Govee Bluetooth Wireless Grill Thermometer with 230ft Range for Remote Monitoring of Meat Temperature

Spencer: I use traeger frequently and having a wired thermometer is no problem when the weather is good. This thing is perfect when I don't want to be outside while I have something going. I can monitor 2 temps at once and sometimes it's handy to have one in a tri tip and one probe hanging out in smoker validating the cook temperature. Stays connected at a reasonable distance and the app is easy. Good deal.

Patrick: It's a good thermometer and I like it. Seems easy enough to use. However, this refuses to work without location turned on. Are they planning to come to dinner. Do they need directions to find my house. Why on earth would you refuse to work without location turned on unless it's some sort of advertising? Gimmick secondly, I bought this on prime Day I thought. Great for $5. Less at $23. However, if I would have waited a few days after prime I could have got it at $19. If I like it enough to write a second review I will let you all know.

Grant Hoover: I've been a fan of Govee for household items. When I got my Traeger, I wanted a meat thermometer for redundancy, but I had already spent enough on the traeger, so I was looking for value. Boy did I find it with this two-probe Govee. I use one for ambient-inside temp, the other for meat probe. I don't need a four probe for $90. This less than $30 works very well.

EP Moose: When I received the unit it did not perform as expected. Govee support was very good helping me resolve the issue which involved updating the firmware in the unit. They directed me to a video they had prepared for the device. Once updated the device performs perfectly. As an engineer, I love the graph of measured temperature over time that is displayed using the Govee app. Temp accuracy is very good.

FDFD: Let's set the record straight since my first very honest review was apparently rejected because I was trying to clarify a feature that DOES work. Let's just say I almost didn't buy this device while doing my own review reading, but I'm glad I did.

I just purchased the dual probe unit and was pleasantly surprised with it's value. 2 key points:

1: When using the App, the Bluetooth interface IS BIDIRECTIONAL so you can not only set up the temps, alarms etc from your phone, but also get feedback on temps etc. The unit can be used without the app, but the interface is basic. Only option is to set a temp. The app offers so much more. (See some app screenshots)

2: The device does NOT connect to your network. Once you install the App, you are connecting to it via Bluetooth only.

2 potential issues I found:
Accuracy seems to be off by 2 degrees on mine. That tolerance was in the description. For my uses that doesn't matter, but for you it may.
The app, upon installation, requires access to your location. I found this odd but the app can do other smart home functions. You can select location "only while using the app". I haven't tried turning it off in my...
