Initial Setup of Govee Lyra
Before connecting multiple devices, ensure your Govee Lyra is properly set up and functioning with one primary device. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to connect the light to your Wi-Fi network and pair it with the Govee Home app.
Adding Additional Devices
Once the Govee Lyra is set up on your primary device, you can add it to other devices by following these steps:
Step 1: Install the Govee Home App
Download and install the Govee Home app from the App Store or Google Play Store on all devices you wish to connect.
Step 2: Log into Your Govee Account
Open the app on each device and log in with the same Govee account credentials used during initial setup. This ensures all devices access the same set of smart devices.
Step 3: Sync the Govee Lyra
After logging in, the Govee Lyra should automatically appear in the device list. If it does not, tap the ‘+’ icon or ‘Add Device’ button and follow the prompts to scan for nearby devices or manually select your Govee Lyra.
