Would the above be OK in bathroom? Thought I had posted this but do not see it
 
Why would you put an outdoor weather station indoors? All it will do it tell you what the weather is like in that room!

If you want to display the weather conditions outside within the house, go for something like [broken link removed], or [broken link removed] one if you really want to go all out.

because it is cheaper than the others . all i want is to track humidity/temp in bathroom
 
Don't know how precise you need the results to be but this is unlikely to be that accurate. I would say +/- 5% RH at best but it's probably not even that good.

your wrong there, I've just ordered a belt from amazon, £12.99............price including postage and currency difference......total. €16.22
 
I have 2 of them in the house and a lidl indoor radio clock/weather station and they all agree so my two seem accurate.
 
We have it four years now and it is working fine. It came with an outside thermometer (really handy in autumn/spring going outdoors with kids - have some idea of how much they need to be wrapped up). Sorry I don't remember the price but you do see they as specials every so often. Amazon shipped to Ireland. If you buy either 20 or 25 euro of goods from amazon then delivery is free. We ordered a garden hose on Sunday night and it arrived yesterday.
 
Thanks clownie. I also have a weather station. This is only for temp and humidity.Might et the amazon one but would prefer to walk in and buy it in lidl. BTW can anyone say exactly what is normal RH. Between 45% and 55%. Mine has the word DRY light up when the air is too dry

Well it has a 3 year warranty

Nothing to do with warranty. The sensors have an inherent inaccuracy. All sensors do, even high precision ones. E.g. something providing +/- 2% RH will be quite expensive. If it's cheap, it's unlikely to be better than +/- 5% possibly even +/- 7 or 10%.

But as I said, it depends on what you want or are expecting.
 
The humidity depends on the weather, whether you ventilate the rooms (ie open windows) and how much you have the central heating on.
 
Hard to say - they don't seem to list the accuracy spec anywhere which would lead me to think it's not very good.

Have you tried the likes of Maplins? They probably have slightly better quality stuff.
 
It is made by Digitech Germany and accurate to within + or - 3 degrees. Is that good? Thanks
