🌡️ Govee WiFi Hygrometer Thermometer: Wireless Sensor with App Alerts for Greenhouse, Basement, Pets, and More! Review

garbage. Don't waste your time or money. The biggest issue I've encountered is that the app needs 24/7 access to location to work. This is absolute knogo. I don't need to provide an email address and my location for the temperature and humidity sensor to work on my phone. There are many other brands that do not require this. I've been fiddling with this thing for over an hour and can't even get it to connect to my wifi. Waste of time and money to buy this product.

Now that I understand it's not an indoor/outdoor thermometer but a remote temperature and humidity sensor with a wifi gateway, it works really well for my intended purpose. I know they do it with two sensors but Revain doesn't carry it so hopefully I can add additional sensors as for the price it couldn't be better and I love the fact that I have all of their devices on my certified Kestrel meter can calibrate. I placed it in a sheltered spot, 6 feet off the ground but not directly below the…

I have used two of these in my freezers so we know if the power has gone out for an extended period while we have been away or if someone has forgotten to close the freezer fully. They work great in the freezer, are easy to set up and measure temperature accurately. The only two downsides are (1) I was hoping to put them both on the same WiFi hub (I can connect additional Govee water sensors to the same hub) and (2) I thought the range to send an alert was at least -20 . Although the readings…

Initial setup was easy, but the gateway switched itself off after a few days. At this point I had abandoned the instructions and there is no support information on the Govee website. I deleted the device in the app (iOS) and added it back without error, but the thermometer didn't show up. I assumed the sensor needed to be paired with the gateway again, but couldn't remember how to do that - I finally figured it out: hold down the power button on the gateway until the LED flashes red and blue…

This is the second product I have bought. The first worked perfectly until the battery was empty (after about 7 months). This one doesn't sit well with me because it shuts itself off multiple times a day for an hour or more. This doesn't give me a good idea of its reliability, although when plugged in it does appear to provide accurate temperature and humidity readings. At this point, I'm not sure if the device is rated for intermittent operation or if my WiFi is to blame. I first tried the…

I've searched everywhere and found you need to disable 5ghz to connect this to your wifi and phone if you have a network system. Bad design on your part, but good. Figured out how to do it. Then I could see the Govee network. Big. Click the buttons to connect. It says to move my Govee device closer to the Wi-Fi router to complete the setup. It's up, I'm down. Excellent. Get up 4 feet from your Wi-Fi router and start over. Tells me again that I'm too far from the wireless router. I unplug it and

I know the Govee app because I have two Govee H5075 Bluetooth temperature/humidity sensors. They work great. But Bluetooth has a limited range. I want to add a WiFi based temperature/humidity sensor. I have previously tried two temperature/humidity combinations of the Govee H5040 WiFi Gateway but both had problems in providing continuous and reliable data logging. Missing segments appeared in the graph from time to time, and recorded temperature readings changed randomly from time to time. When

I read the reviews on the old model and chose this one because it has improved Wi-Fi capabilities. I have a router with 2.4 and 5 GHz. I followed the instructions and the device connected well. The first 24 hours it was plugged in the device time was 12 hours shorter, which didn't really matter as 6 hours is still 6 hours in my mind. BUT. It seemed like after some connection time he would just have to make up his own mind because now he is reading the correct time. Notifications seem to come to
