> 3 dayIf you’re here because you saw willy myco setting up a 5x5 tent, I URGE you to join a cultivation group and get real advice on how to set up a grow tent before you waste $600 dollars and weeks of your time. The problem with this sensor is that the plastic casing of the sensor allows moisture to bead up on its surface and stay there, falsely giving you a reading for near 90% humidity or even above. It’s not an easy fix because the only thing I’ve found to try and correct this issue is wiping the sensor casing down with a dry, sterilized towel twice a day. That’s really tedious considering everything else about my setup is fully automated and controlled from my iPhone. The fact that the sensor controls when the fogger comes on or cuts off is really the only reason to try to figure out a way to jerry rig this product, but as is it’s not really functional.

Greater than one weekI bought this device used it for about a year and the humidity sensor went bad. I reached out and they sent me a replacement sensor no questions. Talk about above and beyond! This device has been so useful in my mushroom growing. I used to run everything on timers and this made life so much easier. I’m a customer for life.

> 3 dayAdded this for my grow tent, easy to use and really helped control my humidity by automatically toggling my humidifier and dehumidifier. As someone mentioned make sure your units have a toggle switch not push button power or they device will not turn on when power is switched onto it. For the price its hard to beat, it was 3% off from my goove humidity monitor but you can adjust the calibration on the controller so it matches exactly what my other monitor says. Not sure which is correct but 3% isnt a deal breaker, the important this is you can adjust the controller to match any other humidity monitors you might already own.

> 3 dayThe ink bird humidity controller is very accurate right out of the box. Make sure you have a dehumidifier or humidifier with auto restart at set the values on the humidifier or dehumidifier much lower or higher then your target so the inkbird can completely manage it.. the one drawback is it doesn’t have dual day / night independent settings for absolute RH control which comes in handy to dial in your indoor grow environment but you can find a happy-medium and keep your VPN relatively in check. For the price this is the best out there for the home hobbiest level grower..commercially you would want to run a full environment controller or a humidity controller that lets you set humidity levels for day/night, to achieve this with this controller you would need two controllers on timers and 2 different dehumidifiers....

> 3 dayI bought this controller to use with a Honeywell wicking humidifier. My application is to maintain the humidity of a room where I keep my acoustic guitars. The target humidity range for guitars is pretty narrow (40-50%) and the humidity control on my Honeywell humidifier is not calibrated. This controller is really great, easy to use, and adds precision to an otherwise vague humidifier. In fact, you can also connect a dehumidifier to the other outlet and have even more control over your environment. I can now keep my guitars out of their cases on a stand, and the guitars all sound amazing now (with stable action and proper crowing of the soundboard).

> 3 dayI needed a way to control the humidity in my 3 x 3 grow tent. I bought this on March 14, and it works great for both humidification/dehumidification so far. You need to make sure that whatever devices you plug into it have on/off switches and not buttons: the unit powers whichever designated outlet is required to obtain the humidity set point. Only a device with a switch in the “on” position will turn back on when the outlet is energized. I was able to understand the directions, and I feel the humidity readings are pretty accurate. I order a lot on Amazon, and I’m very pleased with this purchase. If it holds up to the test of time, then it will definitely earn the 5 stars.

Greater than one weekIs it working? I have no idea. The settings are so unintuitive and the manual online is HORRIBLE. I hope so!
