A humidity monitoring device is called a hygrometer. Hygrometers may be designed for indoor or outdoor humidity monitoring use (or both). Below is a summary of the types of hygrometers available for measuring humidity. Analog hygrometers use a moisture-sensitive material that is attached to a coil spring.
Small, handheld devices that include a hygrometer among several other instruments can provide fast, accurate readings of the relative humidity and other important atmospheric readings. These electronically powered devices can measure humidity by using materials that have electrical resistance.
