Before you buy
Owners report the H6008 comes back on at full brightness after a power cut and has no setting to change that. Several also had trouble adding Govee bulbs to Apple Home over Matter; one skipped the Govee app and added them straight from Home with Add Accessory, while others pointed to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi limits and called Govee's Matter support poor.

FAQ
Does the Govee H6008 work with Apple Home?
Yes, over Matter: the Matter certification ledger lists the H6008. Owners report mixed results adding it through the Govee app, and one added bulbs directly in Home with Add Accessory.
Can I control it with Bluetooth only?
Yes. An H6008 owner says you can skip the Wi-Fi setup and use Bluetooth. Remote control through the Govee app or Alexa needs the Wi-Fi connection.
Does it remember its state after a power cut?
No. Owners say the H6008 turns on after an outage, and one reply says the bulb has no option to change that.
Does it need 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi?
Yes. The Amazon listing asks for a stable 2.4 GHz connection, and an owner suggests turning off the 5 GHz radio if both bands share one network name.
