For greenhouse & incubators : Patio, Lawn & Garden Review: Great for keeping track of cigar humidor - I’ve had the H5074 for three years or more, so I figure I owe a review. Unlike a lot of the reviews I see here, I have a very limited — but important — use for this thing. I have a large free standing cigar humidor in my upstairs study. But we live downstairs. And since I’m now retired, I am rarely upstairs checking on the humidity in the humidor where many scores of cigars reside. I say scores, but it has to be a couple hundred cigars. They mean a lot to me even though I do not smoke many any more. But it’s nice to know they’re there, waiting for me to smoke them or to provide them to a guest. Anyway. the point is that I easily keep track of my cigars’ health with this Govee. It is very reliable and well worth the expenditure. I highly recommend it Review: I love these, but they aren't perfect - I love these. I have been using these Govee sensors for nearly three months now. I have 9 of them set up in my reptile/amphibian enclosures. I think they work for what they are, but they aren't perfect. Removing the battery tab and setting them up is really easy. You need to have their app. It walks you through setting them up. I had a problem ONE time with a sensor not turning on. These units are not sealed shut. You can open them with little effort (i pulled it apart with my fingers). The board inside is not adhered in. You can pull it out and adjust the battery with no problems. Once I did this, the unit worked fine. I have checked the accuracy by comparing the temperature with 2 standalone temp/hygrometers. One from accurite (commonly recommend by reptile groups) and one from La Crosse Technologies. What I found is that the sensor is accurate within 3 +/- degrees and 1-5% humidity. They do take some time to update. For example....if you spray your tanks, it can take 3-4 minutes for the adjustment in humidity to reflect on the app. The connection is via Bluetooth. You will not get readings while you are "away", but you will get data from when you were gone when you connect. The biggest problem that I have with these is that the information does not always update in the background or when opening the app. Sometimes, I will show readings on the home page from 2 different days. I have to click on each individual device for it to connect and update the information to current. This tends to be a problem maybe 2 times a week. The app has some features that are kind of social in nature. They have testing offers, promote products, do giveaways, etc. I don't really use this.... I don't really care what Stanger I've never met named Steve in California did to his van with the strip lights that Govee sells. Happy for him if he's happy, but otherwise I just don't care. I needed to contact support one time because the app offers coupon codes from time to time. When I attempted to use the code, it would not let me. I contacted support. They were... not super helpful. The communication seems to be a language barrier. If I had problems with the units themselves, I can see this being a big issue. Overall, pretty happy with these. I bought my first one at full price but have gotten the rest on sale. I recommend waiting for sale prices. ## Features - Smart App Control: Easily monitor temperature and humidity in real-time on the app. 262ft connecting distance (no obstacles) allows you to quickly get data remotely from anywhere in your home.

That said, I've been using a Govee H5074 for two months this to monitor the temperature of a small refrigerator in my car (typically set to 34° F/1° C), and it has worked very well despite having to transmit through the metal refrigerator case and the steel car body. I routinely check it from 10-20 feet away; I haven't tried any further away than that. Now, maybe I'll have to swap batteries every six months. But this little device works so well (thanks in large part to Govee's well-designed iOS app) that I'll cheerfully pay that price if I have to. They do make a more robust weatherproof model, H5041, but it costs more than twice as much and uses a plug-in (120/240 VAC) Wi-Fi router. As an RVer, I try to avoid anything that can't run on 12 VDC. But the H5074 doesn't even need that--it's self-contained, and only needs a smartphone or tablet. It suits my needs perfectly. **Q: Is it possible to connect more than one app/phone to a single device?** A: I have the app on three different Android devices. When one phone is connected to the sensor, other phones do not show the Bluetooth indicator to the left of the battery indicator and do not show the current temp. When I leave the first connection alone, the sensor gets disconnected eventually, and other phones can access the sonsor. It takes me about 20 seconds to access the current temperature and about 30 seconds further to load one day worth of data. **Q: Can I create custom alerts for temperature variation? For example: notification every time there is a 10ºC variation during the day.** A: You can set both a max temp value and a low temp value. When the temp goes out of the range you set, you can receive a push notification.

This just involves setting up the "home screen" of the pad with widgets from various apps like weather, calendar, etc. Using iOS widgets lets me make a flexible, easy-to-read display that's user friendly without any special software or setup. Importantly, it uses BT instead of WiFi, since I don't have a router in my RV. It mostly gets the job done and for the money it's hard to complain. It could be a little better, though. WIDGETS I chose the Govee over all others because it was the only option I found that offered iOS widgets. The widget has Dark and Light mode versions, which is nice. There are small, medium, and large sizes. The small can display one sensor; the other two display multiple sensors. You get sensor name, date and time, picture of the device, temp readout, and humidity readout...which is actually too much. This does meet my needs, but I'm disappointed that the most important info -- the temp and humidity -- are very small and hard to see due to sharing space with all that extra info, and especially the picture of the device, which is *pointless since it never changes*. Widgets should display whatever the app specializes in ONLY, not a whole cluster of the same redundant info I can get anywhere else. It's like having the clock on the wall, on the microwave, on the DVD player, on the coffee maker... I'd prefer to see only device name and measurements. The smallest widget would ideally (for me) show just one user-chosen measurement, allowing very customizable and easy-to-read layouts. The other widget sizes are better suited to fitting in more measurements and/or more sensors. I hope Govee will add easier-to-read widget options in a future app update. PERFORMANCE Aside from this, the device itself performs fine. I have no "calibrated" thermometer to compare it with, but the numbers agree with various other devices and they update often. If I pick it up in my hand I see the temp go up pretty much right away. I'm happy with how compact it is. Setup was fast and easy. No registration or signup required to add the device to the app, and connecting to the sensor went smoothly. I The instructions are written in a way that seems like you can add a sensor directly from the app, but in iOS at least you need to pair to the sensor in Settings (the conventional way) before the app will see it. This is plenty easy. I have my sensor in an exterior compartment that's enclosed in metal. It's only about 10 feet from my pad but there's quite a lot of obstructions between them, and I have no trouble with the connection. INSTALLATION The device itself is surprisingly small; only a little larger than its widget displaying on my iPad! This makes it easy to slip into just about any spot. The only physical change I suggest to the case is a second mounting hole, which would make it much easier to secure against movement and vibration. The hole is located on a face that's angled so if you try to (lightly) secure it with a screw, it doesn't sit flat - the beveled edges of the case make it "wheelie". A second hole (or simpler case design) would help with that. BATTERY The batteries are CR2477 coin cells, which are a rather large and totally unfamiliar size of coin cell for me in the US. One cell is about the size of 4 US quarters stacked up. These are tough to find in local stores (though of course AMZ has them) but their energy capacity is almost 5 times that of a common CR2032 so I expect they will last quite a while -- though I haven't had it long enough to say. I don't know if it sends a "low batt" message to the app/widget (but that'd be a nice feature). ## Frequently Bought Together - Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer, Wireless Thermometer, Mini Humidity Sensor with Notification Alert, Data Storage and Export, 262 Feet Connecting Range - Boveda for Cigars | One-Step Calibration Kit | Preloaded with 75% RH Humidity Control Pack | Precise Salt Test for Digital and Analog Hygrometers and Humidity Sensors | 1-count - Boveda 69% Two-Way Humidity Control Packs For Plastic and Wood Containers Size 60 – 4 Pack – Moisture Absorbers – Humidifier Packs – Hydration Packets in Resealable Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/135318013-govee-smart-bluetooth-thermometer-hygrometer-h5074-mini-humidity-sensor-monitor](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/135318013-govee-smart-bluetooth-thermometer-hygrometer-h5074-mini-humidity-sensor-monitor) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
