Any body have any luck with these (Zilla thermometer hygrometers)? I'm looking for some different readers and these looked pretty shnazzy. I wanted to go back to exo teras version however the readings I got from them in the past were pretty off. Any body have experience with readers that can take heavy humidity saturation? What does every body use for there setups?
I used two other types of hygrometers to test the readouts. ET's thermometers work on point however when I tested the readout with the hygrometer it would be up to 10-15% off. I tested with cigar Hygrometers for humidors. You can calibrate them yourself to make sure they are reading precisely, However, they didn't hold up when I tried using them in the actual terrariums. I had tested the ET on the combination Thermometer + Hygrometer, so I'm not sure if the single Hygrometer is better than their combo unit.
I use this brand with no problems at all. Occasionally I will put an analog in also just to see if they read the same and they do.

There is a free way of calibrating your hygrometers. I do this monthly, only because I need to resupply. If you have a high end cigar shop in your area, they normally have walk in humidors. I have several in my area that do. And these are controlled by state of the art controllers to keep humidity at a constant 70%. I take at least one hygrometer with my when I go to buy cigars and I window shop for a bit while my hygrometers level out. Of course, then I make my purchase and leave. Just take your hygrometers with you, do a little window shopping and split. Free calibrations

Found this: exo-terra thermometer/hygrometer, any good? ... I don't remember my ET digital hygrometer having a calibration option
