Is this normal for humidity to do this?

So I have a govee and I like watching my temperature and humidity with it and I noticed this trend of “spikes” going on.. I have a humidikit and have it set where under 30% humidity it will turn on, when it does the humidity goes up to the 40s and drops back down creating these spikes.
Really I don’t know if this is OK or if I should be concerned.
I am trying to keep it above 30 and below 40 for my emu eggs, this whole time before seeing humidity graphed out I thought it was a near constant number like temperature of course silly me :confused:

If it is normal.. which reading should I use? The max? Minimum? Or average? I’ve just been going off what it is each minute.
Also all four of my hygrometers read around the same % they are usually off around 1% give or take.
Also should note without this humidikit the incubator is basically dry hatching I have no water in the channels of my hovabator.

This is super inconsistent. The humidity should be rather stable without many sharp changes in humidity levels. It seems like your incubator is not able to maintain a consistent and steady humidity level due to the sensor controlling the humidity by turning off and on again. I would think about switching to a regular humidity sensor and then maintaining the humidity by either having a damp paper towel or some standing water in say a bottle cap. If this does not result in a more consistent humidity then it is likely an incubator issue.
