What Is a GroupID and How Can I Enter It?

A GroupID is the code that links your Friendship Lamps together — lamps that share the same GroupID can send and receive colours with each other. This article explains what a GroupID is, how to create one, how to join someone else's group, and how to connect a lamp to a second group.

What is a GroupID?

A GroupID is a code the LuvLink app generates when you first set up your Friendship Lamp and start a new group. It must be all lowercase, no spaces, and the only special character allowed is an underscore.

Creating a new GroupID

1. Download the LuvLink app on iOS or Android.
2. Follow the Friendship Lamps Setup Guide.
3. Tap Create a new group in the app — a GroupID is generated automatically.

Whoever creates the group becomes the group admin and must approve new member requests. You'll get these requests by email and as in-app notifications.

Connecting to an existing group

1. Download the LuvLink app.
2. Tap + Add Device on your dashboard.
3. Select Connect to an existing group.
4. Enter the GroupID carefully.
5. Configure your Wi-Fi credentials and save.

Once connected, the lamp displays yellow while it waits for the admin to approve it.

Connecting to a second group

You can also link a lamp to a second group:

1. Tap the cog wheel icon in the app settings.
2. Open GroupID under Device Information.
3. Under Second GroupID, select either Create a new group or Connect to an existing group.
