Govee WiFi Room Thermometer Hygrometer, Digital Temperature Humidity Meter | App Alerts, 50m 2.4GHz WiFi Transmission Range, 2-Year Free Data Storage and Export, for Baby Room, Home, Garage, Greenhouse

This is a really good product and has been very useful for monitoring both moisture and temperature in my shed. I keep a lot of tools and electrical equipment in there, so being able to track conditions properly gives real peace of mind. The readings seem accurate and update quickly. Super easy to setup in their app and all the data at your finger tips including yearly. The WiFi and app features make it especially useful. Being able to check the shed remotely and see historical data is fantastic, and alerts are handy if humidity or temperature moves outside safe levels. The device itself feels well made and discreet. It’s not the cheapest option, but the quality and smart functionality make it very good value for money. A great solution if you want reliable remote monitoring for sheds, garages or storage spaces.

This is a great little device. I have one in my mini greenhouse where I grow chilli plants which are quite sensitive to temperature. I've had to use a small fan heater recently due to cold nights and this unit is great for monitoring the heating/temperature drop cycles as the thermostat cuts in and out. Also great during the day as the sun warms the grow space. You can set alerts direct to your 'phone/email once a certain temperature is exceeded. Then you can act and open up the ventilation/shut off the heater, or whatever. As well as temperature and humidity you can monitor Vapour Pressure Deficit as well - as I understand it, a good measure of the amount of drying power the air has on your plants and how much moisture the air sucks out of them. You get graphs on the app showing the trends in temperature, humidity, dew point and VPD. Mine was still working well in 59C inside the greenhouse. I believe the spec says they're ok up to 60 Celsius. They do take a bit of time to update and load data to your 'phone over the web in practice; it's not quite real time, but good enough. The device is easy to set up and the app is better than most of the connected home apps around. You do need to set up a free account but as far as I can see it's pretty hassle free. Nice product - well packaged, good form factor and works well with a good app. Have already bought another.

Great product! Have yet to see for how long the sensors will survive in the environment I am using them in: a build site which is not heated yet (in the Balkans) but which is protected from the elements. One sensor is mounted inside the rack where I have some live electrical equipment (CCTV NVRs, Wireless router, POE power injector etc), while the other sensor lives outside the rack and measures the ambient air values in the room where the rack is mounted. Love the fact that the temp sensor can be manually calibrated (have not yet been to a calibrated weather station to calibrate my sensors but will do that soon). Worth mentioning that when I unboxed both govee sensor and left them to acclimatize for about 2 hrs, they displayed temperature differences of about 1.1⁰C. I have then averaged out this difference by reducing the temperature reading on one sensor by 0.6⁰C while manually increasing/adjusting the temperature on the other sensor by 0.5⁰C. One aspect I wish I had paid more attention to prior making this purchase is the fact that this specific hardware model (based off of my post purchase further research) does not support setting custom temperature thresholds/alams. This is one of the functionalities I wish I had. Hardware I use is: Govee H5179 (2x pack). Price at time of purchase was: £33.98 (on 14th Dec 2025). Device feels heavy as takes 3x AA batteries (all batteries were included in the pack). App is nice and intuitive. Firmware updates are easy. Remote connection is simple via Govee app. Have found that the measured values refresh rate (10min/30min/1hr) can only be set when you're on site and connect to the device via Bluetooth (can not be adjusted remotely via internet). Love the "Multi-device data comparison" function within the app (only works when you have two or more govee devices adopted in the app). Hope this helps whoever considers making this purchase.

Sorks very well and seems to be accurate. Very easy to set up and WiFi connects very well even outside in my shed/workshop the only issue is when trying to load the history it seems to take a very long time (few minutes) to transfer the data to the app. I have been using it for 7 months now and the batteries are still showing 100% so I would guess they should last a couple years at least but will have to see how they hold up through the cold months. The only thing I do wish it had was a little screen so I could have a quick glance at the temp.

I bought this temperature sensor in order to be able to monitor my inside house room temperature during the winter period and to be able to switch on a portable oil filled radiator set at <15C if needed. Perhaps being overcautious but I don’t want any burst water pipes if the temperature dropped suddenly if I wasn’t at home. I have checked it and it works using Bluetooth an WIFI when away from home. Setting up using instructions provided and you should be okay. I can highly recommend this product thanks to its WIFI capabilities 👍👍👍👍

This is a great thermometer and humidity device provides accurate information. I have one indoors and one outdoors and they connect back to the app seamlessly and I have them running in Home Assistant providing all the data that I need battery life seems great and connectivity is solid.

Took some time to connect to WiFi, but with lots of help from Mandy at customer services finally got it connected. Now its up and running definitely value for money. Perfect for us to monitor our boat for temperature and humidity, as home is 300 miles from Marina.

A real disappointment. The device itself seem built to a decent quality standard, whilst the functionality of the Govee Home app used to access it appears better than that of similar products and is, in itself, exactly what I was looking for. The very reasonable price point sealed the deal for me. However. The problem for me starts and ends with the Govee Home mobile application, this being the only means by which the device can be setup and the collected data viewed/exported. Despite claims by the seller to the contrary (see the question section) this WILL NOT WORK AT ALL if you do not grant the app access to the Location service on your phone (Android, in my case). This is completely unnecessary. Whilst I accept that technically, it may be necessary to enable access to Location services on some phones in order to use BLUETOOTH, it most certainly isn't for Wifi access. So once the unit is initially setup with the correct wifi SSID and password (which is done here over bluetooth), there is no legitimate reason for it to continue to insist on having access to Location services, and with it your current location. This is how other such devices from reasonably well known automation vendors work, including Neos, Gosund and TP-Link Tapo, all of which I own and none of which insist on having this privilege to provide remote access over wifi. To be clear, you cannot even start the app without it blocking further access without turning on Location services for it. So I'm left wondering, does the vendor a) want to use my location data (inc. GPS) without my consent or knowledge for purposes "undefined", or b) do they simply not care about customer's privacy issues? I can't answer that, and that's the problem - so it goes back to Amazon. I'll also note that when I emailed Govee technical support for them to confirm my findings that the app does require location access to even start, within a few minutes of sending the email from a "burner" email address I very rarely use, I received another email to it confirming that it had been used to sign-up to an online service I don't recognise and certainly didn't sign up for myself. Needless to say, this has done nothing to alleviate my concerns about data privacy with Govee. A real shame, it could and should be a perfect solution at this price point. If you're not concerned about such things, this could be the wifi thermometer for you.
