Abstract

A remote humidity monitor system for detecting a targeted object utilizes a humidity sensor to detect humidity and sends a result to a reader via the wireless communication device; a server can execute monitor management. The humidity sensor can be a mass hygrometer, an optical condensation dew-point hygrometer, a psychrometer (wet-and-dry bulb thermometer), a hair hygrometer, an electrolysis humidity sensor, a lithium chloride humidity sensor, an aluminum oxide humidity sensor, a high polymer humidity sensor, or an infrared hygrometer.
