Temp/RH Remote Monitoring - Advice Please

[Ardek]

So I'm looking for recommendations on devices to monitor RH and Temp remotely, via an app. I don't need to control it (at least not yet), but I'm looking to at least monitor to start.

I've been able to find a couple that have 'in-house' distance capabilities, like 325 feet.. but I'm looking for something that has the ability to connect to my in home wi-fi and be able to monitor it from anywhere. Like the technology in the ecobee perhaps, I already have this device for my home HVAC. I can control my house furnace and A/C from anywhere, not just within the home.

found these two, that have in-home distance ranges, but unable to find a truly remote device yet.

Govee WiFi Digital Indoor Hygrometer Thermometer, Wireless

I have one for the canopy and one for the wall per tent. Love them.

Does this support multiple devices in the same app by chance? *edit - nm, watched video and looks like you can have multiple connected.

I'd like to have one for my veg tent and one for my flower tent and check them through the same app.

Works great for multiple devices


Add a couple of these: Smart plug, Gosund Mini Wifi Outlet

and you can control the whole room

Wow.. How have I not found those outlets sooner!? every digital timers i've bought has been like 20-30$ and does not have ANY wireless capability. I hope these work as well as they sound.

I do not need Alexa or Google Assistant for these correct, I cant just download the app they provide? it isn't really clear in the description.

I have an Android and you just goto the PLay Store and download the Govee (Temp/RH) and GoSmart (Smart Plugs) apps. No Alexa or any other apps needed. Set thresholds for alerts. The Govee charts by hour/day/week/mo/yr so you can get a sense of cycles. For example, I can see the trend towards higher humidity as the plants get bigger and see how many weeks they are along. So for the next grows I can be proactive.

(I don't like the idea of an Alexa listening to me even though I know the smart phones we carry all do anyway)

Temp drop on 12/22 was me opening up another air intake

This has been SO amazing for my set up! Thank you for this tip, these were fairly inexpensive and has allowed me to monitor spikes I didn't realize were happening.
