Govee integration

[kenw4077]

I use the Govee Bluetooth integration (core not HACS) with their hydrometers. In the Govee app you can make adjustments to the calibration. Those adjustments are in-app only as HA still shows the original/raw BLE data this is un calibrated.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement a calibrated value ( say -2% ) in HA?
I am sure there is a way to create a temp value that = current state - 2% which would work. But maybe there is a better way. I am using this to drive the gauge widget.

You can either create a template sensor or input helper with an automation to adjust it’s value when actual sensor changes.

Thanks got it implemented with templates.

- platform: template
  sensors:
    humidor_top:
      value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.top_govee_humidity'))|float - 3.2}}"
    humidor_bottom:
      value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.bottom_govee_humidity'))|float - 3.1}}"

Hey guys, did anyone try one of the space heaters with the Govee integration?
It seems that in the documents of the API’s they are available, but before I’m going to purchase one, I’m checking if it is really working with the integration.
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing this. I added Homebridge to my HA via Portainer, and then was able to make the fans and such visible in HA. Not quite working properly yet, but this is further than I was!

Hello, thank you for this integration! I just added a Govee H6056 light bar to my HA. Now I’d like to set up an automation that changes the color temperature depending on the time of day. However, I am only able to change the brightness.

It seems that the only way to control color and color temperature is manually on the device’s entity card.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how these settings can controlled in an automation? I searched this thread and wasn’t able to find anything that directly addresses this question. Would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks!

not sure if this request belongs here, but govee just released a smart air quality monitor, was wondering if the sensors and entities could be integrated in this integration?

Govee Smart Air Quality Monitor

This was just released, and I grabbed one since I was looking for a cheapish Air quality monitor with a screen. Also shows temp and humidity on the screen: Obviously, being a brand new product, just wanted to give a heads-up that Govee BLE does detect it but gives some crazy values (200F degrees, no AQI reading). I connected it to wifi via the Govee app but there’s no integration for it yet. Anyone know the first steps on getting this working? Good alternative to the Amazon one that still isn…

I just installed the Govee wifi meat thermometer to my outdoor sauna (finally found the perfect one for it!), but it looks like the Govee integration is not set up for this one yet. Would there be something in the pipeline for it?

It is the Govee H5198 - Wifi Meat Thermometer, 4 probes. Wifi is perfect in my case since that is the only option as it’s deep in the woods but next to an AP. I did find someone on Homebridge-Govee GitHub plugin that was able to pull the relevant blurb through postman:

Maybe this helps?

Hello, I have searched this thread for the strip lights that I have, but they don’t appear to be listed at all: they’re the H6179. How would I provide you with information to get them added?

[nb84 (Nick B)]

I can confirm that H6143 and H6144 are supported, at least as far as basic on/off functionality. I haven’t tested setting color or color temperature yet.

Getting support for modes (available on these models without BLE) or even settings snapshots would be amazing. The major reason I haven’t messed with colors is that HA can (so far) only set a single color, so I’d have to go back into the Govee app to reset them to the DIY profile’s I built for them. Haven’t been able to find anything in the API documentation (which isn’t great to begin with) regarding either of those, so for the time being just using for on/off automations.

Happy to test and provide info if needed though.

Today I managed to build a creative solution to switch between color and movie (ambilight) mode from within HA for the Dreamlight (T1).

For whoever is interested this is how it can be achieved:

1. In the GOVEE app create an Auto Run command that immediately switches to movie mode whenever the lights are being turned on.

This causes the lights to automatically jump to Movie mode (within a few sec) whenever you toggle the light strip on/of from within HA.

2. In order to use the ledstrip as part of your scenes build a script that: first turns the light strip on (the GOVEE automation will take over and switch it directly to Movie mode) Second wait for ± 5sec and then again run a light.turn_on but this time also provide the color you would like. This overrides the “Movie mode” and turns it into “Color mode”.

3. If you want to use is as ambilight again just toggle the light strip.
   Example:
   Whenever I turn on my Apple TV, an automation runs that first turns off the light strip. ±5 sec later it turns it back on again. At that point the GOVEE automation will again take over and switch it to Movie mode.

–
The downside is that whenever you want to use it as part of your scene, there is some delay (and color flickering). This happens because when you run the script to turn it on as a solid light, it first turns on in Movie mode (because of that GOVEE automation) and for a few seconds it picks up the camera input before HA overrides it again with a solid color.

But it’s a downside I’m willing to take as long as it allows HA to switch the mode of the lightstrip.

Any luck with the flood lights?

Govee integration has very limited range of supported devices and I have been seeing like this as far as I remember so I wouldn’t buy any non supported Govee devices right now.

[mkjr75 (Mike)]

I’m trying to use the H5063 and H5062. I see that the H5061 is supported, but cannot seem to get the 62/63 to be found. Any ideas?

[takumipui]

Hi Nick,
I just got myself a H6143 and I’m struggle to get it working
it always stay in “Unavailable”.
I tried 0.2.2 and 0.2.1 govee integration, both no luck,
am I missing something?

I can see there is a file called ‘govee_learning.yaml’ is created in /config folder

Edit: I realized my firewall block it, it connects now

[Behr]

For some reason I don’t have the option with the T2 to do this. I tired turning it on but there are two problems. It first still turns the light to a specific color based on a scene. Second it is a 5 min command for me, but more importantly it just doesn’t activate the automation for some reason…

Hey there everybody, maybe someone can help me out. A few weeks ago my Govee Neon Rope became unavailable. I have only 2 Govee devices, and the other (govee glide) works just fine. I’ve tried: restarting HA, restarting the whole computer, removing integration from HACS and integrations, getting a new API, and nothing helped. The rope works fine in the Govee app on my phone.
Any ideas? Thank you.

[bearded]

Unfortunately I don’t have a T2 to check this for you. My description might have been a bit vague so these are more exact just to make sure you did it similarly.

• Go to Command
• Add a Auto Run command
• As trigger select your device and choose "on"
• As real-time act select "Movie Watching DreamView"

That should do the trick at least for my T1.

H6056 works ok for colours, temperature, switching on/off, as well as state. Not sure if I’m missing anything

[omayhemo (Doug)]

This is the direction I’m going. I’ve begun ditching Govee in favor of home grown individually addressable using WLED. It’s working great!
