Govee integration

I have the gove T2 ambilight i think its H605.

cant get it to turn on after it been off for a while. once started via the mobile app automations work for a few hours. what could i be doing wrong?

Has anyone gotten the Hexa lights H6061 to work? My RGBIC strip lights H619 work, but I just bought the hexa ones and while they show up in the integration as devices/entities they donā€™t turn on/off. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Fixed it. Wi-fi wasnā€™t connectā€¦arghhhh.

I have the same issue.
On and off is fine. But once you change the colour from HA, only the Govee app can put it back into video mode! :frowning:

Can anyone tell me why the integration isnā€™t working, this is the error message Iā€™m getting.

Same issue with ā€˜masterā€™, same fix using version 0.2.2 instead

Does anyone know if any of the Govee fans are now integrating with Home Assistant? Hoping to get this hereā€¦

But if thatā€™s not working will move on and look
Into Vornado or another brand hoping theyā€™ll connect.

Keep getting the same. There is a ā€œCaveatsā€ section at the bottom of hacs-govee/README.md at master Ā· LaggAt/hacs-govee Ā· GitHub that says 60 poll per minute limit - and to increase the Poll Interval in the Govee integration ā€œConfigureā€ menu. Mine was set to 10, trying 60 now.

I assume this will add delay in HA getting updates of external state changes (e.g. Govee app or physical button press).

I get the same sometimes. Especially after an update or restart.

H61A0 is working fine (Neon LED Stripe)
But is there a possibility to have an transition when switching on and off?
Like my Hues does. I use both next to each other and it really bothers me, this harsh on/off of the Govee

I just got a H7051 24-light outdoor puck light set from them. The app on the phone took a little getting used to and I obtained an API from them and used HACS to install the integration then added my API key.

I get an overall on or off. That is it. Is there a way to set the app to individually control LEDs or is this all that is available? I realize individual control could get quite lengthy if you have 24 lights X 3 RGB X 255 Levels. Just asking the question. Worst case scenario, I turn these on or off with my sunset/sunrise automations and change colors with my phone.

If there was a way for the API to pull your and/or factory saved colors or scenes, like Hue, that would work, too.

having this error when trying to control my govee lights. any way to limit the API requests?

Is anyone aware of any plans from Govee to support the setting of modes (movie, game etc) through the API?

It seems completely ridiculous to me that there is absolutely no way to change from movie to game via the API. For someone like me who regularly switches between gaming and movies/tv, itā€™s pretty essential to change between the movie and game modes.

Is there any possible way that anyone has achieved it? Or is it simply not doable today?

How do you all cope? :slight_smile:

Same but it just stays like that even after an update or not.

If you have Amazon Echos then you can use the Govee skill and the HA Alexa media player integration to achieve this. You just need to create an automation in Alexa which switches the modes and then you can call this automation from HA. It is a weird workaround but currently the only way to switch modes from HA.

Has anyone notice that there are intermittent issues with the API being accessible at times? I have had numerous instances where the lights did not turn off at sunrise yet, later, I could turn them off. Also, I have seen where the integration is reporting an API error that fixes itself later on.

Right! Same here!!

Error setting up entry Govee-HAIntegration for govee

Just a heads up - I encountered the same error here. When clicking ā€œconfigureā€ on the Govee integration I also confirmed my poll interval was defined as 25 and still not loading. After a closer inspection, I found that the file /config/govee_learning.yaml was missing a value of set_brightness_max for one of the devices:

  set_brightness_max: 
  get_brightness_max: 100
  before_set_brightness_turn_on: false
  config_offline_is_off: false

Once I added the value 100 manually and re-loaded the Govee integration all worked as expected. I hope this helps someone here:

  set_brightness_max: 100
  get_brightness_max: 100
  before_set_brightness_turn_on: false
  config_offline_is_off: false
