The provided context does not contain specific instructions on updating the router and name for the Govee H5040. However, based on general practices for similar devices, follow these steps:
1. Update Router Settings: - Ensure the new router is set to a 2.4GHz WiFi network, as many smart devices do not support 5GHz. - If using a dual-band router, separate the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks with different SSIDs. - Disable band steering if needed.
2. Reconnect Govee H5040 to WiFi: - Open the Govee app and remove the H5040 device if previously added. - Reset the H5040 device following the manufacturer’s instructions. - Go through the "Add Device" process in the Govee app and enter the new WiFi credentials.
3. Rename Device: - Once connected, go to the device settings in the Govee app. - Locate the renaming option and enter the desired name.
If issues persist, contacting Govee customer support may be necessary.

To receive water leak notices on your iPhone for the Govee H5040:
1. Download the App – Install the "Govee Home" app from the App Store. 2. Sign Up and Add Device – Open the app, sign up with your email, and tap the "+" icon to select the H5040 device. 3. Connect to Wi-Fi – Press the Wi-Fi pairing button on the gateway for three seconds until the red and blue lights flash alternately. Enter your Wi-Fi password in the app (note: does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi). 4. Pair Sensors – The water sensors and gateway are pre-paired, but you can manually pair them using the 433 pairing button if needed. 5. Enable Notifications – Once connected, the system will send real-time alerts via app notifications and email when a water leak is detected.
Ensure your iPhone has notifications enabled for the "Govee Home" app to receive alerts.

The possible reason for not receiving notifications from the Govee H5040 water sensors and hub after a power loss could be that the Wi-Fi gateway lost its connection and did not automatically reconnect. The LED indicator on the gateway can help diagnose the issue:
- If the LED is solid red, it failed to reconnect to Wi-Fi. - If the LED is flashing blue slowly, it is ready to connect but not connected. - If the LED is flashing blue quickly, it is trying to reconnect.
To restore notifications, check if the gateway is connected to Wi-Fi and re-pair it if necessary.
Need help?
