Claude and I built a custom integration for controlling Govee lights via direct unicast UDP — no cloud, no multicast, no external dependencies.
Why another Govee integration?
Existing options either rely on the cloud API (rate-limited to 10K requests/day) or use multicast discovery (breaks across VLANs). This integration sends commands directly to each device's IP address, so it works with standard routed networks.
Features:
- On/off, brightness, RGB color, color temperature (2000K–9000K)
- 238 built-in scene effects for H706A and H6076
- Fully async (asyncio.DatagramProtocol) — no threads, no blocking
- Works across VLANs/subnets with standard IP routing
- Configure button to edit device IP and name
- Zero external dependencies
Supported devices: Any Govee light with LAN Control support (H6076, H706A, H610A, H619A, H6072, and more)
