Greater than one weekThe 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 love my humidity controller. It works perfectly for maintaining the perfect humidity in my terrarium. I’ve tested it against other Hygrometers, and it’s pretty accurate, plus you can tune it. Recently used it to run a room humidifier, to increase the humidity in the bedroom at night. The possibilities are endless! I wish it had some smart integration, I would like to see a historical graph over time. Also, disabling the Alarm for high or low Humidity would be nice as well.

> 3 dayDoes not work the best to measure humidity unless calibrated somewhat often & for sure not as user-friendly as advertised. It helps to watch youtube videos and third-party materials to figure out usage.

> 3 dayIve been using this to control an evaporative cooler that Im using to humidify a room. There have been no problems for more than a year and it is still accurate, within a few points when compared with readings from a psychrometer. So for, it seems to be much more reliable than several of their thermostats that failed within a few months.

> 3 dayI keep an acoustic instrument room humidified with an industrial humidifier plumbed in. This was an excellent solution to having the fan in the humidifier run all the time. Great product ! Wish you could run another appliance off of it at the same time

> 3 dayI bought this to cycle my console humidifier because the onboard humidistat failed. I used the calibration to roughly calibrate the unit. I keep gauges throughout the house so the actual set point is a reference setting but it is still real close in the end. Keeps the humidity within 1% to 2% in my application and environment. I purchased a second for my dehumidifier in the basement to be used in the summer months. If these continue to work without failure I will upgrade to 5 stars because they do work.

Greater than one weekThis device functions well, but I use it to sense humidity in a terrarium and pump in a humidifier when it dips too low. The plants I grow love high humidity, so its not an issue if the humidity reaches 100%. Unfortunately the device has a panic attack when this happens, and will sound an alarm any time it gets that high. (The minimum setting for the alarm maxes out at 100%, with no option to have it off). There is no way to tell this device not to sound the alarm, and its annoying as hell to have this thing occasionally go off after misting the tank.

> 3 dayI have had two of these. They worked really well during the time they actually worked. The first one lasted 5 months, the 2nd one lasted 4 months. So they both stopped working with the same issue. So the problem I ran into both times is, it will not disable the power once the humidity level that is programmed is reached. It still reads the correct humidity level as it climbs and climbs. It will even sound the alarm that was programmed to go off at a certain value. But it will no longer cut power like it used to at the set threshold.

> 3 dayThe sensor’s micro plug interface is not protected from moisture or high humidity 75%+ The connection will oxidize eventually “5 months” and this will cause malfunction. It is to small even for most experienced electronics experts to solder directly and I can’t find replacements. The controller module portion is great and seems well made easy to program after you figure out what the poor translation is saying.
