Review on 🌡️ Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer for Humidor and Greenhouse - Temperature Gauge Humidity Meter with App Alerts, Free Data Export, 500 Days Battery Life, 230ft Connecting Range - H5174 (Green) by Caleb Thomas

Ideal for use with Home Assistant

Requires only use of Govee software to configure sensor; After that, your software is no longer required to use this sensor with Home Assistant. I'm using HA on a Raspberry Pi 4 with built-in Bluetooth. So after entering the sensor's MAC address into the HA configuration, I can get the temperature and humidity through frequent Bluetooth sensor transmissions. The surprising part is the range of different Govee Bluetooth sensors and the battery life. One of the nice features of the Govee software is the ability to calibrate temperature and humidity sensors; I have six different types of Govee Bluetooth temperature sensors and the temperature readings on all of them are accurate. The humidity readings from several sensors differed by a few percent, so I corrected them after comparing them to a calibrated sensor. Good.
