I have several.  one is bigger, back lit screen, with both inside and remote outside temp and humidity.  another is just remote temp and humidity.  I will get out and get numbers and pics.  later.  bought some at WM, and some on amazon.

I found the bigger one that I use in my container on amazon.  the remote is in my container 100+ feet away.  the station is inside my shop.  # 00592A4  at $19.98

got a pic in my shop.  the top numbers are in the container, with the remote sensor.  the date and time are off I see.  back lit if needed, and daily high and lows are stored for 24 hours and accessed by pushing buttons at the bottom.  you could record everything once a day.  the bottom number are inside my shop.



 



 

I have used this one for about 2 years.  the cheaper ones are no longer on shelves at WM, and did not see them online.  I used to put the remote under plastic if a did a simple solar kiln, and also in my beer cooler so I could glance at it without opening up a door, and know if I had a refrigeration failure.

Keep in mind that around 6% RH change is 1% MC change.  So, extremely accurate RH measurement is not needed.

and... the MC of the wood takes time so the MC is determined by the RH average over time.  If it was fast, we could dry wood in one day.
