Product Details
Govee Wi-Fi Thermometer Hygrometer
A battery-powered temperature and humidity sensor with a clear LCD display – and Wi-Fi connectivity. The Wi-Fi version means you can check the temperature in your bedroom, baby’s room, or storage area from your phone anywhere in the world. Bluetooth-only sensors stop working the moment you leave the house.
Useful for: vacation homes you visit occasionally, server closets, wine fridge areas, baby’s room while you’re at work, basements, plant rooms.
Why people buy it (vs the Bluetooth version)
- Check from anywhere – the Bluetooth model only works within ~10 m. This Wi-Fi version sends data over your internet, so you check from outside Lebanon if you want.
- Remote alerts – get phone notifications the moment temperature or humidity crosses your set limits, even when you’re away.
- 20-day history graph – see trends, not just current readings. Catch slow climate problems before they become obvious.
- LCD display – read the temperature at a glance without opening your phone.
Key Features
- Swiss sensor – ±0.3°C temperature, ±3% humidity accuracy.
- Clear LCD display – temperature and humidity visible from across the room.
- Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) – check from anywhere via the Govee Home app.
- Remote alerts – phone notifications when readings go out of range, anywhere in the world.
- 20-day history – graphs and trends in the app.
- Battery-powered (AAA batteries) – place anywhere with no wires.
- Compact – sits on a shelf, desk, or wall-mounts.
💡 Pro Tip: If you have a vacation home in Lebanon you visit occasionally, place one of these in the main room. You’ll get a phone alert if temperatures crash in winter (pipes about to freeze) or rise dangerously in summer. By the time you arrive, you already know what state the house is in.
⭐ Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the Bluetooth-only Govee thermometer?
The Bluetooth version only sends data within ~10 m and you have to be home to check. This Wi-Fi version sends to the cloud – check from work, from another country, anywhere. Plus you get push notifications when the room goes outside your comfort range.
Does the LCD display work without Wi-Fi?
Yes – the display always shows live readings regardless of Wi-Fi status. Wi-Fi only affects whether the data gets to your phone.
What Wi-Fi does it need?
2.4 GHz only – not 5 GHz. Most home routers broadcast both; make sure 2.4 GHz is enabled when pairing. Works fine with TP-Link, ZTE, Touch routers, etc.
How accurate is it?
±0.3°C temperature and ±3% humidity – factory-calibrated, no recalibration needed. The sensor is Swiss-made and very stable over time.
Can I recalibrate it if readings drift?
Check the app for calibration options under device settings. It’s factory-calibrated, but you can apply small offsets if you find it’s slightly off vs a known reference.
Is it suitable for outdoor or high-dust environments?
It’s designed for indoor use – not rated for dust or weather. For agricultural / plastic-house projects with high dust and humidity, look at outdoor-rated sensors instead.
How long does the battery last?
Several months on standard AAA batteries (included). Battery life depends on how often the device communicates with Wi-Fi.
How do I set it up?
Download the Govee Home app, create an account, plug in batteries, follow the in-app setup. Takes about 2 minutes.
Can I buy multiple?
Yes – buy as many as you need. Each pairs to the same Govee Home account, and you see all of them in one dashboard.
