Sensirion announces collaboration with Govee

Humidity and temperature are important parameters for indoor air quality. Too high or too low air humidity values in closed rooms can lead to various problems. For example, bacteria and viruses that cause respiratory infections thrive in extremely high and extremely low humidity. Mold spores, dust mites and other allergens survive best in high-humidity environments. Furthermore, higher humidity can increase the levels of noxious chemicals in the air, which may include ozone and formaldehyde. 40 % to 60 % relative humidity is an optimal level for the immune system and our respiratory system – it reduces the spread of seasonal respiratory diseases and increases health and well-being. 

Govee develops humidity and temperature monitoring systems to improve indoor air quality. Its products include state-of-the-art LED lights and smart home devices designed to change traditional lifestyles and improve people's health.“By demonstrating integrity, boldness and passion in everything we produce, we create colorful and safe products that succeed in Making Life Smarter. Thanks to the energy efficiency and best-in-class accuracy of Sensirion’s SHTC3 humidity and temperature sensor, our monitoring devices offer excellent battery life and accuracy,” said Tony Li, product manager at Govee. 

Complete sensor system on one chip

The SHTC3 humidity and temperature sensor has been designed to overcome conventional limits for size, power consumption and price-performance ratio in order to fulfill the requirements of the consumer electronics market and products like Govee’s humidity and temperature monitoring systems. By using Sensirion’s CMOSens  Technology, the SHTC3 offers a complete sensor system on a single chip, consisting of a capacitive humidity sensor, a band-gap temperature sensor, analog and digital signal processing, A/D converter, calibration data memory and a digital communication interface supporting I²C fast mode. The ultra-small, 2 x 2 x 0.75 mm³ DFN package enables applications to be placed in even the most limited of spaces. The sensor covers a humidity measurement range of 0 % to 100 % RH and a temperature measurement range of -40 °C to 125 °C with a typical accuracy of ±2 % RH and ±0.2 °C. “Being able to count Govee among our customers fills us with pride. Govee’s humidity and temperature monitoring devices are the perfect applications for our environmental sensors. Sensirion and Govee are united by the will to enable innovative and smart applications that increase the comfort and safety of people,” says Coco Sit, Senior Channel Development Manager at Sensirion China.
