Govee Wallwash Table Lamp
Matter Protocol
The Govee Wallwash Table Lamp from Govee connects to your smart home over Wi-Fi. It joins your existing network directly, without a Thread Border Router or extra hub, and your Matter controller reaches it through your home router.
Wi-Fi Band
Most Matter Wi-Fi devices only connect on 2.4 GHz. If your router combines 2.4 and 5 GHz under one SSID, split them to avoid issues.
Same Network
Your phone, your controller and the device must be on the same network. Guest networks and separate VLANs can block Matter.
Power Use
Wi-Fi uses more power than Thread, so most Matter over Wi-Fi devices run on mains power instead of batteries.
Every Matter device needs a Matter controller, like a smart hub, display or speaker. See all Matter hubs →
Matter Version
Matter 1.3
The Govee Wallwash Table Lamp is certified on Matter 1.3, released in May 2024. It added energy reporting for any device, plus EV chargers, water valves, leak and freeze sensors, ovens, cooktops, microwaves, extractor hoods and dryers. Scenes also became part of the standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp need a smart hub?
Yes, but only a Matter controller from your platform, not a separate bridge. The Govee Wallwash Table Lamp connects straight to your home network. The controller can be an Apple home hub, a Google Nest speaker, an Amazon Echo or Home Assistant.
Does the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp work without internet?
Yes. Matter runs on your local network, so the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp keeps working when your internet goes down. Remote access, voice assistants and some Govee cloud features may still need a working connection.
Does the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp work with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant?
Yes. The Govee Wallwash Table Lamp is Matter certified, so it works with Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as the platform supports Lamp devices. Support for newer device types can differ per platform.
Do I need the Govee app to use the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp?
No. Any Matter hub can set up and control the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp without the Govee app. Some advanced features may not be part of Matter yet, so settings like firmware updates or special modes can still require the Govee app.
How do I set up the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp?
Open your smart home app, choose to add a device and scan the Matter QR code on the Govee Wallwash Table Lamp or its packaging. You can also type in the 11-digit Matter code instead. The app guides you through the rest. Keep the code safe, you need it again after a reset.
