Wireless Hygometer/Temp Unit

[tchariya]

I bought some at Fryes Electronics from LaCrosse Technologies.

It can read up to three additional remote wireless sensors + the one on the base.

It keeps track of the last 9999 readings, which you can download in a CSV and graph. I don't have the model number in front of me, but it is accurate to the 1% in RH.

Did I mention the one from LaCrosse was just $20???

That is for a sensor and base unit. The sensor has an individual LCD to read separate from the base unit. It is as if you were buying two!

I use this unit from UPM

I have a transmitter in each of my 2 fridges, and I'm getting a 3rd for my NC coolerdor. It's worked like a charm for the last 2 years, seems accurate and consistent and the displays are clear and easy to read.

I went to my Local Fry's Here and they have quite a few models there. I got this one

http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/8610ch/index.php

It comes with one Remote sensor. I'm salt testing it right now. I can't believe the Price $21 for the base station and one remote sensor is crazy. The model I got can hold up to 3200 readings from 1 sensor 2100 readings if you're using all three sensors. It comes with software and a cable to hook it up to your computer. You also can set alarms on the base unit to go off for min/max temp and min/max humidity. Quite good if I say so. Also I'm probalby going to have to buy another one because everywhere online that sells the Remote sensor which is model TX7U sells them for a minimum of $19 + shipping. Fry's price is great.

That is the exact model, but I got mine in all white!

It JUST registered with me... WTF. Why in hell would it be using a com port? Did they design the thing in 1989?

If I get one I guess I'll have to hack it for USB.

Let me double check the cable. I know on the base unit the connection looks like a phone jack, I didn't even bust the cable out of the package yet. I do have a USB cable tht emulates a serial port so I should be good. just the fact that from the unit itself you can check the Maximum and Minimum readings along with the average readings should be enough for most people. At $21 it's a steal. I'll let you know how accurate my remote unit is when I get back home tonight.

This looks like the way to go when getting into a coolerdor.

Yeah or if you have multiple humidors.

I just picked up one from Radio Shack. I think they are discontinued as I had to get the extra sensors from a different location and I took the last two. If you go to the store they can do a search and let you know if any in your area still have them in stock. Here is a pic...

the extra sensor is item# 63-1092 (these are 3.97 ea) Think I will check and pickk up a spare if any other stores around here has them. By the way I tested these with the Boveda calibration kit and all were spot on.

Cozy is that a Lacrosse unit? If so do the sensors look like this http://www.lacrossetechnology.com/tx7/index.php? If so for around $3.97 a sensor that beats the internets price of $20 each.

The sensor looks like the one in yazzie's post. Under 50 bucks for a complete set-up.
