Reliable smart monitor that’s perfect for keeping an eye on a shed
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.

Good functionality, feels premium
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.

Works really well - great for gardeners
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 little device
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.

Fantastic and accurate
Have to retry once or twice to connect but made it work. Frequent updates on demand meant I can easily track the temp and humidity in different rooms. Shows the humidity changes in a bathroom. Good value compared to other similar products whilst not requiring a hub. The only con is missing matter compatibility.

👍
Works OK. Have to use the Govee app to set up but integrates well.

Very happy with yet another Goveee product for me
I got two of these thermometers. Setting up was nice and easy, I already have several lights from Govee and just added them to my app. The cool thing is that if you know the temps are off you can "calibrate" these thermometers from within the app. There is Youtube video how to do this. Very easy, just press the + or - button on the side of the temp. I was a bit worried that constant Bluetooth connection will be required on top of having the WIFi turned on but that is not the case- I only have WiFi on on my phone and the temps are accurate. There is no display o the product so all statistics have to be checked on the phone but hey- it is what it is. I checked the temps accurateness against my old fashioned thermometer (one with liquid inside) and the WiFi thermometers eventually came very close to it- 0.7 degrees difference. Very happy with these 2. I might grab some more for the balcony and my parents in future. Thank you, Govee.
