Govee WiFi Temperature Sensor H5179, Smart Hygrometer Thermometer with App Notification, 2 Years Free Data Storage Export, Remote Monitor for Room Greenhouse Incubator Wine Cellar, 2 Pack

I bought this device 4 months ago and suddenly got broken and stop measuring temperature and humidity, it is a money waste not worth it at all

Works as advertised. Wish it worked with apple Home

I bought this device for our barn which has a WIFI router. The temperature is measured in 10-60 min intervals, depending on your settings. An alarm is sent to your phone and/or email address if the temp is outside of your chosen parameters. All is easy to set up. When the device is near your phone, it connects via bluetooth as well. All parameters can be adjusted this way. Once it's out of reach and connected to WIFI only, some parameters cannot be changed anymore (alert thresholds, network settings, calibration) which threw me off at first. You will need bluetooth connection for that. One tip: to change the batteries, the lid can be pried open and must be completely removed. If you force it open thinking there are hinges like a door you may break it.

This item works great! Exactly as advertised. Setup was easy taking less than 5 minutes. I bought 4 sensors and one stopped connecting in just under a year. Govee tech support was very quick to answer my inquiries and ultimately sent out a replacement right away with no hassle. Great product and support!

After searching all the products on the market that monitor temperature and capture video of your fur babies while we are camping in our 5th wheel camper. I was not a fan of the huge price of subscriptions and not a fan of having to subscribe to a service in order for the product to work. We ultimately opted to purchase the Govee WiFi Temperature Sensor H5179 Smart Hygrometer Thermometer with App Notification and a separate camera system to watch our fur baby while we are away from our camper. Here are the pros and cons of the Govee WiFi Temperature Sensor. Pros: 1) The Govee works on a wi-fi network as opposed to Bluetooth only. Now some may argue that wi-fi is unreliable, however we are fortunate to have our wi-fi system built into our camper, so we do not have to use the guest wi-fi server provided by the campground. Yes, there is a potential of a power outage but if that happens, we are leaving the beach or wherever we are and heading back to the campground. We also do not boondock or camp in very remote locations, we the Govee WiFi Temperature Sensor works perfectly to monitor the temperature in the camper. 2) The Govee monitors both the humidity and the temperature. 3) You can set the ranges for temperature and humidity based on your preference. If the temperature goes above or below your ranges, it sends an alert to your phone. Alerts can cover via text message and/or e-mail. We do both as a precautionary measure. We also set the tone for Govee notifications specifically to that we know when it comes from the Govee and not a family, friend or regular text message. 3) The Govee comes with two (2) monitors. This was great since we use one (1) in the living area and one (1) in the bedroom area. 4) The Govee connects to both the Android and the iPhone phones via their app. The app works simultaneously, so if we are in two (2) separate locations we can both monitor the temps from our phones. 5) The app not only gives you a temperature reading in real time, but it also provides you with a history of temperature reading so if there are any “wonky” temperature readings, you can scroll back a couple of hours to see what the temperature readings were. This is helpful to trouble shoot any potential problems. Cons: 1) The temperature reading can sometimes be off by 1-2 degrees. There is a way you can calibrate the Govee to the exact temperature, but I still found it to be inaccurate even after the calibration. I know this because I purchased a digital thermometer that I have close to our camera system. With the inexpensive digital thermometer, I can zoom in on the digital temperature reading and I have noticed that there have been occasions where the Govee temperature reads 1-2 degrees +/- from the reading on the digital thermometer. This was frustrating at first, but for what we use it for 1-2 degrees is an acceptable deviance in temperature. We set the higher temperature range on the Govee at 73 degrees. In a scenario where the Govee displays a temperature reading of 72 or 75 degrees in the camper for a consistent period of time, we know there might be a problem, especially since we leave the air condition running when we are away from the camper. If we see a temperature range near or above the high range or near or below the low range, we are heading back to the campground. By purchasing the Govee to monitor the temperature and humidity combined with the separate camera system to watch what is going on inside the camper, as well as the inexpensive digital thermometer we saved a ton of money over the long run by not having to subscribe to an expensive subscription system. Overall, I rate the Govee WiFi Temperature Sensor four (4) stars due to the slight deviance in the temperature reading.

All good except it's slow to update the latest values. Always has to wait a certain time after opening the app in order to get the temperatures and humidity log. The android widget is fine but sometime doesn't sync on time. I set it for 1 hour intervals but often it doesn't update the temperature until 2 hours or so and I have to manually hit the update button on the widget. Battery still runing good for 10 months now
