EVERY single aspect is fantastic. iPhone app. Hardware, Functionality. Time-to-Update. Everything!!!
BUT, BATTERY-LIFE is beyond abysmal. I used to only purchase the best batteries. However, these devices were dropping like flies. So I told myself, “Hey, Me, use less expensive batteries and it won’t matter.” But the batteries don’t even last a season. Three months. REALLY? By the way, the ones outside, but protected on my balcony/vehicle, are even worse. Except for a week or two the temperatures here bottom out in the 20°F’s. If I place one in my car the device fails in less than three weeks. We’re not talking 5°F. BUT, you can take it into the home, warm it up, and it will work for another week or two. Then it’s done.
I’ve designed and built electronic hardware. These people do not know how to do it with killing batteries. Maybe one day but not now. My garage never gets below 38°F. Ever. It can be -5°F outside. The one in the garage dies after two months.
SO….Expect to need at least five batteries a year or look elsewhere. I’m calling Govee a bust after over four years!!!
