Temperature sensor.

Hey yall I am looking to upgrade my temperature and humidity sensors/system. I dont need high end or anything, just something that can accurately measure temperature and humidity and can store min max values. I dont need color screens or fancy features, just accuracy and reliability. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Hello,

I am currently using a data logger from Hobo (just for temperature though). I compared its readings with some other thermometers and it seems very accurate. In my setting,  it records the temperature every 30 Minutes, except when the temperature falls below 0.5 °C (32.9°F) or rises above 36°C (96.8 °F), then it records every 5 minutes till the temperature goes back to normal.  Like this, I can accurately know if there were detrimental temperatures for the palms. You can intuitively  zoom in and have a very detailed graph, which you also can export to excel or something like that. (Btw mine works over Bluetooth and is incredibly small) 

I don't know how expensive they are in the US (but it should be cheaper than in Germany). But I guess they are rather expensive for just min and max values. 

Anyway, this would be an example

A hair out of my price range for this currently but still pretty cool feature!

I am using a ThermoPro TP65 sensor. It is relatively cheap but accurate and keeps record of the max and min values

Ambient weather Ws-3000-x5 is my new toy.  The bad news is the sensors are not 100% waterproof. They need to be under overhang or in a palm hut or sometimes I secure them under a ziplock bagg.  Has charting max/min and alarm.

That is about perfect!  One for each corner of the house (rectangular rancher) and one for the greenhouse in the shop. Added to wish list!
