Fixing the Humidity Sensor

Posted on July 8, 2024July 17, 2024

In my previous set up, I had initially bought a monitor with a corded sensor.  Cord or not, the monitor itself I came to learn was horribly inaccurate.  It took purchasing a bunch of other monitors to compare and find this out and no doubt it contributed to some over humidified oysters I lost last year before I had to pack it all up because of the intense summer heat.  About the only thing it did correctly was sync to my phone app with alarms.

This time, with the new tent setup, I am determined to find a more accurate monitor.  After some research, I settled on the Govee monitor that has all the same wifi, app, alarm functions but is supposed to be highly more accurate.  I specifically was leaning toward a closed monitor as I’ve seen the humidity destroy others.  I left it in with the previous monitor and saw what a failure the previous monitor was.  The Govee so far has held up when I use other monitors to check it!
