most accurate hygrometer/thermometer

[OneMountainAcres]

Hi everyone! I just got my first incubator yesterday (hova - bator model 2362E) and I'm looking for the most accurate hygrometer/thermometer to use in it. So please share your opinions on the best and their accuracy. Thank you!

As for thermometers, these are the two best I've found without spending hundreds of dollars.

One is this probe that can be calibrated but comes with a guaranteed 0.9 F accuracy range.

It's on sale now.

The other one is the Brinsea spot check.

I tried to get the link to the US site but it must be down now.

The down side of the spot check is that it has a narrow reading range and if it's too high or low it just displays and H or L. So you don't know how far off it is.

For a hygrometer, you need one that is calibratable.

I found this combination unit.

The hygrometer is accurate to +-2% but the thermometer part is +-1C

Thank you I'll be looking into those. Is it hard to calibrate a hygrometer? I have no clue what I'm doing lol
