Hi micogg - It’s been a while since you raised your issue - I just connected a set of H7060 floodlights (4 of them in a row) and am facing the same issue - floodlights are only recognized as “one” bulb - so all 4 switch to the same setting when I apply something in HomeAssistant.
With the original Govee app, they could be controlled individually.
Have you been able to work around this limitation so far?
Thank you Holly
Hi guys, I’m new to Home Assistant, moving here from Homebridge trying to see if the integration is better.
So far it detected my smart plugs fine (H5083 and H5080) but they stopped working the next day because it says it reached the 10 000 request limit in 24h. Is there a way to control that?
Edit : I was able to add my lights (H613A and H6196) using the Govee Bluetooth integration custom repository to add them manually and now it works.
I was wondering if there is a way to customize the way the smart plugs are shown? For now they show as lights but can I make them show as outlet or something else with a custom icon? Thanks
Is there any way to change the scene on Govee Hexa (easy or hard) using Home Assistant / nodered? Thank you

So, I’ve actually found a way to answer my own question…
It’s SUPER hacky, but I have combined with the Alexa Media Player integration. I’m using Alexa to enact the scene and push the command via the integration
Only issue is, there doesn’t seem to be a way to set a scene on Govee in Alexa without FIRST setting up a routine for that scene… which is painful. I’ve only done it with one at the moment but it works
If anyone happens to know a command to change the scene in Alexa without setting up a routine then this wouldn’t be that painful a method!!
I have a H6001 (v1.00.05) that I can’t seem to integrate. Any ideas?
Here are some observations:
1.) The Govee integration lacks bringing in scenes. I could see where DIY scenes might be difficult but bringing in the stock ones, like Phillips Hue I hope someone, some day, gets in there.
2.) I have pretty much limited my expectations to just on/off, dim and solid colors only. No multi-color. No chases. No strobing. No music integration.
3.) The newer H7033 light strings do NOT work with the integration, yet. I wonder if this is an API issue or the integration. They do not even group together in the app as a new Govee group. Speaking of groups, adding those as a helper would be kind of cool, too. I was playing with these outside in the backyard last weekend and when I got them installed and they are pretty darn fun to mess around with and when I turn on the “illumination” scene, it is darn near like daylight in the backyard.
4.) Lower that poll interval to 60.
I’m guessing this integration is done for? mine works for an hour then stops.
Lower that poll interval to 60. Mine used to do the same and then I set that. Click on “Configure” in it to make that change. I would show a screen shot but I am not handing out my API key.
Hoping someone has dealt with something like this… I have an H619B LED strip. I want it to cycle between three (more or less possible) colors for several hours each evening. So far, it cylces about 3 times then just stays on the last color. Any thoughts? TIA Here is my script:

I switched all my govee products from this Govee integration to the Govee Lan Control integration there:
For those who are not aware, Govee released a local API to control some of their device (see link below for supported devices). By using the Lan API, you don’t have to rely on their Web API and therefor not limited by the Web API rate limit.
If all your Govee devices support the Lan API, this will solve your problems with the rate limit. If you have a combination of devices that support the Lan API and some that don’t, it will still help reduce the problem with rate limit as the devices that are controllable with the Lan API won’t have the send request the the Web API and so this will reduce the speed at which you would normally reach the rate limit.
I have 3 devices that support the Lan API and 1 that doesn’t, it solved my problem being rate limited as the only device making request on the Web API isn’t enough to reach the rate limt

Thank you for pointing this out. I just installed this and it even covers the two lights I have that were not in the original. Plus, this is a LAN integration (well, WLAN) so I do not have to mess with the cloud.
One thing this lacks, which the original one did, too, is the importing of the scenes from Govee. I got them, at least the colors, with the Hue integration.
this integration is dead they are not going to bring in scenes, they cant even fix the current issues

Keep asking. Be the squeaky wheel.
Has anyone managed to get the new curtain lights working with Home Assistant (either using this or some other way?)
Oddly doesn’t seem to have the Lan option in the settings
Are their any options for H167C. I bought it 6 or so months ago, finally installed and now see that it seemingly is not supported… Any help is appreciated.

I set up the integration last night and was successfully controlling the lights, however this morning it’s not working, I initially got a “This entity is no longer being provided by the govee integration.” error for both my devices, so I tried removing and re-adding the integration - but now after installation, I enter my API key and get an “Cannot connect. Is the API-Key correct and the internet connection working?” error - I have refreshed my API key with Govee and tried the new one to no avail. Any ideas?
Same here. Hass OS latest. Happened over night
This error originated from a custom integration.

Check if your rate limit has exceeded. I assume you can change this with the poll timer but I highly suspect Govee side. I doubt i reached 1000
Same problem here. Unfortunatly I’m not tech savvy enough to fix this on my own. If anyone comes up with a solution, please pass it along. Thanks for the help.

Hi all,
just wanted to report that H619A version is working good for me, I have some issue with the white tones in automations tough. But overall it works fine (a bit slow in my case) you can set colors, brightness, etc.
Thank you!

Is there a way to trigger or call a Govee ‘scene’ instead of just a color?
