I have been using several Hygro meters, of the round type. Although I have bought several at different vendors, they all break down. Especially the LCD screen often malfunctions by dead segments.
Here’s the round type of hygrometer I refer to:
My question:
Who can recommend a reliable hygrometer, preferably also round?
Please share a weblink if you recommend one.
Have you bought the Circular Digital Thermometer Hygrometer Bambu Lab sells, it looks like what you’re showing. Mine is setting above my printer on a shelf and has been working non stop with no issues since buying it. I’m assuming you’ve tried changing the little batteries in them when they start having problems? How long have your’s worked before having issues?
I’ve always found that losing segments in these hygrometers meant it was time for a battery change. On the rare occurrence that that didn’t fix it, a quick clean of the lcd zebra strip and circuit board solved the issue.
Not round, but Zigbee temperature/humidity sensors fit nicely in the AMS as they are pretty small and you can view the status on your smartphone.
I use the round version of the Zigbee ones. I’ve gotten them as cheap as $9 each on Aliexpress but currently you can get them for $12.
Zebedee, such a beloved character from the children’s tv show magic roundabout.
I just pulled it up on Youtube and it’s pretty awesome. It reminds me of all those stop motion Rankin/Bass specials.
Imagine watching this as a child.
Then, imagine watching this on drugs in your early twenties, it must have an entirely new meaning.
