Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer Thermometer (H5102)

Picture of the device

First of all: Yes, I know, the humidity level reported on the picture is terrible. But the door was open, and it had been raining outside, so that makes it normal, right?

This device reliably reports its data to my Home Assistant, which allows me to display it in the app's dashboard and even keep a history.

I have experienced 2 drawbacks with the device. First, I find that it has a poor range, at least when using it with a Raspberry Pi's built-in Bluetooth connectivity. Second, there is no official Govee integration for Home Assistant, so I have to rely on the unofficial Passive BLE Monitor integration that I installed through the Home Assistant Community Store.

While setting up the integration, it is useful to know that this device's Bluetooth MAC address should start with A4:C1:38.
