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.

    I’d really love to know how, once having purchased and aquired these two parts, how to join them, and get them powered, and to display. this is like secret engineering knowledge i’d love to be walked through

      @[email protected] I have about $150 worth of Ali parts and components coming just this month for whole house monitoring for this kinda thing - temp, humidity, CO2, VOCs, pressure, light sensors etc. Would be glad to ping y’all once that writeup is done :)

      LOL same. And this is why I bought bad tech. It’s a whole wild world if you can actually take electronic components and just wire them together and program them yourself.

        You might just end up spending all your time doing that, though.

        Good times.

        I’ve been through all the junk Amazon hygrometers, name brands, no name, all junk. How has your experience been with the inkbird ITH10? I hope abe writes up a walkthrough for the DHT11/22 and ESP8266/32 setup, it’d be neat to order from Ali and work something up.

          Just bought them after the realization of this. I will try to make sure I let you know as I found a really good deal that I’d be happy to share as well if they are good as long as you are fine with used.
