It can be nice to know what the temperature and humidity is around us, so I added some smart thermometer/hygrometer units to our coach.
To see the current and historical temperature and humidity outside, I added a sensor unit under a slide-out, attached via Command Strips:
I also wanted to monitor the temperature in the wet bay; it has a heater to prevent it getting too cold, since having our plumbing freeze up would be bad, but I wanted to keep an eye on it, just in case:
Those sensors don’t have displays, but for inside I wanted units that not only have sensors, but also display the current values. So I got a couple of units with e-ink displays; here’s the one in the living room, below the smoke detector:
And the one in the bedroom, between the smoke detector and thermostat (the big temperature on the thermostat is the set level):
All of these sensors feed data into the Govee Home app, which can show the current values on its home page (along with ugly seasonal graphics):
The same screen after the holiday season:
Tapping on one of the thermometers shows historical data, so I can see how the temperature and humidity have changed over time:
Fun fact: that higher humidity was when we were on the coast at Corpus Christi, and the lower humidity was inland at Lockhart; makes quite a difference. And yes, the temperature inside can vary greatly throughout the day; we tend not to run the AC or heaters except for uncomfortably hot or cold weather, preferring to open windows for fresh air when feasible. (Not a cost thing, since we typically don’t pay for electricity at campsites, but it’s quieter, and fresh air is nice.)
