" ... They need to work on a better approach to getting this connected, as the UX to make the connection is buggy and poor. ... "
" ... When a reading actually showed up on my phone it was almost always wrong. ... "
" ... There is zero phone support. ... "
" ... Doesn't seem to work at all more than 20 feet from the hub. ... "
" ... It will not update, and you will have to set up the device multiple times. ... "
" ... The software downloaded for this would not recognize it (only another version which is evidently not compatible) so I never got this to connect to the thermometer or my network or my iPhone. ... "
" ... When tried to reinstall and reconnect it never showed up on the list again. ... "
" ... But when I go back to try to connect to the Govee Gateway it does not show up on the list. ... "

" ... Now the signal is wrong when it does come through. ... "
" ... Poor customer support, followed guidelines as to compatibility with router and still did not work. ... "
" ... Connection goes in and out very inconsistent product ... "
" ... Was unable to get this device to connect to my Eero multi band wifi, which supports 2.4Ghz band. ... "

" ... I made sure in both cases 5ghz was not being used. ... "
" ... Not only does it sporadically disconnect from the internet sending your phone false reads, it is not set up for multiple sensors as mentioned and the customer service to troubleshoot issues with it is only available via email or a messaging system through the app and THEY DO NOT RESPOND TO EITHER. ...

" ... I have two sensors beside each other and the Govee one keeps setting off my “too hot” or “too cold” alert because of these spikes. ... most of the time the values don’t match all of my other sensors. ... I know the Govee sensor values are wrong because all of my other sensors match values with each other. ... "
