GoveeLife WiFi Pool Thermometer P1 Wireless App Easy Read, Smart Digital Floating Pool Thermometer with IPX7 Waterproof, Notification Alert, Water Temperature Monitor for Swimming, Pond, Bath, SPA

​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.

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.

Writing this after set up and a few days of use. No issues! Straightforward set-up that was simple if you’re familiar with Bluetooth and know your WiFi password. Love the feedback on my pool that I can access from the app. I’m stalking the temp waiting for an ideal time to jump in! The app is simple and easy to navigate. Zero complaints so far.

Modified review after 4 months: After 4 months the digital read on top of thermometer is not working. Screen simply stopped working - temp still shows on app. We have another exact same model in same pool that has been working for 8 months and is fine. Would not recommend for the price. I’ve had cheap solar thermometers with digital screens that have lasted 3 years! Have had this for over a month the and is working well. App is easy to use and am enjoying knowing my pool temp automatically and having the history as time goes on. Will report back as to how it lasts. We’re in Southern CA so will be used year round.

I picked this up mainly to avoid walking outside every morning just to check the pool temp, and so far it’s been one of those simple gadgets that’s actually useful every day. Setup through the Govee app was pretty straightforward. It connected to WiFi without much trouble, and the readings on the app have matched closely with my old floating thermometer. The display on the unit itself is also large enough to read from the edge of the pool, which I wasn’t expecting. I like being able to check the temperature before getting home from work or before deciding whether to run the heater. The notification alerts are a nice touch too, especially if you’re trying to keep an eye on temp swings overnight. The floating unit seems well sealed and has handled rain and full sun without issues so far. Battery life obviously remains to be seen long term, but after the initial setup it hasn’t dropped much. A couple small things: the thermometer is a little larger than a standard floating thermometer, and the app has a lot of options/settings that can feel slightly cluttered at first. Overall though, it does exactly what I wanted — reliable pool temp monitoring without having to go outside and check manually every time.

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.

So far, it works well. I like that I can look on my phone and I can see the temperature of the pool.

Unfortunately I wanted this to work out well but alas! At first it worked great and I could ask my google the temp of the hot tub through it and it was awesome. But then the battery was constantly dying and barely worked and I could tell small amounts of moisture were still getting in no matter how tight I did it. Eventually i just got over changing it out so much and would go check the hot tub manually. But now after looking at another review to see if there’s a fix to my problem I think we had the same problem and it’s unfixable. The unit wouldn’t fully seal properly so a small amount of water/moisture was getting in there and I think it made the unit battery defective. I switched batteries out to fresh ones again but now it won’t turn on at all. No signs of life at all despite hardly any sign of corrosion or wear on the inside. I really loved this initially though so I’m hoping the company can contact me about sending a new unit to replace the faulty one! Will update the review if that happens!
