Thermometers, Hygrometers, and UV Meters?

[Oxalis]

Does anyone have any good suggestions on Amazon for some temperature and humidity gauges? I'm also curious for a UV meter so I can periodically test my lightbulbs. Is there a particular brand that has some good models? Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

Here are a couple suggestions. For a UV Mater I suggest the solar meter brand. I use the 6.5 UV index meter.

Does anyone know how accurate an app on a phone might be? I have an app called: Hygro and it monitors humidity, not sure on its accuracy though.

Your phone would have to have a hygrometer built in and that is a feature I have not seen yet.

That app probably uses weather data from a weather site to tell you the current humidity.

Am I wrong? THat would sure be a neat app for a phone if its really exists.

I have not seen or heard of any acceptable substitute.

You're right though, I just turned off my Location thing and it told me that it cannot function without it, so yea, its getting local information from the weather.. ugh.

You can check my post about the outdoor temperature and humidity sensor, even it is design to use for outdoor use, but I believe you can use the sensors in your indoor habitat setup, and you can check out the readings from the main control panel anywhere in your house.
