I'm testing my Govees and my Little Giant for a hatch I'm starting this weekend. But I'm getting frustrated.

I have two Govees and an analog meat thermometer. I put the meat therm. in an ice water bath for 30 min. and it read 38F, so 6 degrees high. Then I placed all three next to one another for a while to get a room temp. reading. Subtracting 6 degrees from the meat therm. I calibrated the Govees with the app.

That was two days ago. Since then, about every 12 hrs. I check the Govees, see that they are around 1.5 to 2 degrees off from each other (sitting right next to one another) and I calibrate them again. The next 12 hrs. later, they are off again by 1 or 2 degrees.

I thought people loved these Govees and that they were supposed to be very accurate. What am I doing wrong?

It's these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0872X4H4J?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I think I may have solved my issue. It's hard to explain, but something about the way I thought I needed to press Done after calibrating.

A few hours ago, I calibrated without trying to press Done, and so far, the temps on both Govees are matching within .1 of a degree.

I'm off to bed now. We'll see how they look in the morning.
