Before putting it in the cooler, I wanted to do the salt test to see how accurate it was. After 14 hours it showed a reading of 70% humidity where an accurate hygrometer should read 75%. I contacted Honeywell and they said, "The humidity accuracy of our instruments is +/- 5%-7%, so your unit performs within stated specifications." I only wish they would have that listed on the specs because I would not have purchased it. Other than the less than ideal accuracy, it is a very nice device.
Humidity is really kind of an odd thing to measure. As someone mentioned relative humidity is best measured with a sling hygrometer, and even then I'd guess making the measurement can be bungled. So I did a little research and found the most likely to work well is the mechanical type (I believe a got a Conan(?)) that I knew I could trust, and also picked up this Honeywell kit because I couldn't resist the price. I've not had any problem with syncing mentioned by others.
Very nice. can show temp-humidity level for 4 different areas including outdoors. It comes with one wireless transmitter that can be used outdoors or somewhere else in the house, like to check levels in a basement. It can sit on a counter/shelf or hang on a wall.
I purchased this model because I like the Honeywell brand. The price was higher than other models but they are very accurate and reliable.
I'm pleased with the performance of this device, which really seems more like a toy than a tool. It's accurate, as it always seems to be in tune with the thermostat in the house. The wireless sensor feature is really great. Love being able to check the indoor/outdoor temp/humidity with just the touch of a button.
Main unit usually display 15-20% less than remote unit, even they are located 5 inch away from each other. And main unit measures almost 35% less humidity than my old meter which is almost impossible as it is definitely not 5% humidity inside my house. I put Honeywell devices outside and they even can't measure the humidity ("--" displayed). Online weather station shows that humidity in my area should be about 40%, not "--"!
I didn't have a humidity reference but they did match my home thermostat for temperature. The real test is to see how they operate over the long term. For some of the negative reviews, this unit is not made by Honeywell but by Hideki and sold under the Honeywell brand. Hideki is not a no name company, but a large multinational company that has been around 20 years.
It is so nice when things just work great out of the box. This thermo-hygrometer is one of those things. Pop in 4 AA batteries (2 in main unit, 2 in remote unit), synchronize the remote unit with the local unit (press a button), and now you can measure temperature and humidity in two separate rooms.
The Honeywell TM005X Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer is a great monitoring tool for home and work. With its easy on the eyes display it is an ideal way to monitor temperature and humidity.
I was disappointed. For starters, "Honeywell" did not make this product; some no-name company that is simply licensing the Honeywell name did. As someone else mentioned, the indoor and outdoor units display different readings - even when sitting next to each other; makes me wonder how accurate either gage is.
