Here in Minnesota, maintaining a humidor in the winter has always been a challenge. This usually means, I abandon my humidor from roughly November until April every year. This year, I decided to try and keep up with the humidity with the aid of a new toy.

It's a temp/humidity sensor that talks to my phone through the manufacturer's app. (IOS/Android). In addition to getting a quick glance at the current status of my humidor, I have set thresholds to notify me if the temperature or humidity drops or raises beyond my comfort zone. The standard hydrometer that came built-in to the side of my humidor has always been junk, so I used to run a digital display hydrometer just behind the glass. While the digital hydrometer did keep accurate numbers, I'd still have to be mindful to look.

In steps the Govee sensor. Since it doesn't have any physical display on the device itself, location placement in the humidor wasn't all that critical. I used the included mount & tape to attach it to the backside of the shelf in my humidor (as seen in the picture).

I'm going to keep an eye on these over the next few months to get comfortable before keeping stock through a Minnesota winter.

Keep tuned for an update in the spring...
