Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer Wireless Thermometer Mini Humidity Sensor with Notification Alert Data Storage and Export 262 Feet

We love this Govee thermometer and hygrometer. It works great and provides accurate temperature and humidity readings through the app with no issues. The Bluetooth range is more than enough for our needs, and the alerts are very useful for keeping an eye on conditions. The small size makes it easy to place anywhere. Definitely a great purchase.

We purchased three of these mini Govee Bluetooth hygrometers to monitor humidity while running the air-conditioning, which had been drying out my husband’s skin. Our target is around 48% humidity, and these sensors have been spot-on across multiple rooms. Setup was simple since we already use the Govee App. This model connects via Bluetooth only, which works well for our home layout. At the time of writing, the product listing incorrectly says no battery required - it actually takes a CR2477 battery, which is included. The battery compartment is secured with three small screws, a thoughtful safety feature that prevents children or pets from accessing the button cell. Performance has been reliable and consistent. The temperature and humidity history in the app makes it easy to spot trends and adjust the environment. For the price, it’s excellent value+ simple, safe, and accurate. Read more

I got this sensor to create a simple "information center" out of an old iPad, for use in my RV. This just involves setting up the "home screen" of the pad with widgets from various apps like weather, calendar, etc. Using iOS widgets lets me make a flexible, easy-to-read display that's user friendly without any special software or setup. Importantly, it uses BT instead of WiFi, since I don't have a router in my RV. It mostly gets the job done and for the money it's hard to complain. It could be a little better, though. WIDGETS I chose the Govee over all others because it was the only option I found that offered iOS widgets. The widget has Dark and Light mode versions, which is nice. There are small, medium, and large sizes. The small can display one sensor; the other two display multiple sensors. You get sensor name, date and time, picture of the device, temp readout, and humidity readout...which is actually too much. This does meet my needs, but I'm disappointed that the most important info -- the temp and humidity -- are very small and hard to see due to sharing space with all that extra info, and especially the picture of the device, which is *pointless since it never changes*. Widgets should display whatever the app specializes in ONLY, not a whole cluster of the same redundant info I can get anywhere else. It's like having the clock on the wall, on the microwave, on the DVD player, on the coffee maker... I'd prefer to see only device name and measurements. The smallest widget would ideally (for me) show just one user-chosen measurement, allowing very customizable and easy-to-read layouts. The other widget sizes are better suited to fitting in more measurements and/or more sensors. I hope Govee will add easier-to-read widget options in a future app update. PERFORMANCE Aside from this, the device itself performs fine. I have no "calibrated" thermometer to compare it with, but the numbers agree with various other devices and they update often. If I pick it up in my hand I see the temp go up pretty much right away. I'm happy with how compact it is. Setup was fast and easy. No registration or signup required to add the device to the app, and connecting to the sensor went smoothly. I The instructions are written in a way that seems like you can add a sensor directly from the app, but in iOS at least you need to pair to the sensor in Settings (the conventional way) before the app will see it. This is plenty easy. I have my sensor in an exterior compartment that's enclosed in metal. It's only about 10 feet from my pad but there's quite a lot of obstructions between them, and I have no trouble with the connection. INSTALLATION The device itself is surprisingly small; only a little larger than its widget displaying on my iPad! This makes it easy to slip into just about any spot. The only physical change I suggest to the case is a second mounting hole, which would make it much easier to secure against movement and vibration. The hole is located on a face that's angled so if you try to (lightly) secure it with a screw, it doesn't sit flat - the beveled edges of the case make it "wheelie". A second hole (or simpler case design) would help with that. BATTERY The batteries are CR2477 coin cells, which are a rather large and totally unfamiliar size of coin cell for me in the US. One cell is about the size of 4 US quarters stacked up. These are tough to find in local stores (though of course AMZ has them) but their energy capacity is almost 5 times that of a common CR2032 so I expect they will last quite a while -- though I haven't had it long enough to say. I don't know if it sends a "low batt" message to the app/widget (but that'd be a nice feature). Read more

Had my for 9 months and works flawlessly. Mine is Bluetooth and always gives accurate feedback on the temperature and humidity. I just threw mine in my Humidor and it just works. Give it a couple hours and everything reads correctly and accurately. For me I did not have to calibrate either… very happy Read more

Highly recommend. I'll start off with noting one of the most useful things that happened within a month of owning this freezer thermometer. The power went out but it happened while we were not home. I was able to look at the temperature readings to get an estimate of how long the outage lasted and if any food was affected. I love having the temperature graph to see if the temps dipped higher or lower than they should. It's very easy to read and keep track of. It also shows you the battery life which is great. Not a product issue but a phone issue is that my widget for the Govee Home App displays an outdated temperature and to get a current accurate reading you do have to open the app to update. I've had no issues with connecting to the app from any location thus far. I had bought a different brand before but didn't realize it required a hub to function. Not the case with this freezer thermometer. It is a small cute size so doesn't take up much space and has worked well. I do have a manual thermometer to compare against for temperature accuracy. It says it handles down to -4 degrees Farenheit which is true. My freezer dips below that frequently maybe up to -9 degrees and the thermometer is still kicking. But again it's only been a month so we shall see how long the battery lasts being pushed. Read more

I bought this thermometer with a single purpose in mind - to alert me in the middle of a winter night whenever the temperature dips below freezing, so that I can activate some outdoor heating elements from my iPhone. I hung the Govee under an eave outside my bedroom window, and paired it with my iPhone, and it works perfectly. The only problem was that I could not get it to work with Siri to announce temperature alerts in a woman's voice that would be sure to wake me up; all I got was a single "drip" sound for an alert. After a long while I finally remembered there are other iOS alert sounds, and I found a couple with multi-note alerts that would stand a better chance of waking me up. Then I remembered that I had recorded some 15-20 second ringtones years ago that I use for various everyday calendar alerts and alarms. Now I have my Govee temperature alerts set up to play Delbert McClinton singing, "Here come ol' Flat-top, He come groovin' up slowly, He got..." For $11 I think I got an excellent bargain. Read more
