    Acurite temp/humidity device

    I currently have an analog humidity device. I heard the accuracy of analog devices can vary quite a bit.

    I was thinking of getting a couple Acurite temp/humidity devices.

    Has anyone used these? Are they accurate?

    Re: Acurite temp/humidity device

    I agree with Holtgards. The one from Walmart he mentioned works good. I use them in all my enclosures. It has indoor/outdoor temp so I put the unit on the cool side and the probe on the hot side. Plus it measures humidity accurately. Just be careful of the adhesive pad on the remote probe. I remove the entire pad so I do not have to worry about it accidentally getting stuck to one of my snakes.

    I use the one mentioned by OP and it's only off by -4% so I trust it pretty well.

    2 AA batteries in each. This is their 30ish dollar model. Also has a battery strength indicator and the current rising/lowering trend of each value.
