I have two different temp/humidity sensors sitting on my desk. One is an ESP32 with a DHT22 attached and the other is a Zigbee sensor like the one here in this picture.

My issue is that they report different temps and humidity levels. While the temps are close, the humidity is totally different... which one do i believe?

so if you put both sensors into a warm lunch box with salt water (so much salt that it stays solid at the bottom) and wait a while, you'll see which of the sensors is bad. (of course make sure the sensors don't make direct contact with the salt water, using a bowl or whatever)

You can believe neither, they both will have inaccuracies as should be specified in their datasheet

Not like you're getting one of those with most Tuya-"branded" sensors

Generally those sensors should live well within an error of 1*c and 5-10% on humidity

You'd kinda could only tell by having a bunch of them how the variance is
