What would you need to know temp and humidity for? Since you wont the luxury of adjusting a thermostat during your survival situation...

You use it to figure wind chill factor, something that is very important to keeping a proper body core temperature.

I was just reading on the Red Cross site that older people, like my mom, have trouble gauging how cold they are - their internal thermometer is off. This can be important in a winter situation if the power goes off at home due to a storm. And it seems like most other small thermometers were getting really bad reviews. So this is an option for me.

If you were camping, or on a hike, it might be helpful to know these things to prevent you from "over-doing" it and getting heat exhaustion or heat stroke . When I was in the Army, they would use a "wet bulb" chart (humidity/temp) to determine the level of exertion we were allowed to reach.The compass has many features that are hand besides the temp and humidity. I like mine and feel it was worth the cost.

It is good to have information about the weather. I'd certainly want to know when it was approaching the freezing mark. Also to track changes in the weather. Would even be better if it had a barometer. You can also use every day - not just for survival. Overall, it is a nice compact tool. But keep in mind, this is not a high precision tool and would not rely only on this for survival.

Hello Jane, I honestly don't know because after a short time (despite adjustments) the unit did not keep accurate temperature or humidity & I got rid of it. It was a disappointment (should have followed up on an Amazon review). Suggestion: I replaced with an Ambient Weather Station WS-1171 which provides the following: indoor/outdoor temperatures & humidity levels, plus dewpoints, barometric pressure & history, time, day, date, and it has an active indicator which (in conjunction with barometer) shows changes in the weather ie. cloudy to sunshine, rain to sun, etc. One small sensor unit sits outside & the display unit sits inside your home in a convenient location. No wires or electricity required 3 AA batteries. I like it very much.

too many question here like temp chemical .you,lll have to provide more detailed info and did you provide food and water source just in case they needed it.sorry but more detail is needed

This unit measures both the humidity and the temperature, but it displays only the relative humidity, so if you want to know the temperature, you'll need another meter for that. I have a temperature controller next to the humidity meter, so I get temperature off that.

It has a setting to program your desired humidity level. Is that what you are asking?

Probably too small for a heater. Would believe that ambient temp will suffice for normal room temps.

There is a sensor, it's built in to the humidifier so you can set the humidity level. Although I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate, I have a separate humidity sensor and the numbers are about 5 degrees of humidity apart.

Howdy , There is no visable thermostat. It has to be built in in order to regulate the temperature.It cools satisfactory as is. Here in Texas our temps. hang around 95 to 100º during the day. William Fell. fellwg29@AOL.com

No, there is only one sensor for both heat and humidity. So you would have to put that into one habitat or the other.

The addition of heat helps dissipate moisture. Typical heat based gadgets used for this purpose run continuously circulating air over a moderate heat source. This heater is not built for that purpose. setting the thermostat at a low temperature the heater will cycle on and off instead of running continuously. On days that are most but above the thermostat setting it will not come on at all. So it does not seem like a good option to me. But, it will certainly do a better job than doing nothing.

Yes, but not for extremes: Operating Temperature 0 - 40 °C (32 - 104 °F) Humidity Max. 85% non-condensing

It depends on expectations and also how tight your house is and on the water temp. In my case I have the smaller unit for 2250square feet and it does just fine keeping the humidity around 35% in very cold weather actually higher than I should have it based on the windows fogging :)

No, you cannot. You need to get the higer level model for that. According to manual, this unit has preset humidity level target for 60 percent.

There is an adjustment for the BTU output, but no thermostat. I think most applications would be for short term and therefore you would adjust the heat setting as needed.
