Humidity and Temperature monitoring

[>:|sh4d0w|:<]

Looking for a some small devices to monitor temperature and humidity in a few rooms of the house. Ideally a small unit which links to an app which I can monitor/log via an app. Non smart home here so no existing systems to connect to.

Any recommendations please? Looked at Thermapro and Govee units but no idea on either of those brands.

Many thanks!

I use the Govee units - if you want to get fractionally complicated, they hook up to HomeAssistant automatically.

The ones suffixed with an (S) are the hidden easter egg in that the Hue motion sensors include temp sensing...

If at all you're already using the Apple ecosystem, the HomePod minis have temp and humidy sensors and would obviously be a nice smart speaker in each room

Thanks, how’s the Govee app (if you’ve used it prior to HA)? Have heard mixed things. Ideally want to ability to get an alert when temp
And humidity go outside a certain range

I've got the Aqara ones, although they'll require a zigbee network.

With HA automations you can get it to do whatever you want when it goes outside a certain range.

Sorry I can't help there - I don't use the Govee app at all.

Thanks, look great but I don’t have a zigbee network unfortunately. A very low tech home here!

Why do you need to know the humidity of your rooms?

Because when it is too high it is a problem....?

Yea, I’m worried it’s too humid/damp. Buying a dehumidifier I can move between rooms (hence desire for alerts)

Yeah, but something would have to give you a reason to investigate 1st.... I definitely don't need to know what the humidity is in any of my rooms...

OK....but some people like to understand if it is too high before seeing consequences of it being too high.

Why do you even post here if you just spew nonsense in every thread other than the one where you are maintaining your landlords garden?

I use the Aqara Temperature/Humidity sensors within Home Assistant over a Zigbee network.

I asked a question.... Get over yourself
