Govee integration

I have a set of H7050 I am absolutely DYING to put on WLED, and although they aren’t terribly expensive I’d hate to ruin them, I dont wanna be the first one :upside_down_face:

What is a good Poll Interval?

I keep hitting the maximum number of API requests. :frowning:

I would also like to know the answer to question 1. I have seen that Govee seems to be giving local access to some of its products. But have been unable to find much information about the process.

I have 0 interest in using the Govee app, But local access through HA would be incredible!

there is a new HACS integration for govee with Lan access. However the number of devices supported is still low :’(

Is it possible to control and change colors of different areas with the Govee Neon LED Strip?
The Neon LED Strip looks quite interesting and cool.

How can i add Govee with Home Kit integration? I have added Govee through the official govee integration plugin, added the API and it has found all the devices, but they will not work wtih scenes. I was reading elsewhere HomeKit is more stable and can be automated with other devices. For eg… i wanted to automate starting of Govee immersive TV led strip when TV is started. I have the Sony TV added as HomeKit.

H610A appears to be working for me.

*** GREAT NEWS ***

Govee Appliances (and heaters) are now coming up in the API!

thanks to this post, I realized there was a working version of the Govee LAN control. My lamps H6072, sconces H6087 and dreamview H6199 are in and are responsive (no scenes/effects). My two fans H7101 and H7111 are missing but they’re new to the lineup and I’m sure they’ll be added soon.

H6199?? How? It is not listed as LAN support and in the Govee app it does not appear as lan support

I don’t know but it definitely pulled it in when I used a new api key. Because your response was surprising, I just checked again and it DOES work. I got a rate limit error after about the 15th color test. But on/off CT work just like the other lights.

It doesn’t allow you to trigger the dream view but thats a govee limitation (it’s their number one request). My understanding is they haven’t built this functionality for any of the integrations yet.

I would say maybe its smart enough to detect if it has LAN control or not and it switches to API when it has to but if that were the case, it should’ve pulled in my fans too. I know the dream view doesn’t have a lan control switch so I can’t answer how its being controlled.

I ripped out all previous govee integrations before starting this one.

Thank you for this post. For anyone who wants to be able to control scenes or more complicated colors of your Govee strips, try the method above. It takes a few hours to get everything working correctly, but now my entire home is wired perfectly.

This feels rather odd to me. I have four new Govee H5074 temperature sensors.
I turned them on one by one. Three where quickly found by the Govee Bluetooth integration and easy to set up - but the fourth one doesn’t shoe up there. Even after a restart.
On the other hand, the iBeacon Tracker integration sees all four of them.
This is running the latest HA OS installation on a Raspberry Pi4 with the Bluetooth integration either in active or in passive (doesn’t seem to make a difference).

This thread is about govee custom integration, you might not find help here about core integration and Bluetooth capabilities

Is there anything I can do to help add more functionality to the H7020 outdoor string lights from HA? Packet sniffing, etc?

@deputyd0ng
I’d be willing to buy a set for “science”. Before I go down that road, do you know what voltage these run off of? 36 ft is a long run for 12v so Im assuming these are higher voltage, maybe 24v.

If that is the case, then I might need a beefier PSU or trial and error with some buck converters using the original PSU.

For what it’s worth, I cut off the end of a 12v Govee controller and used my strips with an ESP32 and WLED without any issues. So I have high hopes for this project.

WLED > Govee any day of the week.
I can actually thank govee for their integration nonsense that put me on the path to WLED.

edit:

Reading the amazon reviews says people have cut them and extended them with 3x conductor outdoor wire so I don’t see why these couldnt be converted to WLED. The specs say this is a 24v system, so you would just need a 24v > 5v Buck converter for your esp module and should be good to go. This amazon comment says there are just three wires: black, red and green (assuming green is your data)

5.0 out of 5 stars These CAN be cut, if you know what your doing.

I searched several reviews for this information before ordering them but could not find anything reliable, so i took a chance with them and tried it myself. I used these pucks and placed them in landscape lanterns that i wanted spaced out further than what the lights come at, so i cut them and used 16Ga outdoor rated SO cord to extend them. The OEM wire is three conductor, Red, Black, Green, with each light needing to be placed back into the exact order in the string as they come and the input/output wires not being backwards. If you do as below, cutting/extending them works.

  • Mark all the lights BEFORE you cut any of them, they have to stay in the correct order from the controller, i scribed the plastic housing on each and numbered them 1-15, AND which wire was in and which was out before I cut any. In’s and outs are just as important as the location.
    -Use a watertight connection (shrink tube, junction box, connector etc.) or junction when connecting the wires back together, the lights all need to be wired in series again as they were from the factory.
    -Use a larger gauge wire than what comes with them, i was concerned about voltage drop over the distance I was extending them based on the modest power supply that comes with them. They were successfully extended to about ~4’ apart per light
    -Obviously do this with the lights off and no power present

Its ALOT of work, 6 new watertight connections per light over 15 lights, so its in no way easy, and i could see if you didn’t take time ahead and mark each light how it would not work but if your careful and have basic wiring knowledge and tools it can be done.

I recently added the H6009 bulb and cannot get a scene setup with it to have it at around 10% brightness on a softwhite color. Keep getting the error for the brightness and color temp.

Anyone have any luck with how to determind the brightness and color temp it will work for setting up a scene. Also noticed with my polling rate at different values I can’t try to many times or the API errors out. I’ve tried 40, 100 and 200 with no luck.

Will Govee ever get full support in HA or is this Govee’s issue

Hi, do you know if there will ever be support for the Govee Wifi Space heater model H7131?

In the meantime you can use rest calls to turn the unit on or off. See my post #1008

Has anyone figured out a way to fix the following error? I applied for a new API and still having issues with it not connecting. It worked for a day…

“Cannot connect. Is the API-Key correct and the internet connection working?”
