Hygrometers

I'm grappling with this again as the air in our home has dried out over the past couple of months. We run a whole-house furnace humidifier and have added smaller humidifiers in specific rooms. The hygrometers I have show a whole range of relative humidity levels that can differ by as much as 20%. I have four in my practice studio - three digital and one analog - that right now read 28%, 33%, 38% and 48%. About all I can conclude is that we are under the 50% the furnace humidifier is set to provide.

I have checked two of my meters and one other we're using in a different room in sealed zip lock bags with Boveda humidipacks, but none of them reach the 72% level the packs are supposed to maintain. Leaving me with not knowing if the problem is the hygrometers or the humidipacks (which are a little old but until now unused and stored in their own sealed bags).

What do all of you who monitor your indoor humidity levels use to measure it?
