Default Inside humidity

Want know what humidity in house is?

Might want to consider sensors that can be viewed on your phone. Adds history and alarms.
If you do, there are 2 unique classes. Most are very short range, but newest tech are very long range called LoRa. You want LoRa, because it works inside refrigerators, and through walls. It also has battery life measured in years.
Best are from YoLink.

Sounds good but, I’m not snowbird, at may age now I rarely gone more than day. Believe it or not I only use my iPhone for phone called. You can say I’m dinosaur and worked on dinosaurs, B52s, KC, NKC, EC, RC 135s. Multimeter and few pressure gauges all I needed.

The two devices that I have will tell you the highest and lowest humidity readings for the last 24 hours. Although, they cost more.

Those are low/acceptable humidity numbers, under 60 percent is good.

I sat watching TV and see humility in real time. I watch it go down when A/c on and go up till A/C kicked on. We want it does this winter when newt kicks on? I’, thinks it will drop when heat on and rise till heat kicks back on?

Depending on which Google information you want this says

between 40%-60%
Research shows that the ideal relative humidity for your home is between 40%-60%. However, to discourage the growth and spread of mold, levels should be kept below 50%.Jun

Another site says 30% to 60%.
