GoveeLifeSmart Pool Thermometer Wireless App Easy Read, WiFi Digital Pool Thermometer Floating with IPX7 Waterproof, Notification Alert, Water Temperature Monitor for Swimming Pond, Bath Tub, Hot Tub

Excellent wireless pool or spa thermometer. I'm using it in an inflatable hot tub though it could be used in a pool or even a pond. It seems accurate out of the box but there is also an option to calibrate it in the app. Connecting the gateway to my network and the sensor to the gateway was super easy and intuitive. I've never used a govee product before and didn't even need the manual to connect it. It works well and the range is great too. I'm a little disappointed by the screen on the thermometer though. After a few days in the hot tub it almost looks like the screen is beginning to show signs of etching. It's still easy to read but has a hazy whitish streaks over it. I thought I'd try to clean it later but I don't think that's going to make a difference. It's smaller than expected which is great and it floats well. Oh it eve came with the 2 necessary triple A batteries. I was impressed by that. Overall I'd definitely recommend it and may buy another one for the pond we have.

Finally got a pool thermometer that works, is accurate, and easy to hook up. The installation instructions are easy to read and even came within batteries. I had one brand that ran the 2 new Duracells down to nothing in a month, thought it was defective and had amazon replace it and the next one did exactly the same. Another that the instructions were so complicated I never did get it connected.With this one I have never idea about battery life but says they last a year.

The GoveeLife Smart Pool Thermometer has been an absolute game-changer for monitoring water temperatures! I use it for my hot tub and ice bath tub, and it’s been incredibly accurate and reliable. The thermometer is easy to set up, and the WiFi Gateway ensures that I can track the temperature remotely through the app, no matter where I am.One of the best features is the remote app notifications. I get an alert on my phone if the water temperature goes above or below my set range, which gives me peace of mind when I’m away. Whether it’s for a fishbowl, pond, or pool, the IPX7 waterproof design ensures it works flawlessly even in outdoor conditions.The thermometer is precise and has helped me keep my water at the perfect temperature for everything from relaxing in my hot tub to ensuring the ideal conditions for my fish. The battery life is impressive, and I love that it’s a low-maintenance product that just works.I highly recommend the GoveeLife Smart Pool Thermometer for anyone who needs a reliable, easy-to-use thermometer for pools, hot tubs, ponds, or any other water feature. It’s been an essential addition to my setup!

Contrary to other reviews, this pool thermometer is not at all intuitively paired. It is easy enough once you figure it out but the directions are very limited and badly need improvement. The thermometer works great once you get it paired though and can be accessed via Alexa or other home devices. This pairing is not intuitive either lol!So here are the instructions which can save you a headache! First download the Govee app (there is a QR code in the tiny instruction manual. First thing that needs improvement: larger font size!!) and set up an account. Then connect your phone to your 2gb wifi connection. Then go back to the Govee app and ignore all the different kind of devices listed and just hit the little + button in the top right corner. It will then connect with your gateway device first (that’s the round thing that plugs into the wall) and hopefully it will flash blue. Then you just short press one of the two side buttons, not the reset button (that one you use if it doesn’t flash blue), and the gateway should be connected. (Instructions say to hold the button down for 5 seconds but that is incorrect; it’s a short press!) Then the app should automatically find the pool thermometer device itself and you need to have the battery cover off to hold down the button next to the battery compartment for three seconds. Then it should be connected! It will look like you need to hit “add” the device button at the bottom of the app, but you don’t. That’s just if you want to connect another thermometer. So then the app and the thermometer should show the water temperature.If you want to connect it to Alexa, then you need to go into your profile (head and shoulders icon on bottom of Govee app to the right) and then go to Voice Assistant setting. Then you hit Alexa or whatever you have and link the Govee skill to your Amazon account and Alexa right on the Govee app (don’t try it on the Alexa app, it won’t find the Govee skill for whatever reason). Then you can ask you-know-who what your pool temperature is! Cool! There are also Govee widgets available for iPhone and iPad that will show you the pool temperature as well (and possibly Apple watch app coming??)The app will show your pool temperature over time, not really sure why you need that lol. Obviously I just started using it, but I will update my review if it conks out prematurely. It does come with an extra gasket, which is nice because we all know chlorine is pretty toxic to everything. But so far very handy! I have had a pool for 20 years and have gotten to the point where I only go in if the water is above 82 degrees. So this is a very handy device, so I don’t have to take my heavy pool ladder down and walk up the steps to drag out the old manual thermometer every time I want to know the pool temperature. It may show a higher temperature than it really is, because this thermometer is only about 6 inches deep, and sometimes there can be a layer of hotter water at the top of the pool under the solar cover, but again I will update review if it isn’t accurate. Convenient device once you figure out how to pair everything!

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!
