Aloha....I was looking at these last week but did not pull the trigger due to concerns over the size of the sensor. In your opinion are the sensors on this unit too big for desktop humis?Read my post #3 in this thread from last week. I look at my Ambient weather station too many times during the day than I care to admit!?! LOL

And yes, you simply get a calibration kit and calibrate the Ambient weather sensors to 75%. The only reason I bought them is because they can be calibrated.
Thanks...That pretty much confirms what I was thinking. I have 3 smaller desktops and a coolidor so I'm going to stick with what I have for now. Once I slide a little further down the slippery slope though and need to go larger I will definitely be going in this direction.Depends on what size of desktop you are talking about. If it's just a 50 or 100 count, I probably wouldn't put one of these sensors in there. If it's a larger chest, I wouldn't have a problem doing so. Just off the top of my head, the sensors are probably 3" long by 1" wide.
I have a small 50-ct desktop where I simply had beads in there and could really care less about a hygrometer because I know the beads kept it rock solid. But it sure is nice having a readout on my desk showing me the Rh/temp for 3 sensors! I think it would be pretty nice having one in a couple coolers and a decent size desktop just to see what's going on without having to open them up. So it's totally a personal preference call...
