These are the Govee.com coupons mentioned the most by Slickdeals users:
BOOM 10% off (confirmed on most products)
SPLASH-CAD 12% off (confirmed on various sensors, light strips, etc)
TAKE5 $5 off per unit (better than the welcome offer, confirmed on various products)
So we don't rehash lessons from previous Govee deal threads:
- There are no international transaction fees even though Chase says it's international.
- Govee is a Chinese brand, but they tend to have exceptional quality, outstanding customer service/warranty, and many fans on SD, which is why they consistently hit the Front Page.
- The warranty experience is much better when you buy direct, as opposed through Amazon. Your order is directly tied to the app, meaning you can initiate a recall of a defective unit with free shipping directly through the Govee app with one click; no phone calls or hassle.
- Their Bluetooth only devices often pair with Govee WiFi hubs for their other products, allowing remote access to your devices out of the house and on the app. For example, their BT hygrometers connect to the v2 water sensor WiFi hub.

The word is not here, not on the product page, not in the manual.
It uses a shitty cr2450 battery. Because F you that's why.
They could have used a real battery and it would last for years, but instead you will be replacing a $4-$6 battery every 9-12 months.

I have now paired the heater with this Govee thermometer, which makes for a much more accurate combination (because you can place it wherever, and because the temp sensor isn't *on* the heater itself).
You can also set your heater to trigger automatically to maintain a certain temperature. And because the heater is wi-fi enabled, I think you can do this from away from home. The device has a 24-hour automatic shutoff, but you can circumvent this with a daily schedule (OFF every day at 00:00, ON every day at 00:01)

I'd say almost all new govee meters support the "distributed gateway" feature. Google "govee distributed gateway" for the list.

Is this Govee thermometer a good candidate for this use with HA?
Home Assistant is awesome, but setup can be a little geeky. It's way easier than when I got into it. The big value proposition is that HA encourages local control of your stuff and they're vendor agnostic. Some devices are tied to the cloud, but they'll still probably work.The ecosystem is huge.
HA can run in a virtual machine. A cheap mini PC would be great. Raspi works well enough. HA sells devices now if you want really easy. People who set HA up on a computer they use regularly always complain when things go down after a windows update.
For your plug, sonoff has a wifi one that can be locallly controlled. And this Govee thermometer uses bluetooth, so you need to make sure your installing PC has bluetooth (most do these days).
