mikem2780 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Anyone try this? If so, did it work for you or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciscojohansson Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have two, for about a year now and they do the job but I find that there are major bluetooth connectivity issues. In the end it always works but it takes time, the app craches and sometimes I even have to restart the phone. Maybe it is my old Samsung 6... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgcrunch Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I just ordered a handful yesterday; five for $86 shipped, cant say no to the price. Would have bought more but they advertise max of five connecting to the app at once. When they land and are in use, I'll report back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be awesome because I have been curious about the Boveda Butler myself as an economic solution to the Sensor Push which I am still iffy on.

nKostyan Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I want try it too. But Boveda is hard to buy for me (or very expensive shipping). I can by Xiaomi for smart house. Anyone try this or analog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclepauly25 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have two , one in my desktop and one in my wineador. Had them about 6 months, so far so good, seems to be accurate, they match my digital hygrometers. It does take up to a minute to connect to the app, but that might be because of having a older iPhone 6s . Really nice not to have to open the humidor to check humidity and temperature. Also you can link it to an old phone or tablet and check remote through WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamehawker Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have 5 Boveda Butlers and they do an amazing job on accurately keeping track of your humidity for my cigars in my coolidors. Easy to calibrate and install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDSpiritual1 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I recently picked up 3 and they seem to be pretty good. If you do decide to pick some up, I'd suggest you continue to run with your digital Hygrometers in parallel when starting off though so you have something to compare the reading to. I started off using the auto calibration feature (i.e. using the 75% it gives you) but found that some of them started to get wonky against my 65% setup afterwards. So, I manually calibrated it against the 65% for 24/48 hours instead and that seemed to produce more consistent and accurate results. One of mine may be faulty as I had to manually calibrate it to -6.7 for it to measure properly while the other ones seems to be at around +.7 and +1.7 respectively. If it wasn't for my existing hygrometer remaining stable, I would have thought my Tupperdor was running like 5% higher than the stated Boveda packs after using the auto calibration wizard. Your results might be better but just something to keep in mind. Otherwise, they are great units - especially if you have a humidor that doesn't display any readings externally.

TheMonk Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I've got two, but only had them for a couple weeks so it's early to say, but so far they seem pretty accurate and connect relatively easy via Bluetooth. For the price, seems like a pretty good purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMilG Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I have a couple and for the most part they work well. I keep my old units in there as well, just to verify/ Takes a while to load sometimes, biggest complaint is it's bluetooth only - if you're not home you can't check the readings.

LateApex Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I received one for Christmas and think it's a great product - especially for the price. So far so good. (I also gifted one to my brother-in-law to monitor his wine cellar, which I think is a good application as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterbeav Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 How do you do the 32% Test? I bought the 75 calibration pack and the 32 calibration pack on Amazon.
