Cheap Digital Hygrometer

[Island Epicurean]

Hello All;

I just discovered a really good alternative to the $20 digital hygrometer. All you have to do is visit your local Wal-Mart and buy a good indoor digital Hygrometer/Thermometer combo for about $10. After doing some checking around I discovered that the tolerences for the Wal-Mart versions were actually better than the cigar store versions! Plus you can get them with cool features like clocks, High/low monitors, automatic indiglo faces, etc. Check them out.

Hey guys,
I found a combo thermo-hygrometer at my local Target, with a remote transmitter $30.
The device has two hygros and one works wierlessly and reports to the larger main.
This means you can have a readout of your temp and humidity without opening your humi.
Unless you place the main reciever in your larger humi then you can check both humidities while only opening on box.

What section of the store(s) are you guys finding these? I visited my local Wal-Mart yesterday and couldn't find these, although I will admit I was a little hurried. Help?

Go to the hardware area of the store and look for outdoor thermometers, rain gauges, etc. Some Wal-Marts put bird feeders there too. That's where you should find the digital hygros.

Did you get the Oregon Scientific? I have one of those I picked up at Target for $26 and is accurate within 1%. It's running at -1% actually.

Grandcru2,
That is indeed the one I purchased. I wanted to get a second remote sensor but it's going to cost me at least $25 and... no way I'm payng that.
