Govee integration

TheFourDees:

was just fiddling with this tonight and you can definitely send at least brightness and RGB color with the service call using Node Red.

The data format for the call is:
 {'rgb_color' : [255, 189, 134], 'brightness' : 255}
(brackets instead of parenthesis).

I was still having problems with the colour picker in my scene jumping back down to 40% brightness so this solves the problem by not using a scene and setting color and brightness in a light.turn_on service call.

GREAT WORK on this integration!

can you share a screen print of your service node as I cannt get this working - thanks

I’ve since switched to the native HA automations and use a scene for this now.

But my flow I was using:

Hi,
Just received my first Govee product, the H6076 Click here

So I can turn the light on and off and I can select colours and white light.

Is it also possible to call scenes and/or animations with this integration?

Neekster · January 4, 2022, 8:51pm

No. You are not able to call scenes through this integration.

alkissack · January 4, 2022, 9:26pm

Thanks Jay, that works fine. much appreciated

I have a H6159 light. In the Govee app I can control the modes and different colors. However, in HA using the Govee integration, I can only turn it on and off. No color options nor mode selections. Earlier in thread it says that 6159 is supported. What am I doing wrong?

Neekster · January 6, 2022, 3:05am

Wierd. It even shows color and color temp supported in the screen shot you sent. Try removing and readding the integration.

tmchow · January 6, 2022, 8:27am

I removed the integration completely and restarted. Reinstalled and readded the device. Still same result. Only on/off control

The Homebridge Govee plugin has the ability to set scenes, including DIY modes. Maybe someone can take a look at how that works and get that implemented in this addon.

Neekster · January 7, 2022, 12:52am

Here’s the info for the API. I don’t see anything about scenes or DIYs, though I may have missed it. Do we know how HomeBridge communicates with the lights? Is that through the API?

maiorania · January 7, 2022, 2:59am

Yes, it uses the API for devices that support it. The Homebridge plugin doesn’t have the ability to discover effects you have saved, but you can manually set them using “AWS codes” as it calls them. They are then exposed as toggles in Homekit.

I was able to control these toggles with Home Assistant using some HomeKit automations, but it’d be nice to have it built in to the Home Assistant integration.

Neekster · January 7, 2022, 3:36am

Interesting. So it’s got some special Govee access that HomeAssistant doesn’t.

bwp91 · January 7, 2022, 8:22am

Nothing special from govee, just alternative connection methods that are public on github in various places!

Neekster · January 7, 2022, 12:47pm

True, though I would assume that those AWS codes wouldn’t be for apps other than Govee Home since it isn’t published in the API docs.

bwp91 · January 7, 2022, 8:03pm

The idea of aws code i have invented. it’s probably some encoded string, but i’ve seen a lot of variation of different commands between models, and actually replicating what the govee app can do within the apple home app interface would be impossible, so easiest solution was what i have implemented!

suther · January 7, 2022, 8:27pm

Hey there,
today I found this temperature sensor from govee: Amazon.de
Is there any chance to use it in HA ( in best case offline) ?

maiorania · January 7, 2022, 10:37pm

I now see above that you’ve discussed with LaggAt about working on this integration, has any progress been made on that?

Neekster · January 8, 2022, 1:04am

If you’re using a Raspberry Pi or any device with Bluetooth, you can connect it to HomeAssistant through the Passive BLE integration or the Govee Thermohygrometer integration, both of which can be found in HACS

suther · January 8, 2022, 7:34am

Sound great. Thank you

Just added this to my HA and it discovered my TV Backlights (H6199). i can turn them on and off, but i don’t see a color picker in the card. is there something i need to do to enable it? I also see a lot of these errors in the log:"

which may be what is causing the issue. Any hints for a complete noob?
