Govee Indoor Hygrometer Thermometer H5075 with Bluetooth App Control

We run several of these around a 1500 sq ft house. One in the bathroom tracks humidity spikes so Home Assistant can detect shower use, another handles temp and humidity logging in the bedroom. I only installed the Govee app briefly, and it seemed useful. Instead these sensors broadcast one way to an ESPHome module set up as a BLE receiver for Home Assistant. The receiver picks them up from about 40 feet away through several walls, which covers our whole floor plan with a single ESP32. Readings are responsive and track closely with our Nest thermostat, so accuracy is good enough that I've never bothered trying to calibrate. They also run for months on rechargeable NiMH AAAs. The unit is big enough that it could easily fit AA batteries instead of AAAs which would stretch the runtime even further. Not a real problem, just a missed opportunity. If you want it to last longer, I'd recommend Energizer Lithium AAAs or similar. If you want cheap, reliable temp and humidity sensors for a smart home setup without a cloud account or hub, these are hard to beat. They work fine standalone with the LCD too.

I do not know how accurate it is. I use it to tell if my mini splits are working. Seems to accurately correlate to the set temp on the mini splits. Small. Light. Portable so I can place it at the location in the gym. Easy to read. Has an app but I don’t use it. My one issue is that it is not magnetic. Affordable and does its job

I bought these for my cat house and my dog room. This ensures me that everyone is warm or cool. It my way of regulating the temperature of the garage and certain parts of the house. It 100% accurate! The size is perfect because my camera can zoom in to read the temp as well. The instructions were easy! The functionality is self-explanatory! The product also appears to be durable. Well worth the money!

Update 18Jan2021: Just wanted to add a nifty use case for these. Here in the desert there are a lot of central AC units that are heat pumps to provide winter heat. Yes, this may not be Minnesota but to our thin blood 30 degrees is cold enough for house heat. I was wondering how often the heat kicks on during the day/night and how often and when it goes into defrost mode compared to outside and inside temps (I have four of these trackers total). So I used a magnetic hook to hang one of these on the metal vent in my den. Now I can see how often heat and defrost mode happens, when and for how long and the vent exhaust temp in relation to inside and outside temps (I have to export to CSV format to see all this graphed in one chart in Excel since you can only see the temperature graph of one logger at a time using the app). See picture for an example of the vent temperature using their supplied app. Update 25Dec2020: I have changed my review from 2 stars to 4 stars. I am still taking 1 star off for the requirement to sign up for an account and the pretty sketchy LCD display as far as viewing angles go. So why the increase from two to four stars? Over time I have decided that the value of being able to download the results in CSV format outweighs the need for an account to be able to do so. I have also decided that my primary use of these as trackers more than as temp displays changed my star deduction from 1 to1/2. Battery life seems great after the very short life of the manufacturer supplied batteries. I am getting at least 6 months if not longer out of a pair of batteries even in the harsh in car environment in the Phoenix area. I now have a total of 4 of these scattered about in different places. I think the price is right for the features and performance and I highly recommend these for anyone needing rudimentary temperature tracking abilities where the display is not a top priority. Original review: I bought two of these on Jan 15, 2020. The displays are almost completely useless from almost every angle and in almost all lighting conditions. Yes I tried new batteries. If you have ever experienced an LCD display where you are limited to small viewing angles, these seem to be an extreme of that. Unless you are not going to use the LCD display part of these thermometers and only use the logging of temp data and accessing via Bluetooth, I would look for a different option. Two stars deducted for the awful display. One more star deducted since it appears that you have to become a "Savvy User", i.e. sign up for some account in order to get the capability to export the CSV data files. Much of the app is dedicated to the social aspects of being a "Savvy User" including testing Govee devices, shopping (links to Govee products on Amazon), community support forum, etc. Otherwise the app is good enough to view graphs of temp data from your thermometers that you occasionally download via Bluetooth. 20 days worth of data are stored on the thermometer so if you do not want to have gaps in your data then you need to download at least every 20 days. The graph itself can be displayed by hour, day, week, month or year. You can also expand or compress the time frame displayed (X-axis) by using two finger to squeeze or spread the display. The vertical (Y-axis or temperature) scale doe not seem to have this capability but instead expands or compresses to fit the data for the range displayed. The mix and max within the displayed range are shown and you can also add a cursor (vertical line) that you can drag across the graph the shows time and temperature for that X-axis point on the graph. I have used this to track temperature swings in my beer fridge. I can download data without opening the door of the fridge from about 10 feet or less away. This has shown me that the fridge maintains temperature within about 1.5 degrees F and I can see that going from a lower shelf to the one above it (glass shelves) increases the temperature about 2 to 2.5 degrees. So from the bottom shelf to the top shelf is about 5 degrees spread. I also have one in my car (Phoenix, AZ area). I am curious what the in car temp range will be in the summer and whether this thermometer will handle the high temp extreme (the manual rates the operating temp as 32 to 122 degrees F). For accuracy I give it 5 stars since it seems to match other non-Govee thermometers that I would have sitting right next to it within about its rated +/-0.5 degree F rating. Battery life is suspect. Using the batteries supplied, they died in the one kept in the car in about 10 days. A fresh set of alkalines is still going after 21 days. Will update the review when I get a better idea of battery life. The one in the fridge is still going after 40 days using the supplied batteries. The value of this thermometer is great. The thermometer functions are great. I love the logging capabilities. The app works just fine on my 2 1/2 year old Huawei Android phone to download (via Bluetooth) temperature data. If the display was even just okay, I would give it 4 stars (1 star still deducted for not being able to export data without an account).

Items arrived as descibed, work great! Easy to sync with phone to track temps and humidity. Sturdy, good size, makes it easy to read, versatile to be used in various settings. I have them in a reptile tank and they stay in place perfectly. I have not tried if it has a magnetic back.

I love this hygrometer. I have it in my outdoor mini greenhouse and it works perfectly. I’ve had it for several weeks and the battery is still full (I use rechargeables). It’s relatively small but sturdy and very easy to read. It has a little kickstand in the back which makes it easy to see the screen clearly. I love the app and the Bluetooth range is pretty good. I like that the app will update the data even when I’m away from home or bluetooth is disconnected! Shows a ton of information and makes it really easy to tell when peak heat/humidity is.

Great Value! These Govee hygrometer thermometers are excellent. The 3-pack lets me monitor different rooms easily, the large LCD displays are clear, and Bluetooth connectivity with the app is seamless. I love the notifications, max/min tracking, and being able to export two years of data. Perfect for home, greenhouse, or any space where humidity matters. Accurate, reliable, and great value. Highly recommend!

It works very good for me. I get temperature and humidity readings in my Govee home app. Easy to sert up and use. Thank you.

Excelente produto! Sensor bem preciso, e boa qualidade de construção. Fiquei positivamente impressionada com a facilidade de uso do aplicativo e visualização dos dados. O equipamento armazena dados durante algum tempo (eu ainda não testei quanto tempo - mas pelo meu uso, pelo menos 24 horas), e depois os dados são facilmente baixados por bluetooth para o celular ou tablet, em forma de diversos tipos de visualização de gráficos. Recomendo bastante o produto!

Simple accurate

I received the device in a sealed box and good condition. The Govee Home app helps me calibrate the Hygrometer, check the battery status and keep track of past readings. I will purchase it again if I need one. If you think that the sensor reading is not accurate, you need to calibrate it. ADD: After using it, I bought a 2nd time for my bedroom. The one on the right has been calibrated when I first using it. The one on the left was the one I just received and without any calibration. As you can see, the readings on both devices is almost indentical.

Accurate readings. Easy for digital data transfer.

Me parece que el producto es bueno, no sé que tan fidedignas sean las mediciones, sin embargo es fácil de instalar y de obtener la información por Bluetooth. Sin duda lo recomiendo si requieres monitorear la temperatura de un lugar. Excelente atención de parte de Tienda Roja.
