What will happen if humidity is over 85% (the device will break? or only the accuracy will decrease? )

Hi,

The sensor's operating range has been limited to 85% RH to cover most of the common use cases. Beyond 85%, the sensor performance will be impacted but the device will not be dead at a high relative humidity level unless the device is not submerged into water.

Thanks

The sensor will only be damaged if condensation happen. Otherwise, higher humidity level will only impact the accuracy.
