Govee New WiFi Hygrometer Thermometer 3 Pack H5100001 & 1 pack Gateway

Excellent product. The function is very nice and allows me to monitor my home temperature and humidity even when I am on the road. I use it in every room including my garage. Set up is simple and fool proof. I have 8 sensors in my home. The app is nicely done, and works very well.

Easy setup, can trend data over time. Just got ever thing setup for wi - fi. Sensors are small about a tenth the size of other brand sensors. Tested remote access outside of home a mile away. Everything works! Nice feature is that you can calibrate each sensor for maximum accuracy to a known source. Cannot do this with common temp/humidity sensors. So you can get all the sensors reading the same. Using this as a remote system when I am away from home. Live at 7,000 ft and it can get cold in a hurry. I have a couple of weather systems and this was easiest to setup for remote monitoring. Data trending is great over a day, week, and month. Gave it 5 stars for easy setup, will see about reliability. Only gripe is you need a magnifying glass to read the manual. UPDATE 1 - Well it has been a week now. Spent a few days in Phoenix away from Flagstaff. Readings are reliable. Still 5 stars. UPDATE 2 - Well I added a second set of sensors and gateway. Now controlling 6 temp/humidity sensors. Called customer service which is a miracle as there a phone number; to see if a second gateway can be added. No problem it can.

The Govee app is pretty terrible. It's usually about five minutes behind on updates. There is a permanent exclamation mark over the wifi symbol, even when it eventually catches up. The app complains if I turn Bluetooth off on my phone, even though there is connectivity via the WiFi hub. Other than the little exclamation mark, which is permanently there anyway, there's no clear visual indication when a device has run out of battery. It just sits there on the dashboard reporting a temperature from a week ago. And the historic temperature feature is a pain to use, as it takes ten seconds or more to load the data, every single time, which gets boring. Oh, and to add insult to injury, the app has ads, so after paying reasonable money for this product, Govee still sees fit to extract a few more tenths of a cent of revenue from me at the cost of my convenience. The devices themselves seem well made, although the battery on one has died after just a couple of months. Perhaps it will do better with a new branded alkaline battery, we will see. In the end, it does the job, sort of, and there doesn't seem to to be anything better on the market, so though the app is fairly grim, I'm keeping the devices. Edit 7/17/2023 This is now working much better, so I added a star. Temperature data is now recent to withing two minutes as soon as I open the app, and the constant exclamation mark over the wifi symbol has gone away (though it does briefly recur every few minutes, for some reason) I didn't change anything. Maybe an app update fixed it. I will also add that what I called 'ads' can (I think) be completely disabled via 'banner' preferences. Viewing historical data is very slow, as I said in my original review. It seems historical data is pulled from the cloud, which I didn't realize at time of my review. I still don't know why that has to be so slow but, anyway, that's something of a bonus feature for me. The core feature of checking temps and humidity around my house is now reliable and fast.

I really like these thermometer/hygrometers. They are quite precise, displaying temperature and humidity to the tenth. The historical data is fantastic as well, as it's easy to look at trends over hours, days, weeks, months, or the entire year. Although I've only had them for a couple months, so no long-term experience yet. Initially, I tried one in the RV freezer, one in the RF refrigerator, and one in the RV living room. Yes, there is an "RV" trend there. We are camping out in the RV while the house is remodeled. Anyway, we wanted to monitor the temps in the freezer and fridge zone to ensure they were cooling to the right levels. And they were. And yes, the signal worked right through the refrigerator doors. The base unit was placed about 15 feet away under the dinette (cause that's where the outlet is). :) As the season progressed and it got much colder, we were more concerned with the temperatures around the freshwater tank and the underbelly area. And we were right to be concerned. The freshwater tank or the feed from the tank to the pump froze when we had the cold snap in early December (Oregon). How do I know it was the tank or tank line to the pump? Well, our RV has a feed hose with a cutoff valve right before the pump. So, I filled a bucket of water, put the feeder hose in the bucket, and ran the pump. Pressured right up and the sinks worked. So, frozen tank or feed line. Anyway, we skirted the RV with cellular foam board, put a small space heater underneath with a thermal switch, and placed the thermostats. One thermostat was hung under the frame in the now enclosed underside of the RV. One in the pump area with all the crazy water lines. And one just outside the RV hanging from an external panel. The lanyards came in handy for that. We were happy to see the underbelly temps come slowly back up above freezing. At this moment (22 Dec 22), it's 36.9 degrees in the underbelly, and 10.4 degrees just on the outside of the RV. And yes, the water unfroze, and everything works again. Yay! We carefully checked for any leaks and were happy to not find any. So, we really like the sensors. They are connected over our home network, so I can check them anywhere, anytime. The Govee app is nice and easy to use, and it's easy to add the devices. I did get one bum battery that died in the first week, but that inconsequential. The others are running strong. And they work fine with our Eneloop rechargeables. Small, precise, and wireless. Good stuff.

I picked up a set of Govee humidity and temp sensors to help me keep my house safer in Jan of 24. I love them, they're great little sensors, they were easy to set up and use. Unfortunately the gateway just up and stopped working a little over a week ago. I contacted Govee support hoping to be able to buy JUST a replacement gateway. Well, they don't sell just the gateway, but... I was a little surprised when they offered to just send me a replacement. Ok, Great. Problem solved. Now imagine how surprised, and very pleasantly so I might add, when they sent me a whole new SET, the gateway and 3 sensors. I will Definitely be looking at Govee to fulfill more of my smart home sensing and lighting needs in the future.

Bought the Govee 5100's with the gateway (x2) in addition to extra 5100's to monitor snake enclosures. Obviously a bit of an esoteric use but regardless, well within the indications of these sensors and functionality. Set-up is incredibly easy. The Govee app feels like you are about to play a video game rather than set up a system of sensors and other connected devices. Not quite the streamlined professional appearance but it's fine for what it is. The sensors connect to the app seamlessly (initially) and then connect to the gateway and wifi easily. No complaints at all. Unfortunately, I don't believe anyone buys these devices so that they can connect them to an app and then walk away. These are monitoring devices for a specific use. While these devices are not lab certified equipment (I trained in biochemistry and molecular biology), they are advertised to measure within reasonable accuracy. And here is ONE aspect where this product utterly fails. When I set these up, I noticed that I was getting readings that varied by 1-2 degrees F between sensors that were nearly side by side. I then bought a thermometer with an NIST certificate to measure against these devices. This more or less confirmed that they are accurate within typically +/- 1 degree F. For what I need it for, I decided that this was acceptable so I continued using the sensors. BUT......after about 2-3 months of using these sensors and gateways I started to notice that monitoring the snake enclosures remotely was becoming less reliable despite no changes in my home wifi network. Since I travel a lot for work, remote monitoring is considered essential for me and a large reason I bought this set-up. More and more frequently, when I tried to update the sensors remotely the wifi would not update through the gateway. THEN, I started to notice some of the sensors would not update despite the wifi gateway updating the other sensors (I'm using around 12-14 sensors). The battery would indicate full yet the sensors were not updating. Changing the battery would only fix the problem about half of the time. Deleting the device from the app and reinstalling it would fix it about half of the time. The problem though is that some of these sensors would just completely stop being found by bluetooth when you try to reinstall them. Govee support has been responsive and has agreed to replace the sensors (I have still to actually receive replacements) but honestly I have no trust or confidence in these sensors and am going to probably eat the money and find something else that is reliable. I don't need laboratory accuracy but I do need to trust that when I am away the sensors I am using are actually working, are going to work and are going to last longer than a couple months. Overall, definitely would NOT recommend this unless Govee makes some real changes.

I use these to monitor temperature and humidity in my leopard gecko enclosure and they work great and seem accurate. The WiFi connection is awesome because I can check readings anywhere, not just when I’m home. I also like that you can pair them with Govee plugs to automate other devices (like running a humidifier when humidity gets too low or shutting it off when it’s high). I liked them so much I bought more Govee sensors for other areas too, like tracking humidity in my plant room. Tons of uses for these.

This was the perfect solution for monitoring temperature and humidity in my terrarium. I highly recommend getting a mounting bracket. Genepi on Etsy custom designed a hexagon bracket for me so the sensor blends seamlessly with the natural elements in my terrarium. Check out the shop "GenepiGarage" on Etsy. The design they created for me is available for purchase off the shelf. Price was reasonable and shipping was fast. You can even customize the color. I also use these sensors to monitor the humidity near my indoor plants, and the hex design looks great there too. I'm not affiliated with the shop, just super impressed with the work. I really enjoy the functionality of these sensors. You can set up alarms for when conditions go outside of a set threshold, which is super useful. With the gateway you can even check remotely. This was such a game changer for my jumping spider terrarium, and I'll definitely be using these hygrometer/thermometers on future builds.
