A quick video of how to setup this temperature and humidity sensor within the Govee app and have smart switches turn on and of based on the temperature and humidity.
Given the slow update cycle, the watch cell battery and now the lack of ability to update data to the cloud I would not recommend the H5074 to anyone if you want to view the data while your away. If you just want data (no automation) the H5100 + wifi gateway works well, I you want Automation and data while you away then the H5075 + wifi Gateway is a good choice. To sum up: H5074 = Automation H5100 + wifi gateway = data while away from home. H5075 + wifi gateway = Automation & Data while away from home.
Couple of issues I got hung up on. 1) You won't see CSV download tab on bottom of graph screen unless you create a Govee account first. 2) If you are using Android 'dark' screen you may not see the underline dashes to enter new account email verification pin code due to poor contrast of dashes in dark mode.
Are the H5074s able to be paired to a Govee gateway device or WiFi hydrometer hub and then be read remotely (via internet 🛜) ? I know they now have a WiFi models but any back engineered for the Bluetooth devices to integrate with WiFi hydrometer to be read from afar?
Thank you for asking this, I completely missed this aspect of the devices when I was going over them. I've been testing this off and on over the past day or so and oddly the H5074 will only pair with the "distributed" gateway created by created by the smart plugs, it will not pair with the wifi gateways that the H5100 comes with. It also does not update in the app unless its connected via blue tooth on my phone. It really looks like the H5074 will only give you data when its connected via blue tooth to the phone, It seems the gateway pairing is only for the automation features. The H5075 and the H5100s both update to the cloud though so I can get temp and humidity data when I'm away from home, this does not seem to be the case with the H5074, Given the slow update cycle, the watch cell battery and now the apparent lack of ability to update data to the cloud via the gateway I would not recommend the H5074 to anyone. I would recommend going with the H5100, or the H5075 if you want a display and need automation.
