It costs less, shows temperature and humidity on its own screen and sends threshold alerts through the Govee app over Bluetooth. The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer is the better rated of the pair and the one for distance: its LoRa radio is rated up to a quarter mile through a YoLink hub, it alerts by app, email and text, and it works with Alexa and Home Assistant, plus Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter through the YoLink Local Hub. It has no screen, though, and does nothing without that hub. Buy the GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 for rooms inside the house, and the YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer for a freezer in the garage, a shed or a greenhouse at the end of the garden.

What the differences mean

Screen

The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 shows temperature and humidity on a 3.1 inch LCD, so anyone in the room can read it. The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer has no display: every reading lives in the YoLink app.

Range and hub

The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer uses LoRa, rated up to a quarter mile, and needs a YoLink hub to work at all. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 uses Bluetooth with no hub, which covers a house but not a detached garage or a barn.

How alerts reach you

The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer sends alerts by app, email and text message through its hub, wherever you are. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 sends app alerts over Bluetooth, so away from home you only hear from it through a Govee hub or node.

Smart home platforms

The YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer works with Alexa and Home Assistant, and with Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter through the YoLink Local Hub. The GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 works with Home Assistant only.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of both sensors use them to watch spaces they cannot check in person, from greenhouses and aquariums to freezers and crawlspaces, and both groups value the history and threshold alerts that catch a problem early. GoveeLife Hygrometer Thermometer H5104 owners single out accuracy between units, a readable screen and data they can export, and they were caught out by Bluetooth only range for live readings. YoLink Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer owners praise a signal that reaches through walls, floors and detached buildings, and alerts by text and email with no subscription, while they point to the mandatory hub, readings that live only in the app and, for a minority, drift against a reference thermometer.
