QuoteDonM - 12/24/2018 9:33 AM I actually looked at the Boveda Butler recently. With a lack of positive reviews or reviews as a whole I steered away from it and I am still using calibrated cheap hygrometers. I will be interested in your opinion of it after you have had a chance to test ride it
Well, I've had it calibrate with the included kit, it was high by 2.8% which it automatically cirrected, and I've been running it in my IKEA-dor for 2.5 days now. (a 2.6 gallon air tight food storage container that I added some insulation to the outside of, and cigar box cedar liners and insert sheets on the inside, some of which I fashioned into a makeshift tray.)
Like I said, I'm pretty pleased with it overall, even if they push it as a marketing tool as well. 'set up your automatic boveda resupply order now!' the app is slick, transparent, and it even includes an impact sensor that's toggable for use when travelling.
My only real gripe is the random occasional disconnect which is common to most BT devices I own (like light bulbs.) which can be easily fixed by forcibly closing and restarting the app or phone, more annoying to me is the problems with pulling the data. It does it eventually, but it's more often than not a fight of cycling Bluetooth, restarting the app, and/or phone, until it finally takes.
