Accessory Review: ThermoPro TP357 Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer

About six months ago I reviewed the ThermoPro TP59 Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer, and among the downsides of that unit was the large size. The folks at ThermoPro seem to have solved that problem with the smaller ThermoPro TP357 Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer.  I received one of these a few weeks ago and replaced the TP59 in the cabinet and began testing it. For testing purposes it sits on a shelf with a Western Digital Hygrometer and a Govee Model H5179. The pros: It was very easy to connect via bluetooth to the existing app which I already had installed. The app allows alarms to be set for high and low tolerances, and keeps a chart of some historical data. As I said when I reviewed the larger version, I’m more interested in seeing the fluctuations and trends than the actual numbers, I don’t want wild swings, but I don’t want the humidity to get too high or low either.  Comparing the three, they aren’t spot on, but are within an acceptable deviation of a point or two in humidity, and the temperature is within a degree, so I’m OK with the accuracy. the size is a big plus over the other unit, the TP359 is much more versatile, it’s maybe 2ยผ” square, easy to mount in any humidor. It’s got an easy to read digital display, ,and it actually shows “heat index” on the app, which isn’t important in the humidor so much, but if you were using it outside the humidor it’s handy. Here’s the nice part: it’s on;y $7.99. For a bluetooth hygrometer that’s fairly accurate, that’s not bad.  I have sensors in all of my humidors, between these and the Govee units now, and I kinda like this little guy. I used their picture because I liked the egg comparison! Our chickens lay some eggs that are much larger, but this will do.  Anyway, I think this is a cool budget friendly option and I can’t find fault with it. Like I said, it’s not laboratory grade accurate, but it’s a good guide, and for the price, it does what it needs to do.

 

Full Disclosure, the manufacturer provided me with a sample unit to try, and the link above is an Amazon affiliate link, which if readers make a purchase through, I get a couple cents eventually.

 

That’s all for today, until the next time,
