govee plugin

[kellermix]

Hi.I just installed the GOVEE plugin and got a API key from GOVEE.
added the key to the setting in the plug and saved.
Can't see govee in the device list. any thoughts?

[shennecke]

Im curious also! Anybody?

[outbackrob]

Search for it. My 2 govee devices got put in a default name type like H6199-C blah blah blah, but each had 7 devices with it.

I searched by the model number of my space heater (H7135) but cannot find anything.

The author (DRule) has indicated he has no plans to develop it further (moving on to Home Assistant).

I do have some Govee light strips that I use via WLED/mcsMQTT. I have never tried their App. I assume it is cloud-based. I am willing to look into this to help. It would be nice if DRule would provide what he already did as a starting point.

Let me know.

As a follow up, I found this YouTube. It may not work with all Govee products, but may be a local solution for govee. Can You Control GOVEE with WLED?! Is it the PERFECT Combo?! (youtube.com)

I do have the Govee plugin installed and works pretty well, but just provides basic on and off capability. I would love to see a new plug-in that did a little more and had some support. Hoping to not have to splice in to all my light sets and move them to weld, but that is a pretty cool option.

Unfortunately the Govee API looks pretty basic, looks to only support, On, Off, Brightness, Color, and Light Temperature.

Hi.I just installed the GOVEE plugin and got a API key from GOVEE.
added the key to the setting in the plug and saved it.

On the Plugin Manage screen it said I needed to start the plugin.
I disabled the plugin. I tried to enable the plugin. It won't enable.
The log shows:

Does anyone know what I should do to get it working?

Thank you,

I restarted the computer running Homeseer.
Govee plugin wasn't installed. I re-installed the plugin. I started the plugin.
I refreshed the plugin page and most of my plugins weren't there anymore.
I re-installed the Govee plugin it did start. After a couple minutes it showed this:

I just re-installed the Nest plugin. The Govee plugin disappeared.
