WiFi Pool Thermometer P1 Wireless, Water Thermometer | Easy Read Digital Pool Thermometer Floating, IPX7 Waterproof, APP/Email Alert, 328ft Range for Swimming, Pond, Bath, SPA

This was really easy to set up and has been working great. I like being able to check the pool temperature from my phone without going outside. The readings have been consistent for us and it’s helpful to see how the temperature changes throughout the day. Overall it’s been reliable and just makes keeping track of the pool a lot easier.

​I have been using the GoveeLife Smart Pool Thermometer, and it’s a total game-changer. Here is why it’s worth the buy: • ​Rock-Solid Connection: The Wi-Fi gateway is the "secret sauce." Unlike Bluetooth versions that disconnect the moment you go indoors, this stays connected through walls, so I can check the temp from my couch. • ​Highly Accurate: I cross-checked it with a manual thermometer, and it’s spot on. The app updates every few seconds, which is great for watching the pool warm up. • ​Smart Features: I love the Alexa integration—I can just ask for the temp while getting ready. The app also sends me a notification if the water hits certain temps. • ​Excellent Customer Service: I had an issue with the sensor, and their support team was fantastic. They were incredibly helpful and had a very fast turnaround time on my inquiry. They sent a replacement almost immediately. It’s rare to find a company that responds that quickly these days! ​Pro-Tip: Make sure you screw the cap on perfectly straight and tight to ensure the waterproof seal stays 100% effective. ​If you want to stop walking out to the pool just to check the water, get this. It’s reliable, easy to set up, and the company clearly stands behind their product.

Contrary to other reviews, this pool thermometer is not at all intuitively paired. It is easy enough once you figure it out but the directions are very limited and badly need improvement. The thermometer works great once you get it paired though and can be accessed via Alexa or other home devices. This pairing is not intuitive either lol! So here are the instructions which can save you a headache! First download the Govee app (there is a QR code in the tiny instruction manual. First thing that needs improvement: larger font size!!) and set up an account. Then connect your phone to your 2gb wifi connection. Then go back to the Govee app and ignore all the different kind of devices listed and just hit the little + button in the top right corner. It will then connect with your gateway device first (that’s the round thing that plugs into the wall) and hopefully it will flash blue. Then you just short press one of the two side buttons, not the reset button (that one you use if it doesn’t flash blue), and the gateway should be connected. (Instructions say to hold the button down for 5 seconds but that is incorrect; it’s a short press!) Then the app should automatically find the pool thermometer device itself and you need to have the battery cover off to hold down the button next to the battery compartment for three seconds. Then it should be connected! It will look like you need to hit “add” the device button at the bottom of the app, but you don’t. That’s just if you want to connect another thermometer. So then the app and the thermometer should show the water temperature. If you want to connect it to Alexa, then you need to go into your profile (head and shoulders icon on bottom of Govee app to the right) and then go to Voice Assistant setting. Then you hit Alexa or whatever you have and link the Govee skill to your Amazon account and Alexa right on the Govee app (don’t try it on the Alexa app, it won’t find the Govee skill for whatever reason). Then you can ask you-know-who what your pool temperature is! Cool! There are also Govee widgets available for iPhone and iPad that will show you the pool temperature as well (and possibly Apple watch app coming??) The app will show your pool temperature over time, not really sure why you need that lol. Obviously I just started using it, but I will update my review if it conks out prematurely. It does come with an extra gasket, which is nice because we all know chlorine is pretty toxic to everything. But so far very handy! I have had a pool for 20 years and have gotten to the point where I only go in if the water is above 82 degrees. So this is a very handy device, so I don’t have to take my heavy pool ladder down and walk up the steps to drag out the old manual thermometer every time I want to know the pool temperature. It may show a higher temperature than it really is, because this thermometer is only about 6 inches deep, and sometimes there can be a layer of hotter water at the top of the pool under the solar cover, but again I will update review if it isn’t accurate. Convenient device once you figure out how to pair everything!

Excellent wireless pool or spa thermometer. I'm using it in an inflatable hot tub though it could be used in a pool or even a pond. It seems accurate out of the box but there is also an option to calibrate it in the app. Connecting the gateway to my network and the sensor to the gateway was super easy and intuitive. I've never used a govee product before and didn't even need the manual to connect it. It works well and the range is great too. I'm a little disappointed by the screen on the thermometer though. After a few days in the hot tub it almost looks like the screen is beginning to show signs of etching. It's still easy to read but has a hazy whitish streaks over it. I thought I'd try to clean it later but I don't think that's going to make a difference. It's smaller than expected which is great and it floats well. Oh it eve came with the 2 necessary triple A batteries. I was impressed by that. Overall I'd definitely recommend it and may buy another one for the pond we have.

Works great. Easy setup. Nice having the temperature at my fingertips.

UPDATED: Govee reached out and offered a refund on the original device after seeing my review. Great customer service. I’ve since picked up a second one and it’s working great - glad to see them stand behind their product and the customer service. I’m a big fan of Govee products and this one is great - it’s a niche need no doubt - but if you want to track your pool or hot tub temperature it works with the bridge and syncs into the app without any issue. It’s nice that it floats easily but isn’t annoying. It’s sized reasonably and unlike some other falsities I have in my hot tub (scum balls, Frog@ease) this thing moves around but doesn’t fly all over the place. Not sure how - but it’s much less annoying. Tracking updates quickly - even with the conserve battery option on. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Hoping I got a dud or something based on the reviews. When it was working it was great and did its job as intended. Unfortunately, batteries died after about 3 months, which is much shorter than indicated on item description, and now the whole unit appears to be dead. I could get a single bar on the screen to flash for a split second if I angled the battery in a very specific way with my finger, which indicates some sort of interior failure in the wiring of the unit. Going to grab another one and hope I got a lemon this time around.

I'm on my second pool temp sensor.,,and it died in about a year. The first one stopped working in less than 6 months, and Govee replaced it. And now, here we are again, same kinds of issues. What annoys me even more is I just gave one of these as a gift, and so this person will likely also get screwed over by Govee's unreliable product. Do I buy another to replace this one that has died? I doubt it...time to look elsewhere.

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. We’re in Alaska and have hot tubs. We wanted something to alarm us if the temperature dropped so we could fix an issue before our hot tub froze up. It’s already alerted us to one emergency we were able to fix in time! I don’t give it 5 stars because working the app was very confusing. It took a few hours to get fully set up. It’s working now and does a great job. I also wish we could get it to alarm audibly on the phone when the temperature goes out of range. It’s just a banner that pops up. We may figure that out later but any notification is better than none!
