Govee temperature sensors

Govee's small Bluetooth thermometers and hygrometers tell Sensa the temperature, and on most models the humidity, wherever you put them. A probe model in the fridge or freezer is a cheap way to keep an eye on your food.

How it connects​

Bluetooth. The sensor broadcasts its readings and needs no pairing. Sensa hears it through a Bluetooth Proxy, so add one of those first.

Add to Sensa Nomad​

Put a battery in the sensor. Open Settings, choose the Devices tab, tick it under Discovered and press Add Selected Devices. If it is not there yet, press Scan. Sensa names the model as soon as it hears it, for example Govee H5074 Mini Hygrometer.

See Adding devices for more.

What you see​

  • A temperature dial on the Climate tab.
  • Its reading in the header bar, if you switch on Show Temperature In Header on its row on the Devices tab. See Dashboards.

Good to know​

  • Models Sensa recognises: H5074, H5075, H5100 to H5106, H5108, H5110, H5174, H5177, H5178, H5179, H5182, H5183, H5184 and H5198.
  • They show as Unverified in the Devices list until we have run each model on our bench. They still work as far as the sensor allows. See Devices.
  • Its row on the Devices tab has Fridge, Freezer and Temperature Watch switches, so Sensa can warn you when it runs warm or changes fast. See Climate and food.
