Saving and Managing Your Scenes
After customizing your scene, tap “Save” and give it a name that reflects its purpose, such as “Relax” or “Party.” Your scene will now appear in the list of saved scenes for easy access.
To edit a scene, select it from the list, make your adjustments, and save again. You can also delete scenes you no longer use to keep your list organized.
Using Scenes for Automation and Scheduling
The Govee Lyra app allows you to automate your lighting scenes based on time or triggers. Access the “Automation” tab to set schedules, so your lights turn on, off, or change scenes automatically.
