I wish video for every industry were this good. I'll be measuring indoor air humidity for a chronic lung issue and I'm super thankful for this clear and frank review!
My Govee H5074 was $10.99 on Amazon, I tested for 2 days with a 75% Boveda calibration kit. Per Boveda's documentation the kit is actually 75.5% and the Govee was EXACTLY 75.5% I also cross checked this with an Oasis Caliber IV hydrometer. Govee temperature is low by 3 tents of a degree (0.3) Impressive.
Here's a trick if you want the SensorPush: buy used. They're cheap and plentiful. I have a 4 of them all bought from eBay around my house. They're perfect.
I have inkbird, govee, thermoPro and sensorpush, but often have problems. Among them, I like inkbird's IBS-TH5, which is cute, smart and accurate, with an ink screen and weather display. A little more expensive, but very reassuring!
I was very disappointed with Boveda Butler. I calibrated as instructed but always SIGNIFICANTLY higher reading than actual RH. Good concept that doesn’t work. Don’t get it! Called Boveda for help/replacement but would not help.
If you have a spare android or iOS device that can run the Boveda app - you could use that as a bridge to upload the sensor data into the cloud and monitor it from all over the world. I guess one can find a cheap android phone/tablet for around 100 bucks to do the trick. Don't know if Boveda added this software feature after this video was made - but it's possible by now. Not to blame halfwheel by any means - just a little tidbit of information ;)
If I'm a slave to the machine, Boveda loses already. I have data since the moment we put the SensorPush units in. If a person's time has value, the SensorPush is the clear winner. Wherever I am, I can check what's going on with the units. We have several, and they are the clear winner.

Bought the Boveda based on your recommendation. Thanks

I'm wondering if I could use Roku or a firestick to download the app. Any thoughts?
No Calibration tests?
Thanks for the great review buddy 🤗
where you find it for $20? it’s $40 everywhere I see it. Thanks for the review
I believe Boveda has changed the price. - CM.

Can you export the data for either of these into a CSV or a spreadsheet?
sensorpush ht.w has "export to CSV"
Which is better in terms of accuracy with your experience?
They both have operating ranges, so no specific tool for uber accurate RHs. The Boveda is also no longer for sale. - CM.
@@Halfwheel Do you happen to know why, or if they plan on releasing something new?
Isn't it a wonder then how everybody today are all so darned personable
My Boveda readings jump all over the place. Really not impressed
I think you need to allow the settings to adjust after accessing the app
I hope people realise that after the automated 75% one step calibration, the unit self-adjusts itself.
Boveda doesn't even sell this product anymore.
Algorithm
bluetooth? Cloud?
How about a 5 euro hygrometer from Amazon? Jesus.
