> 3 dayI was battling high humidity in my flower tent so I got this little gem. Super simple to operate, and it has controlled the humidity within 10% of the set point. If the plants are happy I’m happy, and the plants are happy.

> 3 dayNo real complaints, some of the abbreviations in the LED display could be clearer, I have to look up till I memorize but otherwise does the job. I have to say the sensor is very responsive, as soon as I open the door to the terrarium it immediately sense is a change in humidity and activates the humidifier connected to it

> 3 dayIf you’re here because you saw willy myco setting up a 5x5 tent, I URGE you to join a cultivation group and get real advice on how to set up a grow tent before you waste $600 dollars and weeks of your time. The problem with this sensor is that the plastic casing of the sensor allows moisture to bead up on its surface and stay there, falsely giving you a reading for near 90% humidity or even above. It’s not an easy fix because the only thing I’ve found to try and correct this issue is wiping the sensor casing down with a dry, sterilized towel twice a day. That’s really tedious considering everything else about my setup is fully automated and controlled from my iPhone. The fact that the sensor controls when the fogger comes on or cuts off is really the only reason to try to figure out a way to jerry rig this product, but as is it’s not really functional.

> 3 dayIs it working? I have no idea. The settings are so unintuitive and the manual online is HORRIBLE. I hope so!

> 3 dayHaving this and a good humidifier and de-humidifier are an absolute key to consistently high-yielding grows. Get one, it’s worth it.

> 3 dayFor years Ive been disgruntled at purchased de-humidifiers and their lousy humidity control. The sensors in these products are sloppy at best and often fail over time. The key to this controllers effectiveness is the very accurate sensor itself, the rest is just common sense digital control. The available options and settings for controlling the dehumidifier are top shelf! This also works with humidifiers so am looking forward to doing some testing this winter. I FINALLY know exactly what the humidity level is in my basement and rest assured my power consumption to maintain my desired humidity is minimized. (you can even calibrate this controller if you have a known good dry bulb kit or similar) Yes, the set-up is somewhat confusing, but if you have a basic understanding of humidity and hysteresis settings, its a breeze, and easily adjustable at any time you desire. For the price, this is an amazing control, and I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting better humidity control in any environment. Ive had it running for a month now 24/7 with no problems.

> 3 dayAs stated is decent, need to calibrate initially, do not rely on it being remotely close. And check calibration every couple months as it does drift out of calibration.

> 3 dayI had to look up written instructions on google, and also youtube has a video guide on how to set humidity and dehumidifier ranges. Now this thing controls my humidity proper. I didnt have a dehumidifier so i used a fan to kick on to help exhaust humidity out of my grow area. Works great along with govee wifi bluetooth monitor.

> 3 dayI use this to control the humidity in my snake tank after my girlfriend accidentally set the humidity too high and I came home to a very wet tank!! :O The accuracy seems very good as I have 3 other humidity sensors in the tank and the read almost exactly what this device reads. I only use it to turn on and off the humidifier, and I do not have a dehumidifier device attached. It works great. I expect that this device will cause the life of my humidifier to be significantly less because it is turning on and off, BUT this is expected with electronics. The more you turn on and off things, the less life they have. None the less, my snakes health is most important so I love this so I know her humidity is perfect. I will update if the product dies but so far it is running great!
