Hello Everyone

I am using Homey Pro 2026 and have Zooz ZEN76 switches as my controllers. I am attempting to use Govee H600B Matter Smart Bulbs in a light fixture. I preconditioned the bulbs prior to inserting them in the fixture and can access them in both the Govee iPhone app and the Homey app (iPhone and web). When I take the bulbs from the preconditioning fixture to the light fixture controlled by the ZEN76, the Govee app tells me the bulbs are

Hello Everyone

I am using Homey Pro 2026 and have Zooz ZEN76 switches as my controllers. I am attempting to use Govee H600B Matter Smart Bulbs in a light fixture. I preconditioned the bulbs prior to inserting them in the fixture and can access them in both the Govee iPhone app and the Homey app (iPhone and web). When I take the bulbs from the preconditioning fixture to the light fixture controlled by the ZEN76, the Govee app tells me the bulbs are no longer connected. I precondition the bulbs in a night light fixture near my desk and unscrew them before screwing them into my fixture (3-4 minutes max) which is no different than a brief power failure.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you

PS - the ZEN76 is in smart bulb mode so it is always on

Do you wait long enough (typically 1-2 minutes) for them to reconnect to the WiFi network and the Govee cloud?

Also, do you have good WiFi coverage there? IoT devices like the Govee bulbs often use weaker antennas than f.e. a smartphone.
