Description
Govee Wireless Meat Thermometer is situated between my Smoker and most frequently used gill. Has meat temperature and alarm settings integrated with Home Assistant through the Bluetooth integration – which requires a bluetooth proxy in the Outdoor Kitchen to get sufficient range. Works great and has an good app. Future plans to replace batteries with DC power stepped down from available 5V to 3.3V.
