So I have the Bluetooth Govee deal in my humidor in the basement. When I got the Govee I also got some boveda calibration bags.
When I first got it and tested it, it was spot on, 75%.
I placed it in there to see how it would work in the humidor and to play with the humidor a bit, as Michigan basements tend to be a little chilly and damp in the summer (especially running the ac. Even with all the vents off)
At first it seemed pretty ok. But over the last couple months it’s been slowly creeping higher and higher. It felt kinda damp down there and even though the humidor is sealed I thought it could be that.
So I purchased a dehumidifier for the basement. It actually works pretty good, and as a added benefit it raises the ambient temp in that area a couple degrees. But still the Govee was high. So for a few days I let the humidor be open with nothing in it, then I would check and back and forth to see if it was better and stabilizing. No dice.
So last night I got another boveda bag out. Put the Govee in and sealed it inside another ziplock and placed it near a temp sensor I have.
Temp reads good. But the humidity is reading 90%? It’s odd it’s that far off but it does make sense to what I was expecting the humidity to really be.
Do you think this could be a low battery situation? Or should I just chuck this one for a new (or better) Govee? It’s just the little square one, no readout, have to use the phone.
