Govee integration

Thats a huge step … thankts for posting here.
I havn’t seen information on music mode and scenes, great work.

I’m still fiddling on the dev container, just building with --network-mode=host, which sounds logically right. It just takes a looooong time on the RPi if you are used to an high end dev machine otherwise :slight_smile:

Heh. Well it’s a fork of a fork. Just standing on other people’s shoulders. Most of that information is from BeauJBurroughs. I just updated it to be H6199 relevant.

That’s it, think I’ll package that dev container on docker hub, to save time rebuilding it …
Progress: BLE Scan works inside the dev container:

Yes! This approach sounds promising :smiley:

Discovering BLE devices using the bluetooth_le_tracker component inside my dev environment. We’re making progress!

Let’s get some coffee … and some sleep.

Question to you all …
Just wanted to see if the devices are discoverable on the network…

Do your devices also use a Realtek MAC address?

For my strip the WiFi uses a MAC address from “Shenzhen Feitengyun Technology Co.,LTD”

The Bluetooth address is from Telink Semiconductor

It may take some while until it shows up in integrations, just install it and wait a bit.
If it still fails consider turning on debug logs (see first post) reinstall, maybe reboot and get the log lines mentioning Govee for each stage. Then post here.

I’ve tried the “Govee Ambi-Light” - is there a possibility just turn it on and off in the configured mode?
If i use on/off it always goes to color mode instead of video mode.

API doesn’t support that.

I have successfully installed this integration, thanks it works great.
Just one issue - I have 2 strips (both H6159) but just one is working and I cannot find any reason or difference that stands out. Both work in the Govee app.
The 2nd won, I’ve called it “Counter”, just shows “Unavailable”.
Any help will be appreciated.

Is it configured to your WiFi? The app uses BLE too, maybe that’s why it is working.
You could also enable debug log as described in first post and post here for further diagnostics.

Wow, pretty basic. I really thought I had configured the WiFi connection. Now I just feel silly.
Thanks, came online in HA immediately.

Any more progress :slight_smile: I am eager to see the BLE parts working so I can get that darn thermostat reading in HA.

@LaggAt
I just verified that someone as a PR that fixes the version requirement that takes effect in June.
Just letting you know here in case you missed it in GitHub.

Hi, didn’t happen to me… could you enable debug logging and post the log content here? First post describes how.

me too, just had no time for much progress. For any coder who wants to help, I made a dockerized debug environment on a remote RPi4 supporting BLE.

Thanks, I’ll look into that.
