1. What is a "distributed gateway"?

A distributed gateway is the result of Govee's exclusive innovation, which automatically builds a distributed gateway by using Govee devices around you as node devices. It is used together with Govee's Bluetooth sensors which enables their networking capabilities and smart connection functions, allowing you to enjoy an automated life.

2. How does the distributed gateway work?

Your operation is not required. The devices under your account that meet the criteria will automatically form a distributed gateway.

You can achieve the automation of home appliances by connecting with the distributed gateway on the details page of the device or on the Device Settings page.

Here are two examples about sensors to help you understand:

Example 1: How to use the distributed gateway with a motion sensor

Step 1

Go to the Device Settings page. Connect H5121 to the distributed gateway.

Step 2

Check the status of the connection between H5121 and the distributed gateway to ensure the network works fine.

Step 3

Create an Auto Run, such as “Turn on the light when human motion is detected. ”

Step 4

Enjoy the convenience brought by automation.

Example 2: How to use the distributed gateway with a thermo-hygrometer

Step 1

Go to the Device Settings page. Connect H5179 to the distributed gateway.

Step 2

Check the status of the connection between H5179 and the distributed gateway to ensure the network works fine.

Step 3

Create an Auto Run, such as “Turn on the fan when the temperature exceeds 86℉.”

Step 4

Enjoy the coolness provided through automation.
