I bought two of these when they were on offer (paid 17.49 for two). I also bought three “Switchbot” outdoor thermo hygrometers. As far as I can see, both devices use high accuracy sensor devices from Swiss manufacturer Sensirion, which is why I bought them. Looking at the data, the claimed accuracy seems reasonable. I prefer the Govee units because (a) the app is a bit more polished and (b) the Switchbot devices only report RH as an integer whereas the Govee units give you 1 decimal place of resolution. See the RH graph which I have attached which compares data from 3 Switchbot units and 2 Govee units.
Govee products are always great value for money and this one is no exception. It’s pretty small, but good build quality and nice screen – the app is honestly very good, the thermometer paired instantly with no fuss and it syncs quickly. The data is great, seems accurate, and the graphs of temperature and humidity on the app are nice to have.
I mainly bought this to pair with the Govee humidifier and it works seamlessly – the Govee ecosystem seems to be on par with Apple honestly. Once the thermometer is linked to the app, I just linked it with the humidifier and job done – the humidifier automatically turns on and off to keep my humidity setting.
Absolutely fantastic bit of kit!
Pretty good – so good I ordered 4 more, and with a further 40% price reduction on two of them (wish I’d spotted that earlier).
Definitely recommended.
The software briefly had issues with connecting, possibly related to having two devices waiting to be paired but the third device was added easily. There doesn’t appear to be any means of downloading the recorded data but that may appear once I’ve set up an account.
The display is excellent – first time I’d seem an E-Ink display and it couldn’t be clearer, at any viewing angle.
Accuracy appears good – two units in the same location displayed the temperature within 0.1 C of each other with identical humidity readings (the app showed they were within 0.2 %).
The app provides a calibration facility which allows the temperature and humidity readings to be tweaked up or down, compensating for inaccuracies. Without some known standard this is likely more useful to eliminate the minor reading differences between devices at the same location.
I’m not sure why some appear to have had issues with accessing the battery.
On the base (the thicker end) is a small slot. Holding the unit face down with the slot nearest to you, Insert the tip of a small flat-bladed screwdriver and gently twist – the lid will pop open and can be lifted off. Remove the tab under the battery and position the lid using its locating pegs inside the unit and press it into place.
Likewise with the device falling over.
A sticky pad is provided which is large enough to fit on the back of the device so if you want it to reliably stand upright, cut a small strip off the pad and use that on the base.
Nice device, the e-ink display stands out nicely. Deices seem consistentlt calibrated.
Others have mentioned the challange of getting the back ouff to activate the battery ( just gently ease around the back seam).
Liked them so much that I bought another three!
Much nicer than the last one I bought which was larger and had a black surround, and which I resented having to display when it didn’t meet the style on my interior decor.
