I think it is important to keep the elctronics seperate from the insides of the incubator. I think this is one of the reasons you have such wide variations in temp humidity reading whan using one of those digital thermohygrometers. The sensors are mounted on the circuit board and the whole thing is exposed to a constant humiditiy enviroment. Electronics and moisture dont play well together. If one just placed the sensor part of the thermostat inside the incubator and the rest of the thermostat outside out of the humid enviroment, I think the electronic, digital would probably out last the wafer disc type by a large margin. Of course there are a lot of differences in the quality of the sensors. One found in a $10 digital thermohygrometer isnt going to be very accurate or last very long when compared to a commercial quality sensor.
Commercial quality means the sensors should hold up for years and provide reliable service for the entire life span of the sensor. These type of sensors and electronics are usually reserved for high end applications such as found in the medical industry where reliability and accuracy is a must. You dont pick those type of devices up at Walgreens or Wally World and if you did the price would probably scare you away.
