These have to be the least accurate things I have ever seen.

The rectangular one is accurate or accurate enough and has been what I used but I noticed files all had cutouts for these round hygrometers…

Well from my 6 pack 1 is within a margin of error to even be useful.

I get they aren’t expensive but seems like a waste of money for this bad.

    because if it says anything other than 10% (the lowest thing it reads), then the dessicant needs to be refreshed.

    it’s more of a binary output rather than trying to look at 53 vs 55%

      You get your humidity down to less than 10%? Or still literally treating it like a binary thing and it’s just reading way under real?

      I am at about 25% relative humidity and it’s showing as a 1 in the ams sensor so 10% seems impressive even though I’m not using much desiccant.

        I’ve pretty much been running on the binary theory with the AMS sensor: anything but a 1 is too high. I guess I’m glad I didn’t waste any money on those digital jobbies. I wonder if the old school analog style are better?
