Keeps my orchid collection happy!
I have two of these in use in my orchid growing area to monitor temperature and humidity. The units are in opposite corners but are in close agreement with each other (some variability expected due to size of area and air movement, etc.). They have helped me improve health of my plants.

A very reliable thermometer
Works like a charm. It replaces our old mercury thermometer which was hard to read especially in the evening and during the winter.

Probe / Temperature / Humidity
It would be fantastic if the probe displayed both temperature and humidity. I make various ages meets, salami, etc. It would work extremely well if it had that capability.

Temp on bottom
Works great but from a design standpoint my expectation is the temperature should be on top.

Nice big numbers
The numbers are easy to read and works great for indoors. The outdoor probe is nice, but you need a hole to put it through and doesn't work well with storm windows. It would be nice to have a probe that works remotely.

Great but without legible instructions.
It works fine but I could not get started because the text giving directions is in such small print and in white on a shiny silver background so it is very difficult to read. Impossible for me. I had to call to be told how to make it work, which was ridiculously easy, but without instructions was not easy at all. Since I did not need any alarms, I just did the following.
1. Removed the plastic cover.
2. pressed the F/C button in back to select Fahrenheit.
3. pressed the power button in the center of the front.
4. inserted the probe and waited for the temp and humidity to register correctly.

Hydrometer is not in the probe
There is only one hygrometer, and it's not in the probe, but in the base unit. There are two thermometers, one in the unit and one in the probe.

25 Questions
Why did you choose this?

It's practical.

Setting it up at my home

Need it for my onsen.

I have one and like it so much that I purchased 2 more as gifts.

Would this item function well in a cigar humidor? It seems very difficult to find a hygrometer that functions well in a cigar humidor.

I was just thinking this would be perfect for the tall cabinet humidor I’m planning to build in the not too distant future. I absolutely trust the Thermo Works brand!

Could I use this in an egg incubator? We have had the worst luck with inaccurate units from other makers.

In general, nothing about an incubator would be problematic, as long as you use the Thermo Hygrometer (RT817E) within temperature and humidity guidelines within a non-condensing environment. We recommend that you speak with our Technical Sales team if you have additional questions. You may contact them by emailing sales@thermoworks.com or by calling 1-800-393-6434.

Does the remote probe of the thermo-hygrometer show only temperature, or does it also monitor humidity remotely? Wondering if this would be effective to sit on top of a gun safe and use the wire to remotely monitor the interior temp and humidity.

The remote only displays the temperature data. The device itself displays both the temperature and humidity data.

Can I use the thermo-hygrometer without the external probe? I only need to measure temperature and humidity where I place the unit.

Yes. The probe is typically used as an ice-point alert or for outdoor temperature. If that is not needed, the probe does not need to be plugged in for the base unit to operate properly.

Is it OK to leave the unit on all the time? Why an on-off button?

Yes, it is alright to leave the unit on all of the time. It includes an On/Off button as some people only want to temporarily take measurements.

One example: While on a RV vacation, you may want to measure the temperature outside while you are parked in a high-altitude campground (as it may get very cold there), while also measuring the humidity temperatures inside the RV while running your propane heater (which generates a lot of humidity). Before you move your RV to a new location, you'll want to turn off the unit and bring the temperature probe inside.

I'm looking to cure my own meats for charcuterie, would this be an ideal sensor that can be placed in a wine chiller or refrigerator? If not, which would be better suited?

Many customers have used the Thermo Hygrometer (RT817E) in this manner. Just make sure you keep it within the temperature range as follows:
Indoor: 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C)
Outdoor: -58 to 158°F (-50 to 70°C)

How are users getting the probe outside as it is not remote?
Do you have to drill a hole or?

I ran the cable out a window, between the window frame and window (just closed the window on top of the cable). Then I connected the probe mount to the outside wall of my house. Works just fine.

Is the temp & humidity adjustable to allow for it's age over time?

The calibration is not adjustable. To keep it reading accurately, we recommend keeping the sensor area clean and free of dust buildup.

Can I attach a magnet to the back of this for mounting onto a fridge or will that interfere with how this unit functions?

Attaching a magnet to the back of this device will not affect the function at all.

Is this unit NIST traceable?

Hi Trey,

The Thermo Hygrometer is not NIST Traceable. If you are looking for something that can measure both temperature and humidity with NIST Traceability, I would recommend taking a look at our RH SPOT™.

The RH SPOT™ can be found at: https://www.thermoworks.com/rh-spot/

If you are looking for something in particular, feel free to give us a call at 800.393.6434. We are happy to help find the best product for your needs.
