    Most accurate hygrometer?

    Anybody know the most accurate hygrometer? (Especially if it's one that also functions as a controller.)

    Is herpstat the way to go for controllers?

    I'd originally been using the zoomed hygrotherm controller but I think it's starting to lose its mind. Like, it keeps my fogger on saying it's at like 50% humidity to the point where the substrate below the tube is thoroughly moist (the whole area around it is) and it just keeps going. Meanwhile, the analog one sitting in a different spot of the tank (that should be drier, really) is reading 70-80%.

    So I guess what's the most accurate meter and what's the best controller? I'm sad cause I just bought more of the zoomed ones and I think I won't be able to return them, and will have to spend more cash on herpstats.

    I like this one because it can be easily adjusted if you need to. I do a salt test every 6 months or so to make sure it's still accurate.
