Abstract: A humidity sensing device dimensioned to be received in a humidor for detecting an out of range ambient moisture condition and transmitting a signal to a remote monitor. The sensing device establishes an acceptable range of period for a humidity sensitive oscillator. The out of range condition causes a signal to be transmitted to the decoding monitor which provides an alarm signal.
