Govee Bluetooth Thermometer Hygrometer, Instant Read Indoor Digital Humidity Temperature Monitor with APP Alert, 2 Year Data Record and Export, for Home Greenhouse Incubator Humidor and Nursery Room

I have five of these and they have been reliable, accurate with good connectivity. I wasn't sure about using them outdoors and it was hard to get a clear answer from reading the reviews and questions. I have been using two outdoors, one is attached to wall under an eave where no moisture gets to it directly and in a garage. They both work very well outdoors. We live in the Northwest so our weather is not as extreme perhaps as in other parts of the country.

Very nice to have in the upstairs of my house where it is usually colder. Easy to set up and connect to my phone to monitor the temperature.

i've been looking for something to monitor our newborn's bedroom. we live in a hot climate, so we have to make sure the room is ideally 69-71F to set an ideal sleep environment for the baby (according to our pediatrician). anything we can do to encourage sleepiness is great as we already hate fighting with her to go to sleep. prior to this device, i would try to position a hygrometer/thermometer near the baby cam so i could try to read that remotely or locally. not very easy to read those displays on a low res cam.when i saw this product--i immediately saw how applicable it could be to our lives. for the most part, it does all the heavy lifting of what i require. it reports temperature fairly actively and i can monitor the current stats as well as history from a distance on my phone app.here are the things i wish they might improve in the offering (in order of preference if i could talk to the developer)1. range of the bluetooth is limited. i have to stand within 3 feet of the device (stuck to the head of the crib) to get the data to download to my main phone (samsung note 8). if i have a wall and a door closed inbetween, no bueno. for some reason, the app on my older tab s pro which often is worse on most connectivity items can read the device from about 15 feet with the door closed. nothing as lame as having to have to move our devices around the hallway/house see if we can pick up the data from the device. ideally, i'd like the connectivity to be really strong and reliable--which is asking a lot from a device working off battery. i think if this thing were broadcasting on wifi, which might be more robust? that would be a real winner. i saw on the app you can set it up to work with their wifi device--but i couldn't find that wifi device for sale anywhere yet (Wi-Fi Thermo-Hygrometer H5051).2. i'm not sure about the calibration. in comparison to my other thermometers, it reads about 1.2 degrees too low. of course, temperature is sort of a relative thing for my application--so i shouldn't be so obsessed. yet, i am. for the first many days i would check to see the device calibration--not exactly a great trust exercise. of course, i would love it more if it just was perfectly calibrated out of the box--like how one might expect that from a swiss scientific device or a thermapen. note: the calibration one does on the app only changes the app readings. but the physical device taped to the crib still reads the original temperature even after calibration.3. the app does the basics--gives you history. but it would be really nice to be able to set the scale and fix it statically so it doesn't keep adjusting as i scroll through history. i'm only concerned about temps within a certain range (65-80) so i don't want to see all the leaps within 74.0 and 74.5 which make it look like the readings are going crazy all over the place. lastly, once in awhile, the device will pick up a skewed number--say a 0 or a 100 degrees--and that just shatters the readability of the graph as the axises will then adjust to that outlying number. then you have to delete all the info and reinstall it, hoping another outlier doesn't happen soon.4. lastly--i've been looking for a way to export the data--and haven't found it yet. i mean, the kind of person who is into paying extra for this sort of device is hungry for data--and probably would love to export it to a spreadsheet once in a great while.i think this device satisfies a unique niche. if it can improve its usability, it would go from a borderline keep/return to a strong recommend.

The short:Great all-around indoor thermostat/hydrometer.Small footprint and feature rich.Intuitive and informative app.Great purchase. Highly recommended. A lot of bang for the buck here folks. The versatility of the size and the feature packed app has a ton to offer within a simple and easy to use packageThe long:This unit has a small footprint and can be hung on the wall or placed on a flat surface with the included stand. The stand is sturdy and angles the display for better viewing contrast. No back lights, which is a missed opportunity in my view; but the display is big and easy to read in proper lighting. A button in the front allows you to change from Fahrenheit to Celsius. The overall height and weight lend itself to be placed anywhere with very little aesthetic impact to the rest of the room.The Bluetooth connection is strong. I get full signal to my phone anywhere in my 1200 sq.ft. raised ranch home. The included 3 AAA batteries lasts a long time. I have replaced once set since I purchased the first one in 2019 and have yet to change the set it came with in my second unit in 2021. This model doesn’t offer WIFI, but I don’t miss it at all. I can see the house temperature with my HVAC WIFI thermostat (Waze V1 Review to come!) if I need to know the temp while away. the thermostat saves historical data on board the unit which is an awesome feature I wasn’t expecting. More on that and the app next.The app is great. There is a lot to explore, and the Trends are impressive. The ability to look at temperature changes over a specific period is a great tool. The trends have tabs for hours, day’s, months, weeks, and years. I did not make the first purchase with any real idea the type of information It provides; but I find it almost indispensable. For example, being able to see my 6-month old’s nursery temperature and humidity in real time, plus having the ability to look at overnight temperatures and humidity changes is pretty cool. The nursery faces south and gets all day sun, the room also gets particularly cold at night. While a couple of degrees wouldn’t make a difference to my 7-year-old; That couple of degrees could make the difference between the baby sleeping until 6:00am or a 3:00AM wake up call. I can set the house thermostat or open a window a crack accordingly. There is an iPhone widget available, and it is a nice feature. Separate widgets can be set up for multiple devices and is easy to read. It can take a couple of seconds to update but an unexpected addition, nonetheless. the app also has other smart devices that you can purchase separately and then connected through the app.Some other things I use these for:Indoor herb drying room.Monitor real time room temperatures in various spots while pellet stove is running or electric heater in below grade playroom.Checking Attic/basement for temperature/humidity levels to monitor and identify potential mold problems.Calibrating new thermostats.
