Great question. And the answer? Well, yes. It is, after all… isn’t it better to install the temperature and humidity sensor on the inside? Visually, maybe. But it pales in comparison to the effect it has on temperature and humidity readings, because you see, most smart hygrometers are based on Bluetooth, and this is due to its low power consumption. But Hub 2 supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. And when Wi-Fi is frequently used, the chip that emits signals tends to generate heat (see where this is going?) which would make the inside of your device hotter than it might be outside. This could affect temperature readings when used over time, which might lead to inaccurate data reading. And so, we put the temperature and humidity sensor on the cable outside to help prevent this.
