Introduction
The Govee Smart Button Switch supports two independent single clicks to trigger actions. It can be fixed on most indoor surfaces using the included adhesive tape. Through Bluetooth communication with Govee's unique distributed gateway, it can transfer signals activated by button presses to trigger automation and execute commands from other Govee products, enabling multiple intelligent scenarios.
