keeps your plug-in humidifier or vaporizer running until the room humidity reaches whatever percent you set.
Cons:
-There is no way to calibrate it. However, this can be overcome by testing it and then adding or subtracting the difference when setting what humidity you want. On arrival mine was only a couple of percentage points higher than my properly calibrated hygrometer.
-It needs to be placed about half way up to the ceiling and away from anything producing heat in order to get a good reading.
good product
i have two legs of prosciutto hanging in a spare bedroom and i use this product in junction with a small fan and a humidfier(both on a power strip plugged into the humidistat) set at 65% humidity and it works great- very simple and easy to use
