Govee gateway?

[Nick Burner]

Forgive me if this is addressed here somewhere I haven’t seen it. I have a couple Govee H5074’s and apparently I’m only connected via Bluetooth. They update when I’m home but don’t connect when I’m remote. I have the app which I thought was all that was needed. Apparently from looking at the app I need a gateway. The only ones I see online come with a different model hygro. Is there a gateway that my 5074’s will connect with?

Upon further review the 5074 is Bluetooth only which explains the cheap price. I guess a $24 education about anything cigar-related isn’t bad. Time to upgrade.

I switched to these a little while back. You can use a hub or in my case I run Home Assistant (I'm geeky that way) and tied them into my other home automation stuff. I already had other Zigbee devices so I didn't need an extra hub. I'm very happy with them so far, and you can get them on sale for only $14. They use standard AA batteries that will last for a couple years!
