different values of humidity, temperature

Hello guys, which values should I trust more ? The difference in temperature is usually around 2-4 celsius, and in humidity usually around 5 to 15... Vevor sensor is right to the highgarden, so they should have same conditions.

The Highpro “OUT” value is from the sensor. It’s showing 26.9 °C compared to 26 °C on the Vevor. Does the Vevor simply not have an extra digit of precision? If so, it could actually be something like 26.4 °C. Humidity is relative to temperature — higher temperature means lower relative humidity. I still don’t think the two will ever match 100 %, so either average them or get a third, more reliable one.

Read the manual. Each has a +/- error and rated accuracy for temperature and RH. The typical inexpensive rh meters are +/- 3-5%. It's judging it based on some hairlike material contracting and stretching in a predictableway to moisture levels. It's not super accurate, but it's within 3-5%. Inexpensive thermometers in various devices, liek a space heater are at least +/- 3F usually. Just as with a scale... .01g resoluton and +/- .03g error for a typical .01g resolution scale. The equipment is not 100% accurate. It all comes with error. Better stuff will have a smaller range of error and likely cost more. Also have to weed out shady vendors that like to lie about specifications or don't even provide it in the manual. If one probe regularly measures a few percent higher, for example, recognize the offset and make sure to consider it whenever reading that one... it may actually be something inbetween, but what's more important is that you read it in a consistent way or borrow something more accurate to determine which is more erroneous. if there is a huge variance, one piece of equipment may be a piece of shit, lol. May need a 3rd device to determine which is garbage. Even if they are of the same brand, this can and will happen. it is inherent.

I always have these problems, whether from ic infinity in combination with spiderfarmer. I always get different results. I always stick to the values of the expensive device.

I would trust the vevor sensor more. That highgarden-thing has a big black surface that is presented to the light. I guess that this distorts a clean measurement.
