Getting Started
- Install the provided AAA batteries into the water sensor.
- Download the 'Govee Home' app from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app and sign up with your email account.
- Tap the '+' icon at the top right corner and select the H5040 device.
- Press the pairing button on the sensor for 3 seconds until the red and blue light flash alternately.
- Enter your WiFi password, ensuring accuracy and noting any special characters or spaces.
- Follow the app prompts to connect your WiFi "Govee_Gateway_xxxx" with your 2.4Ghz home WiFi network.
- Place the water sensors in the desired detecting locations and name each sensor within the app (e.g., basement, kitchen).
Operation
Once the sensor is set up and placed in the desired location, it will monitor for water leakage. If water is detected, the sensor will sound the alarm and send a notification to your phone via the Govee Home App.
Troubleshooting Tips
- If the sensor does not connect to WiFi, ensure you are using a 2.4Ghz network as 5Ghz is not supported.
- Ensure that your phone settings allow for "push" notifications from the Govee Home App.
- If the sensor alarm is not triggered by a small amount of water, check that the sensor probes are making contact with the surface. Adjust if necessary.
- If the gateway does not send push notifications, wait at least 90 seconds before testing again as it will not send notifications if a leak is detected within that time frame.
- For any issues with app connectivity or account setup, reinstall the app and ensure you have a stable internet connection.
