Govee integration

[gentini]

So right now, the light is on but showing off in HA.

When I click the light on in Home Assistant, it turns the light off and switches it to on in HA

or maybe I’m just confused and being an idiot because i think the light grey represents that it is on, and the blue means it’s off…

I’m sorry, it was a rough morning lol

Coffee being sent your way for my ignorance

This explains it. Dark mode is a bit confusing with these colors. Thanks, I’ll enjoy the coffee.

I specifically set “show_state” to true to get the On/Off/Unknown status since for some of the Govee lights (like mine) the API does not return state but the integration does. So the integration will set this to on/off but the icon color will not update.

[LaggAt (Florian Lagg)]

@LaggAt

API:power_state

Govee API is working again, you want to remove this option by typing a space in that field.

Good point. Thougt a second to make this the default if a device doesn’t support state. This would possibly hinder people using other apps like Govee Home together with this integration. Currently they are offered two buttons and can always switch on and off.

@LaggAt

Is the API up?
We also have you covered here, again by a graph wich is testing two main functions: get device list, and get state for these devices. This is updated every 30 minutes.
If this reports an error, this may be an issue by the library we use and code, but more likely the Govee API has an issue and someone may want to write them a mail.

CAUTION: picture is cached here, if you want to see the current usage graph click here.

Just added this to the first post, so that you can always check if the system is in good condition.
You may want to bookmark that link.

In the next release this graph will also show up in the integration information in HACS, so if something fails you can quickly check the system status.

What do you get when you set to 1% via the govee app, or another app? Can you set to 1% via HA?

[LaggAt (Florian Lagg)]

Yes, this is working for me, and likely for almost all here. Anyway: we need to find out how your device with those negative numbers behave.

I’ve got no useful info from Govee support, and the docs state there are no negative brightness values (to be exact: a range from 0…100 is mentioned. Are you used to try some requests using Postman?

[drewHA]

Good to know I’m special! Unfortunately I don’t have experience with postman. I have seen it mentioned so I will definitely have a look. Right now I’ve got a big exam coming up mid September so I won’t be able to explore it until after that. More to come in a month or so.

[LaggAt (Florian Lagg)]

We will get this figured sooner or later. I have some ideas, just need to work them out a bit.
All the best for your exam.

Hi @LaggAt I have been noticing the following error since today.

Setup failed for govee: Unable to import component: cannot import name ‘Govee’ from ‘govee_api_laggat’ (/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/govee_api_laggat/init.py).

This is preventing the govee integration from loading. I am on core-2021.9.3 which I updated today. I am not sure if the two are related.

I am able to operate the lights using the app on wifi and bluetooth.

Hm, I’ll try the update today when I’m home later.

[LaggAt (Florian Lagg)]

Works here, also after updating. Are you on the latest version?

[rybackisback]

Hi @LaggAt thanks for the follow-up. Yes im running core 2021.9.3 and HACS Govee version [0.2.1].

Im not sure what is causing the error. I already tried re-installing the HACS integration and switching off and on the power to the light strip with no luck.

I went into integrations to try and remove the integration to retry the setup but it doesn’t allow me to delete the integration? Do you know how I can force delete?

[rybackisback]

Hi @LaggAt I finally managed to delete the integration by deleting the contents of the pycache folder and I uninstalled the HACS integration. But now I cant reinstall the integration after reinstalling the HACS integration.- i get the error “Config flow could not be loaded”. Can you please help?

[LaggAt (Florian Lagg)]

@rybackisback

i get the error “Config flow could not be loaded”.

Hi, please provide debug logs. See first post for instructions. Thanks.

[rybackisback]

Hi @LaggAt it seems like my ha instance was playing up. I finally restored a copy from my backup and everything is back to normal. Appreciate your help!

[chrismdann]

I requested a new api code from govee and then restarted ha and it atarted working.

[sortino (Joshua Sortino)]

At no point in the Govee integration install did it ask for my API key. When is this supposed to trigger? Govee is installed, but I never inputted my key.

I can also manually add the key, but I can’t find anything in the files for the variable placeholder.
