I’ve made the switch to Govee 2 MQTT and I am having some major errors. From what I can gather is that once I set up my string lights to hook up to the network, it defaults the color to solid purple. I can go into the app and attempt to change the color. The lights respond by blinking once in that color and defaulting to purple again.
I have been at this for days now and the only thing I have noticed is this:
- Reset lights to factory settings
- change the color of the lights using the Govee App, but only on bluetooth mode
- once I hook up the lights to the network, BOOOM they are purple.
I have used to have them linked to Amazone Alexa with helpers to switch the colors. I have deleted all that and also unlinked the Amazon completely. Still having the same issues.
Can someone help???
Here is the MQTT log:
