Wireless Hygometer/Temp Unit

So I got one of these La Crosse units based on the good reviews they have in this thread. It was incredibly inaccurate, there was a 10-6% difference in the actual RH and RH the La Crosse unit registered.

I spoke with the La Crosse tech people who said that was an acceptable margin of error. I explained that it was not, and asked if they made any accurate products. After getting the company line for 10 minutes on how +-7 was accurate I asked for a supervisor, and then another supervisor until someone finally admitted that they do not make anything with an accuracy > +7/-7.

I returned the unit to the retailer and I will not be doing business with La Crosse in the future.

I'm sorry to hear about that. I assume since these are meant more for keeping track of weather they may find that +/- 7% as tolerable in the case of a humidor you want it to be on. I know thta's why we usually salt test to find out how much it's off by. Mine is about 1% off.

Hey I was searching for units that actually integrate with your computer and came across this.

Of course being from Hart Scientific it won't be cheap, but for guys who have thousands invested in cigars this would be great being able to monitor your cigars from anywhere you got a net connection.

I have been into weather for a long time and used Oregon Scientific products for a long time and they are always great. There are many companies out the but they would get my vote.
