  • Govee account (create one if you haven’t)

Step-by-Step Connection Guide

1. Power On the Lamp

Plug in your Govee Floor Lamp 2 and turn it on. Ensure the lamp’s LED indicator is blinking rapidly, indicating it’s ready to pair.

The lamp should automatically enter pairing mode when the LED indicator blinks rapidly. If not, press and hold the power button for 5 seconds until the indicator starts blinking.

5. Connect to Wi-Fi

Select your Wi-Fi network from the app and enter the password. Ensure you connect to a 2.4 GHz network if your router supports dual bands, as some smart devices only work on this frequency.

Linking with Google Home

Open the Google Home app, tap “Add,” then “Set up device,” and choose “Works with Google.” Search for “Govee,” log in to your account, and authorize access. Your lamp will be available for voice commands.

Troubleshooting Tips

  • If the lamp isn’t appearing in the app, ensure it’s in pairing mode and close to your smartphone.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and try reconnecting.
  • Reset the lamp by unplugging it, waiting 10 seconds, then plugging it back in and entering pairing mode.
