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.
Stripped down to their most basic function, hygrometers measure the amount of moisture in the air using a metric known as relative humidity, or RH, expressed as a percent. Digital units come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from flat to round, and some even include a digital thermometer.
