Temperature and humidity meter

[Orchidtinkerer]

right I got myself a govee too and I am happy with the responsiveness, screen is just average, ie in the wrong light it is hard to read but that is minor.

What I am abit annoyed about trying to set it up is that they want to know my location, my phone number and my email address before I can set up the home app. This was not mentioned anywhere and why do they need all my info?
Is this correct? The app I downloaded and all I could find was only downloaded 200 times so something doesn't seem right...

I was going to post a side by side comparrison after letting them set for an hour but I want to know if I have downloaded the right app now so here is a quick picture of what you can expect after 10 minutes. Note these will not be accurate measurements as the meters need to adjust first but it gives you a good idea, most are withn +-5% - now look at the thermopro (the white one on the right). More than 20% off on humidity and it takes over an hour to change by like 10%

Try getting to the app directly from the website. That way you are sure to have the brand's app, and not some knockoff. I'm paranoid and usually do that when I need the app for a product. I just tried it for govee, and they have one app for all their products called govee home, with 500k+ downloads...(Android version)

I have a few models myself, 4 units are the same as yours; the one in the left. My discrepancy is about 5% un humidity in between one brand and the other, the Temp seams fine, but I have adjust my growing in winter to the base of those meters..meaning that is my point of reference. You have 3 out of 4 with similar data, that is a POR (point of reference)
Great chat though i think we all struggle with Temp/Hum/Light measurements.

Thanks for sharing!
