Govee WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer H5179 — Indoor Temp & Humidity Monitor, Swiss Sensor, App Alerts

The Govee WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer H5179 is a compact indoor temp and humidity monitor that sends real-time readings and app alerts so you can track environmental changes from anywhere.

This slim sensor pairs with the Govee Home app over WiFi or Bluetooth to deliver frequent, accurate measurements for rooms where temperature and moisture matter. Built with a Swiss-made sensor, it refreshes data every two seconds and stores historical trends in the cloud for easy review and export. The unit’s alert system, reliable connectivity options, and simple mounting make it suitable for basements, nurseries, greenhouses, offices, and storage spaces.

How precisely does the H5179 measure temperature and humidity?

The H5179 uses a high-quality Swiss sensor to provide tight tolerances: temperature readings accurate to ±0.54°F (±0.3°C) and humidity within ±3% RH. Readings update every two seconds so you can spot quick fluctuations, and the app visualizes trends for clearer interpretation.

• Temperature accuracy: ±0.54°F / ±0.3°C
• Humidity accuracy: ±3% RH
• Refresh rate: every 2 seconds
• Widget support for glanceable home screen data

What connectivity options let me monitor remotely?

You can connect the device via stable 2.4 GHz WiFi for continuous remote monitoring or use Bluetooth when local access suffices. When online, data syncs to your Govee Home account so you can view up to 20 days in the app, and export up to two years of historical records.

• WiFi (2.4 GHz) for remote access and cloud sync
• Bluetooth for local setup and direct control
• Up to 20 days visible online and exportable two-year history
• App widget and graphical trend views

How do alerts and notifications work on the Govee app?

Set your preferred temperature and humidity ranges inside the Govee Home app; the device issues push alerts when values move outside those limits. Alert setup is handled via Bluetooth, but once configured and connected to WiFi, notifications arrive anywhere the app is active.

• Customizable high/low thresholds for temp and humidity
• Instant push notifications on breach of ranges
• Alert configuration completed via Bluetooth
• Continuous monitoring after WiFi connection

How easy is it to install and keep data for reference?

The H5179 is lightweight and simple to position with the included lanyard loop or placed on a flat surface. Data is automatically uploaded when connected; you can inspect historic trends in the app and export long-term logs for records or analysis.

• Includes one lanyard loop for hanging placement
• Small footprint fits shelves, nurseries, and cabinets
• Automatic data upload with WiFi or Bluetooth connection
• Exportable logs up to two years for documentation

Who is this for? The Govee H5179 is designed for homeowners, hobbyists, and small business operators who need dependable, frequent environmental readings without complicated setup. It’s a practical choice for parents monitoring nursery conditions, collectors protecting delicate items, gardeners caring for indoor plants, and anyone who wants cloud-backed historical data plus immediate alerts when conditions shift.
