Govee integration

Did this move? I see screenshots where it was on the api key page at setup. I looked all over and couldn’t find the setting so I deleted the integration and when I re-added it, I was not prompted for my polling selection. It asked for API key only and save.

Brand new installation with this error when trying to set up for the first time in the UI. Any ideas?

2023-04-30 12:13:07.148 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config_entries] Error occurred loading flow for integration govee: No module named 'govee_api_laggat.govee_errors’

I scrapped the manual install and installed through HACS. I got a bit further with it showing in the UI now, but there are no devices.

I got an error that the API exceeded the rate limit of 10000 and I tried to uninstall the integration and then redownload it through HACS and I keep getting an error stating Cannot connect. Is the API-Key correct and the internet connection working?

Does anyone have any idea how to get the integration to work again

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

Getting this error constantly. API is correct as I use it for other purposes already.

I get the same error. It used to work but it stopped recently.

same, it’s annoying me, it works after 12 am but then in the morning when I actually want to use it it doesn’t work

This plugin is dead y’all. Your stable options are

Homebridge

  1. install homebridge https://homebridge.io/
  2. install homebridge Govee plugin
    GitHub - bwp91/homebridge-govee: Homebridge plugin to integrate Govee devices into HomeKit.
  3. install homesite controller in homeassistant HomeKit Controller - Home Assistant
  4. nothing, you’re done and Govee devices appear as entity devices in HA

OR

Assistant

  1. Connect Govee to Google Assistant or Amazon Alex
  2. Install and configure the HA integration depending on which one you use
    Google Assistant SDK - Home Assistant
    Amazon Alexa - Home Assistant
  3. Setup your automations to issue cmds to your assistant to control the Govee devices.

I’m sorry - I have to disagree, the Govee Integration is working just fine for me. I have one floor lamp, and two sets (one with four lights, one with two) of color floodlights, and they all turn on/off/color change/brightness change just fine. At WORST - sometimes (but not always, maybe 3 out of 10 times) for changing the color of the floods I have to click the color a couple times.

Is this project dead? Last update seems over a year ago…

I have the H5082 and it isn’t detected (yet shows up fine in the android Govee app), only my 4 strip light devices are showing in Home Assistant. Do I have to do something special to even get this plug to show up at all?

curl --location --request GET 'https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices' --header 'Govee-API-Key: MY_API_KEY'

doesn’t show it either I guess… :cry:

Related, I also have two H5074 temperature sensors. While I don’t have Bluetooth working on my HA, when I do, should I expect these to be discovered too, or are they (also) not supported?

It’s still working, but it hasn’t had any updates in a very long time and there’s no local support

Check it again? There was an update a couple days ago.

Maybe we’re talking about different integrations. I was talking about GitHub - LaggAt/hacs-govee: A HACS repository for Govee light integration that I don’t see to have been updated for a year.
Now I’ve moved to this one GitHub - wez/govee-lan-hass: Control Govee lights via the LAN API from Home Assistant for local control anyway, and so far so good

Man, I’m sorry, I didn’t realize there was another Govee integration! That’s what I get for not reading the beginning of a thread! Glad you ended up on the other one govee-lan-hass) - that IS the one I was talking about that I use.

Govee never enabled local control for my string lights (Don’t get what the hold up is, no incentive for them I suppose) I still use the regular old non local control and it works fine.

@LaggAt I submitted a PR here: fix(GoveeErrors namespace): Import GoveeError from `govee_api_laggat` by wwelles · Pull Request #117 · LaggAt/hacs-govee · GitHub

This fixed the custom component as it wasn’t working for me. I just imported GoveeError from govee_api_laggat in custom_components/govee/light.py and custom_components/govee/config_flow.py

Hope this helps someone else!

Hello all,
Just posting here to let you all know, that I have forked a HACS integration for local control of bluetooth enabled Govee lights and added support for a few additional light strips. Its very barebones right now but seems to work well enough. I’m new to integration development but feel free to check it out here if you want to try out to local control:

Hey cool! I have some H6127 strips that I’m trying to integrate, but when I add this custom integration I get “No devices found on the network” - any advice? I’m fairly new to HA so maybe I’m missing something obvious.

Works with H615A ( which is unsupported with the Govee local api ) but only brightness can be controlled so far

Nevermind, I figured this out and it works amazingly well! Thank you! <3<3
