What Is The Boveda Butler? Boveda's Rob Gagner Explains
Boveda partnered with another company in order to develop a digital hygrometer that links to your phone.
The phone app works with both Android and iOS, and has no subscription fees. At only $20, the Butler is a great deal, and also comes with a calibration kit.
In the app, you can name and set pictures for each Butler-connected humidor. Besides this, there are notes sections to put in as much information as you need.
The calibration kit uses the 75% RH Boveda pack. This is because the 75% uses one type of salt, while most other RH packs are blends of two.
The 32% pack also uses only one type of salt. Therefore, for even more accuracy, you can do a two-point calibration with both 75% and 32%.
A one-point calibrated Butler has a 2.4% degree of variance, while two-point offers 1.8%.
One-point calibration takes 24 hours, therefore the two-point calibration is 48 hours.
In order to calibrate, just set up your Butler in the calibration kit, go into the settings wheel in the App. Click Calibrate, and it gives you the option to do one- or two-point calibration. Note, however, that for two-point calibration, you need to buy the 32% pack, which doesn't come with the Butler.
After calibration, the Butler app allows you to set temperature alerts, with both high and low ends. The alerts are based on a six-hour average based on hourly updates from each Butler. If the temperature falls out of your range for more than six hours, the app alerts you.
You can look at statistics for relative humidity and temperature hourly, daily or monthly.
The Bluetooth connectivity of the Butler allows you to check all of your humidors instantly, but there's another benefit. Because you don't have to open your humidor to check it, you're not affecting the humidity at all by checking.
Overall, compared to inaccurate analog hygrometers and non-calibratable digital hygrometers, the Butler offers vastly more accuracy and convenience.
However, keep in mind that even a calibrated Butler can be 2-4 relative humidity percentage points off. Also, recalibrating your Butler every 3-6 months will keep it accurate, especially when entering a different season.
We hope you enjoyed this explanation of the Boveda Butler and how it's different from other cigar storage sensor solutions. Please like this video and subscribe to our channel for more cigar videos, and much more men's lifestyle content.

• What Is The Boveda But...
Hey Guys! I really like your videos. Could you do a video on tobacco Beatles. What they are, do they affect your cigars and what you can do about them if they are found in your humidor? Thanks.
Great suggestion! We'll keep that in mind!
Freezing is the most easy way to kill any beetle and other insects ... Some cigar manufacturers actually freeze all their cigars before shipping them out to costumers to make sure there is no tobacco beetles.
i wish he went more in depth on the "take notes" part. only reason i havent bought one is because i already have an app thats a "virtual humidor" which i search all the cigars i have in my humidor, so i can see the brands and all information on each cigar, and even record my smoke experiences..
is this part of the app like that? or is it just me writing the name and thats it..?
Which app do you use? I haven't found one I've really liked using and it would be great to have a good one.
Why is it $39 now when it started out as $20???
Is there a way to remotely monitor when not within Bluetooth distance?
Hi Sparkola,
Yes, there is actually. You can do this by having an older device with data or WiFi that has the app installed and within range of the butlers. If you open the app on another device elsewhere, it'll provide you with up-to-date info via the one that's in range.
Best,
CP
Thanks!!!!
@@sparkola Anytime!
Excellent device
1 question can you use 2/3/4 devices with the 1 app
Hi!
Yes, absolutely, I have four butlers running off the app myself for each of my humidors.
Best,
CP
Dear Andrew,
Yes, I'm currently running 12 units.
Sometimes the app times out, but one it cranks up works fine.
Cheers - Paul
Hi there, i am nötig very satisfied with my Butler because of the Support of this App.
There are customers all around the world and you have no language Settings.
Hi Die Moorperlen,
I suggest that you contact Boveda directly and ask them to feature more languages in future updates. We're just a blog talking about the device.
Best,
CP
I tried looking for this device in Amazon and at the Boveda web page. I am guessing that this product is no longer available, correct?
Hmmm, thanks for bringing this up. We've looked around and can't seem to find it either. We'll reach out to Boveda because it's the first we've heard of it no longer being available. If you're in a hurry and need a device, I'd recommend Sensor Push or Govee instead. Otherwise, I'll try to get a definitive answer to you in a few days.
How do I export the data from my phone to a computer or create a report?
Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the app supports that feature. If you want to export reports, you'll have to do it manually...
Hello, when will Boveda get the Butler back in stock?
Sorry to hear that they're out if stock. Unfortunately, we're not Boveda so we can't say. I'd reach out to them directly!
Rob is the man! I must say, it makes my head hurt how people can sit next to him as he said "Boveda" over and over and you still say "BoVEEda" Just don't understand it lol.
He didn't correct us until *after* the videos!
this device is horrible in my opinion. Bought 1 and it is stuck on calibration way past 24 hrs. Bought another one and the same issue. Waste of time and money!
They're not perfect, no. But for $20, they provide far more value than most other devices!
Horrible product. I'm surprised this is on the market to purchase.
I think that your mileage may vary. There are lots of people that swear by them whereas others have had issues setting it up. Boveda has done a lot of firmware and software updates, which has improved it considerably.
And this is how you discover some BS channel. The product is garbage. You go on their Android app and has 5000+ downloads. If you add iOS user you end up with around 10k units sold world wide. On the Android the app has 2.6/5 , with huge connectivity issues. They claim is all good after version 1.4.3 but I am using 1.4.4 and is still garbage, with huge connectivity issues. I needed 3 units but got only 2 to begin with and got issues with both, yet you find some guys like this kissing boveda's ass. After a video like this there is no way they can say anything at all and be trusted.
Great concept but hygrometer runs way too high! Don’t buy it. Tossed mine in the trash. Boveda customer service no help!
Sorry to hear that. Did you not try manually calibrating it?
At first I was like "wow, I've seen this problem before on other videos" and then I looked back, and it's the same dude saying the same stuff everywhere else.
FFS, whining about a waste of time
@@stevenmoon1141 isn't whinnying the sound horses make?
Bespoke Unit didn’t catch the spell check. Very mature. You actually old enough for cigars? 😝
@@stevenmoon1141 sorry, we'll try to stay humourless in the future.
