# How to move a device to a different room in the Lightwave App

## This guide explains how to move a device to a different room in the Lightwave app. This allows you to quickly reassign devices without removing or re-pairing them.

#### **🏠 Move a Device to a Different Room**

If a device has been assigned to the wrong room, you can quickly move it using the **Show in Rooms** setting—no need to delete or re-add the device.

---

#### **Before You Start**

Make sure the room you want to move the device to has already been created in the app. You can find out how to create a room in the Lightwave App [here.](https://support.lightwaverf.com/knowledge/how-to-create-a-room-and-zone-on-the-linkplus-app?hsLang=en)

#### **⚙️ Update the Device Room**

Follow these steps to move your device:

**1. Open the device settings**  
Go to the room where the device is currently located and tap on the device.  
Then select the **settings icon** in the top-right corner.
