Wireless Thermometer and Hygrometer.

[Monties1982]

While looking at the Govee hygrometer on Amazon, I came across this other one.

Ohhhhh boy I like this thing.

Even though it's tell me I need to setup the fogger or something again .

Night mist does nothing .

I will keep an eye out through the night though.

The sensor is mounted, around cage top ATM, so humidity is higher lower down. However he has taken to sleeping up there as of recent so.

Dang it cyber you made me cave. Haha jk

Just installed mine today. We’ll see how it goes.

Btw peeps the battery is replaceable. Just gotta pop the device open. I didn’t know this until reading the manual. Soooo in case some of you didn’t then here you go

I’m def watching this thread closely. Looking forward to everyone’s updates on these.

I misread an earlier statement that they had a wifi adapter. I did look at their other option previously but the wifi version got iffy reviews. I am mostly concerned with tge greenhouse, which can have wild temp swings and kill all my plants. I’d like to be able to monitor away from home.

The bluetooth sensors would be great for the cham cages, though. If I end up getting something for the greenhouse, though, might as well make them all wifi.

I just got mine early this morning and have been watching how it does! I’m loving it so far!

Right after...

They are stock calibrated to 3% accuracy. You can calibrate to perfect though, using calbriation packs, and I think @nightanole mentioned a DIY calibration.

Why do you think it wasn't calbritated?

I put it in a box with my hygrometer and that groove one, let the fogger run for 20 mins. Hygrometer read 99%
Groove read 84%

What is "My hygrometer" ?

If it's a reptile one, they are terribly inaccurate. Depends how foggy the box was. Just because there is a fogger running doesn't mean 99%.

The reptile ones are even more not accurate as you get higher.

Hopefully night will chime in with the test soon.

Now he tells me, after I hide mine in the Viv...

Looks like so have to pull it out and get some salt now.

I'm curious how all of you who have purchased one of these for your enclosures protect them from water spray and excess moisture?

My first one, I put high up, above the misters spray. And now I moved it down a little.

I have cork wall tiles, so I cut a hole out and it press fits into the hole, and then I screwed a piece of cork, to cover it from appearance and mist, but it still let's plenty of airflow in there.


I did however move it lower, before covering it up. It got SOAKED and seemed to be fine. The hole for the sensor is pretty small, it would be hard to get water in there.

I didn't really do anything. I tried to have them positioned where they are not getting blasted with water, but mine are just tied to some vines. So far, no issues.

Never thought of that...... I spray the f out of mine, if it breaks it wasn’t meant to be

I've been using the GOVEE home about 6 months now.

They do run through batteries, and occasionally get a crazy low or high reading which throws off the averages. Other than that I like it, and will be using it in future builds.

How’s everyone feel about their govee a month later? Anyone have any issues thus far?
