Product Description & Technical Details
Product Description
The FY-12 Mini Digital Thermometer Hygrometer is a standalone, ultra-compact device designed for quick and easy monitoring of environmental conditions. Unlike sensors that require an Arduino, this is a "ready-to-go" unit with a built-in LCD screen. Its sleek, rectangular design features side tabs for "snap-in" panel mounting, making it a favorite at Robogears for integration into DIY egg incubators, cigar humidors, 3D printer filament dry-boxes, and greenhouse control panels.

Installation Tip from Robogears
Since this unit has its sensors built directly into the housing (usually via vents on the back or sides), ensure that the back of the device has adequate airflow. If you are mounting it into a sealed box, make sure the vents are facing the environment you want to measure. For battery installation, slide open the rear compartment and ensure the LR44/AG13 cells are placed with the positive (+) side facing up. If the display becomes faint, it is a sign that the batteries need replacement.
Note: This product is a Standalone Device. It does not provide digital output pins for microcontrollers. Batteries are usually included but may vary by batch. Product images are for illustration purposes only.
