I bought this unit for the function of hygrometer. The display of the temperature and time is a plus. There is also a memory temperatures and minimum and maximum humidity changes. And alarm function (which however is not intuitive to adjust). The display is easy to read, the device larger than might suggest the photo (10 cm x 11 cm) and the whole is rather qualitative. You can ask this through its stand or hang on the wall. I do not have a reference for judging the accuracy of the humidity, but the temperature is consistent with other thermometers. And measuring at least allows to evaluate changes and moisten the atmosphere of the room if needed.
