I used the Bovida calibration kit on both an older trusted hygrometer and the new one I just put in my brand new cabinet. Both were within a couple of degrees of 75% and both read about 65% give or take a couple of degrees in my ity bitty 12 bottle vino and my new cabinet humidor. I got to trust the beads and for the life of me can't figure out why I even bother looking at the hygrometers since you can look at the beads and tell when they need water added. In my cabinet since I'm still breaking it in I also have the small Hydra for active humidification. All of this info I learned from reading the posts of the experienced BOTL on this site.
