    Have you had any other bluetooth hydro experience to compare it to?

    Experimenting with this one prompted me to purchase one. I’ll post a review in a few days.
    Happy as if I had good sense.

    Let me cut to the chase. I recently bought the Boveda Bluetooth Thermometer/Hygrometer. It was $23.72 shipped.

    The Govee is larger than the Boveda.
    The Govee has a display. Handy if you are putting it in a glass front/top humidor, or other place you want to check it without pulling your phone. The Boveda doesn't have a display, but if Bluetooth is your main purchasing point, not necessary.
    The Govee looks more detailed when tracking the history, IMO.
    The Govee has a button to export data, not available on the Boveda. I haven't experimented with that.
    The Govee can be calibrated to what ever standard you choose. The Boveda requires a Boveda Calibration Kit. The Boveda comes with a 75% RH kit and you can buy a 75%/32% kit for two point calibration.
    As you have stated, the regular price is...different.

    These are the differences I have noticed. This is all based on my opinion and your mileage may vary. I am not a professional, don't play one on tv, nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn Select lately.

    Recently, I calibrated both the Govee and a Boveda Bluetooth in a 75% Boveda Calibration Kit. Late last night, I put both in a small wooden humidor. This morning the Govee reads 68.2%. The Boveda reads 66%. A HygroSet ii, that resides in that humi, reads 63%. I have pulled the HygroSet and put in a calibration kit to see what it reads there. I'll try to post the result after 24 hours.
    Happy as if I had good sense.
