Affordable Wi-Fi temperature and humidity sensors
Connect your Govee sensors to an online dashboard
Govee's thermometer and hygrometer sensors are often the first smart sensors people buy. Govee's app is fine for a single room, but a dashboard that shows them next to your other brands, with history charts and alerts, is easier to live with. SensorConsole reads your Govee sensors through Govee's API using a key you request from the Govee Home app.
What you can monitor
- Temperature and humidity sensors
- Wi-Fi models, and Bluetooth models through a Govee gateway
