Definition: A Hygrometer is a device that measures atmospheric humidity in the room where it is located and provides a read-out percentage. It does not control humidity, but rather enables you to monitor the level, so you can take the proper action to maintain a proper moisture balance in your home.
It helps you to know whether your room or home has too much or too little moisture and requires a dehumidifier to remove the excess, or a humidifier to add more in order to make the room or home more comfortable.
Rather inexpensive, hygrometers are sold as small digital battery-operated units or as part of group of air quality measurement devices.
