wifi temperature monitoring non-network device available?

Good day,
We have a clinic that i can get temperature records for monthly, but not on an immediate basis.
If we have something out, the facility engineers move items and alert us, but that is after the fact.
We are not alerted in real time of an issue.
Does anyone have a Wi-Fi based standalone temperature monitor that we can use for real time measurement that might start out as NIST certified?
How about non-NIST certified and we test it against our NIST certified devices? 
I was looking at Govee devices and then thought i should see what else is available. 
we will still get the clinic monthly information but this way we will also be looking at real time temperature monitoring as well.

I used to work in a lab that used TempStick.  Temp Stick® by Ideal Sciences — Official Website
It was very user friendly, reliable and had realtime capabilities.  

We have deployed the Cooper-Atkins TempTrak system (owned by Copeland US), both with Wi-Fi and with a 900 MHz radio system and it works well for us across 35 facilities (>700 temperature and relative humidity monitoring transmitters) and it can be monitored and managed remotely. It has multiple methods of notification (popup windows, audible alarms, email, SMS, local and remote, etc.) and multiple escalation protocols.

We originally deployed the Wi-Fi version but replaced it with the 900 MHz radio system as the monitoring transmitters and the Access Points (AP) technologies diverged. The dedicated (nothing else runs on it) system is very reliable, is NIST-traceable, and can generate multiple reports as well as a real-time monitoring solution.

We use Aeroscout temperature tags that provide real time alerts sent to mobile devices, emails or computers with a company called RTLS (Real Time Location System). I can log into the Stanley Healthcare Mobile View website and see all of my room and refrigerator temperatures on the spot. They also customize my temperature reports.. can get daily, weekly, monthly, etc.

Thank you for all the responses!

We recently deployed GoVee temp devices for our Hospital From Home program (still in process of trialing it).  And I am not wild about them.  They are not NIST traceable so we needed to calibrate it against our own NIST device (which was easy to do).
 For that type of mobile environment, we were not able to add a gateway so I only receive the temp logs when my mobile device or the hospital issued I-pad is within a couple hundred feet of the device.  I get reports mailed to me at the end of the night but its not ideal.  There is no way to perform corrective action comments within the GoVee app so we will be relying on a paper error log if temps go out of range while the RN is traveling.  We have alerts set on the app that will alert the user on the mobile device if temps go out but we are finding bugs in the alerting system that we still need to work out
