Excellent Thermometer
Number of Items: 1
Easy to use and does what it's supposed to. Setting it up with Wifi was a breeze as welll. I use this in my main attic to monitor temps up there. It was especially useful when the insulation was refreshed and I wanted to make sure the soffit vents were still working as before. Turns out the company wasn't as careful as they should've been around the corners and blocked several of the vents. This thermometer told me it was 5-10 degrees hotter, so I went up to investigate. The batteries last for-e-ver! I have it set to the 1 hour reporting time. All the temp/humidity data is there, it just updates the app once an hour. Big energy saver and the original batteries lasted over 2 years. If you need a faster refresh, just enable bluetooth on your phone and it will populate the app with up to the minute data. Govee products are all over my home and they haven't disappointed yet. ... show more

Great product. I had a moisture issue in my attic and added this to monitor temperature and humidity. does a great job. The wifi connection allows me to check on it from anywhere and get alarms when readings are out of a specified range which you can set.

Very Pleased With Govee Sensors
Number of Items: 1
I have ordered multiple Govee temperature-humidity sensors. I have three each of models H5075 (Bluetooth only with data display), H5051 (WiFi and Bluetooth with data display), and H5053 (older WiFi version with hub, no data display, but weather resistant). I also have one model H5179 (WiFi and Bluetooth with no data display). First, I would like to say that I was surprised and pleased by the accuracy (or, more precisely, the repeatability) of the data with these units. Before deploying them to their final locations, I lined them up next to each other to see how well they agreed on the temperature and humidity. They did so to within the specified accuracy, so I trust the specifications. (By contrast, when I have looked at racks of thermometers in stores, all in the same place, I have been struck by the wide range of readings, including some wild outliers.) I wanted to use one sensor outside. Models H5051 and H5075 clearly would not stand up to rain; I hoped that perhaps model H5179, which looked pretty well sealed, would. It did not; it died after the first heavy rain and never recovered. Govee does not claim that it can be exposed to rain, so I do not blame them. I report the fact here in order to save others from wasting their money on an unsuccessful experiment. Eventually I found on Amazon the older (obsolete?) model H5053 set. It is advertised as weather-resistant. I asked Govee about it, and they advised not exposing it directly to rain. I mounted it under a porch, near the outside but not directly exposed to rain. It has been running nicely for more than a month. In the end, I also ordered an Ambient weather station, whose temperature-humidity sensor does work with direct exposure to the elements. If you do not need to access the data when far from the sensors, the model H5075 units are to be preferred. They are much cheaper than the H5051 units with WiFi support. The Bluetooth-only units work very nicely in my home and on my phone when I am at home. I do wish that one had the option to display dewpoint temperature instead of or in addition to relative humidity. The firmware in the units probably cannot be updated, but the phone app could be improved to offer this option. I cannot comment on battery life, as I have not had the units long enough. Also, I do not use Alexa. One final comment. As others have reported, getting the units set up and configured is sometimes not as straightforward as one would like. I recommend patience and persistence. Sometimes initial attempts failed, but in the end all the units got connected. ... show more

A great product for "Peace of Mind" when leaving your pet
Number of Items: 2
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. ... show more

Critical Failure (but fixed)
Number of Items: 1
Update to original review below: Govee Technical Support says that it found the problem described below and pushed an update to all affected devices on August 21, 2021. Indeed, all four of my Govee devices are now functioning perfectly well. And the best part of it is that I had to do nothing... the problem just "corrected itself". I changed my rating from 1 star to 5 stars since the basic unit functionality is really very good. I am assuming that Govee did indeed really fix this issue and that in the future the units will not appear to have lost Wifi connectivity when they actually have not lost it. Thank you, Govee! Original Review: I have four of these Govee units running into two widely separated physical location. Each location uses Nest (by Google) WiFi routers. When it works, the Govee app reports the appropriate temperature and humidity data. However, sporadically, the Govee units report that they have lost WiFi connectability and stop reporting all data. At that point, if the Govee unit is local to you, you can use the app to correct this situation. However, if the Govee unit is not accessible from your location, it is useless until it can be accessed via Bluetooth from the app. All four of my units have gotten to this state, so it is not a particular physical device that has the problem. I used the words "the Govee units report that they have lost WiFi connectability" intentionally, because I believe that they actually have NOT lost WiFi communications ability. I think that there is a software bug that is leading to them reporting that, and to stop displaying data, even though it is not true. The Nest WiFi system monitors usage of all devices. It maintains data on devices (such as phones) even after they have completely physically disconnected. If the same device subsequently logs onto the Nest WiFi system, the statistics go into the same bucket. The Govee device is very clever and (presumably to save battery) completely disconnects from WiFi when it is not reporting data. However, each device seems to have a unique ID beginning with "ESP" and thus its WiFi usage can be tracked by the Nest WiFi system despite its complete disconnection from WiFi.. Much to my surprise, all of my Govee devices that are marked in the Govee app as not having WiFi connectability, regularly connect and upload and download data (presumably to a Govee server). Furthermore, their upload and download byte counts are approximately the same when the Govee app shows them as connectable to WiFi and when it shows as not connectable to WiFi. This would seem to indicate that the Govee device sometimes CAN connect to WiFi even when the Govee app shows that it cannot. It would seem that some event occurs to make the Govee app flag the device as not-connectable and not report data even though the device is actually connecting and apparently reporting data to the Govee servers. Govee support seems to be really good if you are having routine setup issues. They are patient and walk you through what you need to do. However, in this case, they suggested that I have "someone" that was local to the Govee device download the Govee app, connect via Bluetooth, and reset the WiFi connection. This is obviously not a viable solution for remote monitoring. Since the Govee units go to this state regularly (it seems to take about three or four weeks), it makes them effectively unusable for long-term monitoring. Which, I think, is a pity, since the unit itself really works and makes a lot of "sense" for remote monitoring. I have entertained the idea that there is something nefarious going on here, since these devices are placed in people's property, and connect on a regular basis to the Govee server. But it seems to me that is really a software bug. ... show more

BETTER PRODUCT QUALITY AND DURABILITY AND CUSTOMER AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT IS NEEDED
Number of Items: 1
Please, we have purchased and use many of your products. We have an unresolved issue for about 3 months. Whoever manages your Customer Service or Technical Department must be called for Customer Service and Technical Support Training. Any company which wants to lead the market does need, undoubtedly, to not only provide quality products but also backup those products or services with a Top-Quality Customer Service and Technical Support. Without both pursuing Excellence, that company will never be a leader on such industry. For 3 months we are calling and asking for help for a very simple issue: - Delete a H5179 Thermo-Hygrometer from an old account which we do not have access to the login email, so that we could properly add to our current Govee application which uses a new email address. On that new account we already have another H5179 Thermo-Hygrometer, but we need to add the one which remains under the old account. On our calls we pretty much begged the representatives for help, many times, and we issued tickets within the application. The only response we got was a call from Laura dated yesterday. We call back and had to wait for several minutes to then get Alex in the phone, which until today did not resolve our simple issue. Also, for your knowledge the previous two H5179 we had purchased via Amazon last year at this time ended up defective after 12 months and did not work even with new batteries. May be your H159’s are as bad as the “s”upport your company provides. We do hope that our negative experience, still to be followed by a Google review will lead you to make sure that those departments mentioned above receive proper Customer Excellence Training.
