Tools for Monitoring Humidity (Hygrometers, Smart Thermostats, etc.)

Staying on top of humidity doesn’t require high-end equipment—just simple tools in the right places:

🔹 Digital Hygrometers

  • Easy-to-use devices that show current humidity levels
  • Many models offer multi-room remote sensors, perfect for monitoring different zones of the home
  • Ideal for placing in areas that are rarely accessed—including crawlspaces and attics—where moisture problems often go unnoticed
  • Some models log humidity trends, helping you spot hidden issues early

🔹 Smart Thermostats

  • Built-in humidity sensors let you track conditions alongside temperature
  • Some systems automatically adjust HVAC settings to help maintain ideal RH

🔹 Indoor Weather Stations

  • Provide a comprehensive view of indoor climate—tracking humidity, temperature, barometric pressure, and more
  • Useful for understanding how your environment changes with weather, seasons, or HVAC use

📍Best Practices

  • Place sensors on each level of the home, including in crawlspaces and attics
  • Add an outdoor sensor for comparison—this helps identify whether humidity is coming in from outside or building up indoors
  • Use your readings to guide adjustments in ventilation, HVAC operation, or dehumidifier use

Monitoring is the foundation of humidity control. With accurate data, you can make smart changes before small issues become big problems.
