Where Does Govee Home Store Devices and Scenes?
Where the Govee Home app keeps devices and scenes on Android and iPhone, and what the account syncs.
Last updated
Govee is account led with LAN and Bluetooth beneath. WiFi lights and plugs sync from your login. Bluetooth strips need nearby discovery. The phone holds login, cache, and onboarding clips.
Exact cache names shift with releases, so trust in app storage readouts. For moves, same account plus same WiFi restores most rooms. Walk the house with Bluetooth on for stragglers. Screenshots of DIY effects help, since effect order sometimes reshuffles after account region changes. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move Govee devices to a new phone?
Homes, devices, and scenes follow your Govee account on sign in. Phones hold cache and manual media only. Bluetooth gear needs proximity to fully reappear. Check rooms on the new phone before wiping the old one, since wrong region logins show empty.
Does reinstalling delete my Govee home?
No. Clearing phone data logs out and drops cache, but the cloud account keeps homes and schedules. WiFi gear reappears on the same LAN. Bluetooth lights need nearby rediscovery. Keep the account region consistent to avoid split homes.
