• just a word of caution for anyone relying on the humidity readings in/on their Nest thermostat, that they may not be accurate and read too high.

    noticed the numbers on the dehumidifier (fancypants Meaco Arete) were a good 10-15% off from the Nest, whilst in close-ish physical poximity, so got a cheap hygrometer from Amazon, which matches the Meaco to within 1%.

    there’s also this thread with lots of folk reporting similar issues, with the only real fix being getting a new unit.

    could be worse i suppose, in that at least this old house is consistently in the low 50s rather than mid 60s %RH-wise!

  • RH measurements are never particularly accurate, I think+/-3% is usually considered good
