The heater is a very convenient little device for smaller rooms so you don't have to heat the whole house if it's just you. Especially the link with thermo-hygrometer for the thermostat mode.
6:22 Actually you don't need the extra external thermometer to use the thermostat mode as the heater itself also has a internal thermostat built in, I only have the smart heater and thermostat mode all works perfectly can also set schedual and every other function. So love Govee products.
@threadchemistry sorry bud, never read other comments. Being wheelchair bound and live alone I also love Govee products as home automation make my life so much easier. Obviously I'm on a very tight budget but my Govee collection is slowly getting bigger. Best wishes from UK.👍
Yea I get it. No worries man.. That's cool though. Glad you can find ways to make it usual for you. I never thought of them being used to help people in your situation. Genius!
I have one more question....can I control this remotely using the app from another location, (like Phillips Hue Lights) or do I have to be somewhat close to it to control it with the app? Thanks!
Hello I literally got mine today. I am trying to connect it to WiFi, but it’s not appearing on my list. The WiFi icon on the unit is not lite either. Please help
perfect thank you for responding….not all portable heaters have timers….in fact I’ve never owned one with a timer dr. Heaters …edenpure none of them have timers ……the ONLY reason why I’m interested in this heater is it doesn’t have buttons to adjust the temperature….it’s for my teenage daughters room ( her room is about five degrees colder then the rest of the house) so I put a edenpure in her room JUST to bump it up that 5 degrees…..BUT I CONSTANTLY GO IN HER ROOM AND ITS MAXED OUT😡😡😡 she keeps jacking the heat up and I can’t stop her from messing with it ….driving me nuts….do you think this heater will work in my scenario?
I I think it would be perfect. You/she will have access to the Govee app correct? That and through voice command with Google/ Alexa/ smartthings is the only way to control it (besides the 3 buttons on it you don't like). Keep in mind it does NOT come with a remote. They don't make one at all. So if you/she can easily access the app and/or voice commands I think it would be a great idea for that. If you want to dig a little deeper they also just released 3 new space heaters. You could Google them or they all are in Amazon also and I think you could even still get some holiday discounts on them if you hurry.. if you decide to go that route. Hope this helps!
Yes I have google assistant which I probably will NOT hook up because then she will just be able to say “ hey google turn my heater up to volcanic lava temp” 😂😂which defeats the purpose…..but thank you I think I finally found a teen proof heater
Once it reaches desired level it stops, but lets say after sometime temperature drops, does it TURNS BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY to reach back the desired temp ?
@DavidSmith-tn9rm no you can leave it on. I believe it has a 24 hour safety shut off, but you could either run a routine to turn it back on everyday or just turn it on from the app or device..
@@threadchemistry I've noticed on the 7131 it will not show the temp of the heater in Google home app after linking it. Does yours show the temp on the 7130 in your Google home app?
@@threadchemistry damn. Same on my 7131 on Alexa app too. Interestingly enough I can tell it what temperature I want it to be set to in the Google Assistant by saying "hey Google set (name you set heater to) to 75 degrees, & sure enough it does it. So I wouldn't mind them implementing the ability to set the temperature within the Google home app and within the alxa app manually rather than verbally but none the less it's pretty cool
Oh wow. Interesting. Good to know! Unfortunately Google and Alexa just went through a major update do prolly won't be soon. I'll email Govee. Maybe get the ball rolling.
Through the app is there a way for it to turn on by itself at a set time e.g. 6am an hour before my alarm clock? If not, do you think if I asked Alexa to turn on my heater at 6am she would do this?
Yea, you can set a schedule any day, any time, any length. You can set that for a single time or to repeat it on a set schedule... Or if you forget you can just ask Alexa to do it. Ha..
Hi mate I have this product and all my low, medium and high settings see the same.... Is this fan speed? If so on yours is there a noticeable difference in speeds? I hope I'm being daft if not my speed 1, 2 and 3 are literally all the same
Hey man! The fan modes don't get too much louder rising one by one but there is definitely a noticeable difference. The only thing I would guess is that you received a faulty unit. I would reach out to Govee's warranty team or exchange it if you just bought it.
Or if you want to test yourself find a temperature gauge and place in front off the unit on each speed and see if it increases in temp speed by speed. Just a suggestion. Sorry I don't have a definitive answer for you man!
Ha, thank you! Actually I have had this question before and found out you cannot have 2 on the same Hygrometer. However, the Hygrometer is only about $9 dollars and you can even buy a 2 pack! So if you got the 2 space heaters and then also a 2 pack of the Hygrometers you could link 1 to 1 and 2 to 2 and it would only cost you about $9 extra in the long run. Hope this helps!
Thanks! I ordered one of the heaters and one of the (newer?) Wifi enabled sensors. It seems like an easy way to add more smart tech to my house. Thanks again for the info and the channel!
Oh, interesting. Thanks for letting us know. Careful though, if you have them too far apart or too far from the thermostat they're going to pump out depending on what the temp is at the thermo-hygrometer. But good to know. That must have been in a recent update.
You are correct. It will keep a constant temp of what you set for up to 20 or 30 hours. Something like that. It's actually not shutting off, it's keeping temp.
No, I'm not sure why they go that low. I guess if you're in a 20° room you can heat it up to 41°???? Bahah. Anyway, no it does not blow cool to answer your question.. ))
It will always shut off after the set amount of hours. Any portable heater will do that as a safety precaution. That being said you only need to have your phone and the app and you can control it as much as you'd like so you could just turn it on every morning. Or you could set a schedule with it to run from midnight to 11:59pm every day that would only cause 1 minute of loss so yes all of them will do that but Govee makes it more convenient to control over the others.

I am not a fan 🤬 of so called reviews videos that basically tell you what the product is and not what it can do. This video is the complete opposite.

I am a big fan of the RGB light on the other model. To bad they don't have that on both.
I think that model (H7131) is a newer model. They also added the RGB to their newer Smart Air Purifier as well..
The heater is a very convenient little device for smaller rooms so you don't have to heat the whole house if it's just you. Especially the link with thermo-hygrometer for the thermostat mode.
If only they would have the RGB light on this model as well..
Ryan, when the heater is oscillating, it looks very fragile, shaky and unstable due to…perhaps a not so solid construction of base?
That is actually the tilt sensor. It's made that way so if it does tip too far it will automatically shut off so nothing catches on fire..
@@threadchemistry ohhhh ok that makes sense now. Thank you! 🙏🏼
No problem anytime.. ))

If you already have it added in the app try going to the device options and settings and change wifi
Thanks for the review Bruv x
For sure. Appreciate ya man
Been looking for a heater for my drive away awning,wanted somthing with a timer on,would I still be able to set times if there is no Wi-Fi
Ya I believe you can set 2, 4, or 8 from the actual device.
Actually I just looked and it's 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours from the device that will work without wifi
Can you set the schedule to run while on thermostat mode? I have it in a room with a pet so just only want it to run during certain hours.
Yep. You certainly can.

Bahaha. That's correct. Well then at least you could have the access to the app instead of her. Could always control. Happy to help. Thanks a much!
Once it reaches desired level it stops, but lets say after sometime temperature drops, does it TURNS BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY to reach back the desired temp ?
Or you would have to turn on manually ?
Sure does. It holds a consistent temp, would've been a better way for me to word that.
I like that heater.
I like the RGB light on the other one a lot though too!!
can you have it so it runs constantly, or will it only run for a maximum of 8 hours no matter what and then shut off?
@DavidSmith-tn9rm no you can leave it on. I believe it has a 24 hour safety shut off, but you could either run a routine to turn it back on everyday or just turn it on from the app or device..
@@threadchemistrynice, thanks!
Thank you!
Why did you pick the 7130 over the 7131? Not trolling just trying to learn to make a decision myself.
I've had this actually for almost 2 years now.. the 7131 hadn't been released yet.

I linked 2 heaters to 1 thermometer in a large room. Works fine
Oh, interesting. Thanks for letting us know.
Careful though, if you have them too far apart or too far from the thermostat they're going to pump out depending on what the temp is at the thermo-hygrometer.
But good to know. That must have been in a recent update.
Hey quick question when you hit the target temp. And it turns off does it turn back on when it dips below target temp. Thanks
You are correct. It will keep a constant temp of what you set for up to 20 or 30 hours. Something like that. It's actually not shutting off, it's keeping temp.
@@threadchemistrycan you have it run all the time or will it always shut off after a max 20-30 hours?
How is it on energy wise?? My uncle is on my ass about the bill
Very energy efficient
The unit seems very wobbly, will it last?
Ya that's actually a safety feature. If it tips to far it will shut off to prevent fires.
Can it get cold too? I seen it said 41 degrees minimum but you have a personal experience from it.
No, I'm not sure why they go that low. I guess if you're in a 20° room you can heat it up to 41°???? Bahah.

With the app and this heater, can I control it from anywhere if and when I'm not home? (ex. If I'm in another city, state, or country?)
Yes you can. Any of their devices that connect wifi will work anywhere. Which this one does connect.
