Updated Review: After leaving my original review, the seller contacted me to see what they could do to make it right. This shows that they stand behind their product. As a result, I am updating this to 5 stars.Original Review: I like that I can graph the temperature over time. I have it on the battery saving mode and have not replaced batteries yet since I bought it 4 months ago. No water problem inside yet either. But usually after a couple years these do, so we will see. My gripe with this is that they do not have integration with Home Assistant. Would be good to see the pool temperature in my dashboard and create automations. They have not been responsive to reaching out about this feature either, hence why only 3 stars.

I was using the old reliable Walmart floating duck thermometer for a few years until I found this Govee device. All I can say is that it works very well and the setup was easy. I connected the gateway to my cellphone and added my wifi connection. Paired the gateway to the floating wireless thermometer and voila. I even added a widget to my iPhone and Apple Watch to always see what my water temp is at any time. The app also allows you to set notifications for min and max temps, and track/ extract historical information. I live about an hour north of Houston TX where summers can get quite hot. However my pool temps have never been above 86, whereas 80 is quite cold. My wife freezes in anything less than 80. So it’s nice to know the exact temp.I can only imagine what other uses this wireless thermometer has. It’s been about 4 weeks now and so far the triple A batteries in the floating device are holding strong.My only dislike is the lanyard it comes with for securing to the edge of your pool. I made a longer lanyard from some 550 paracord, knotted at both ends and secured to one of my skimmer lids.

This thing works really great and at long distance too. My pool has to be somewhere around 300 feet from my house and it still connects to the gateway just fine and I never have any connection problems. The temperature seems to be on point after calibrating. It was 2° lower than it should’ve been. I love that it is Wi-Fi and very easy to read the temperature just from your phone. The design and quality of the build seems to be there as are all of Govee’s products. I have at least 80 of them and all of them are quality except for maybe a couple of them I don’t like.Anyways, five stars for sure it does what it is supposed to do. Read temperature!

Connection was easy, temp accurate. Problem I'm having is, the initial batteries lasted a month or so. Put in new batteries, they were dead in a week. Maybe bad a battery? Another set of a different brand, 5 days. Tried again, cleaning the battery contacts, just in case, and re-seating the connector. Nope, 7 days. And this with "Long Battery Life Mode" turned on. Seems like this short battery life is an issue with many, but not all of these sensors. So, I'm back to Ambient Weather, not quite as convenient or accurate, and can't check the temp with my phone, but the batteries last 6-9 months.5/16/24 update: Customer support contacted me, they figured out some water intrusion had caused an issue with the unit, which was causing the extreme battery drain. Attaching the picture I sent them, if your unit has this kind of corrosion, it may not work as it should. They're sending me a replacement, even though I've had the unit for over 6 months! Huge kudos for above and beyond customer service.I'm going to put some Teflon tape on the threads of the replacement, to assure it remains water-tight. I'm upping my review rating, since the units function is excellent, just have to make sure the unit remains watertight.

I normally think if LED lights when I think of Govee products but I wanted a temperature sensor for my pond so I could monitor when it was safe to move some indoor fish to the outside pond. Other units I tried sat outside the water and used a little probe on a wire that was placed into the water. These were way too easy to break and not sturdy.By contrast this fully contained unit has a nice solid feel with no exposed sensors etc. it not only captures the temperature it records and logs the history. I can even see the effects of thinks like rain on the ponds temperature now. I’m really impressed with the granularity of the data. It’s even got reports for what time of day is warmest, averages etc. way more detail than I expected.Only annoying bit is the app doesn’t automatically and immediately update when launched. It’ll show old data until you pull down to make it refresh then it connects and gets all the current data. Minor quirk and not worth lowering the rating when it exceeds other expectations.

I am beyond pleased with this purchase on day one! I already use Govee products, so when I saw this pool thermometer I was excited. I have 6 thermometer/hydrometer model H5075, which are the Bluetooth only versions. To my surprise you can connect them to the base station that comes with this thermometer! It’s wonderful, I can now check all my thermometers over WiFi!The pool thermometer itself was easy to setup and seems to be accurate so far. If I encounter issues I will update this review.
