Over the past few years, we have gained valuable knowledge from using Govee smart lighting. When it comes to installation, it is important to plan carefully, especially with panels, by testing your layout before sticking anything to the wall. Consider where the power cord will be located and clean the surface thoroughly before applying the smart lighting, as the adhesive can potentially damage paint or wallpaper upon removal.
For connecting Govee lights, remember that even after connecting to Wi-Fi, your phone will connect via Bluetooth for direct control and firmware updates. If you encounter connectivity issues, try to be within 6 feet of your lights for a more stable connection.
Certain Govee smart lighting products, such as those for TV or gaming syncing, may require calibration for optimal performance. Take your time and follow the instructions carefully for the best results. You can always redo the calibration process in the Govee app if needed.
Ensure you choose descriptive names for your lights during setup or edit them later by selecting the Device tab in the app. Additionally, consider organizing your lights by creating rooms and adding them to specific groups for easier control.
For everyday control, you may find it more convenient to use voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, especially considering the somewhat chaotic Govee app interface. Detailed instructions on setting up voice controls can be found in the app under the User Guide section.
Take advantage of the automation features offered by Govee smart lighting to schedule lights to turn on and off, as well as create customizable triggers for changing brightness, color, and more. Experiment with different colors and effects by accessing the Effects Lab within the app.
Explore the capabilities of your lights by checking out the suggestions on the Home tab and further information in the Explore section. Additionally, visit the Discover section to find hashtagged topics, posts, and videos from other Govee light owners for ideas, tips, and troubleshooting assistance.
