A HACS repository for Govee light integration
Hi,
we had some contributors, bringing the project forward:
Your help is appreciated! Thank you!
Also many thanks to the supporters at https://buymeacoffee.com/LaggAt
Nothing special in this release, these are just a bunch of fixes and changes never released before.
Thanks go to
If you have issues, the forum is always very helpful, also here on github issues we see growing support. Have fun!
I removed the aiohttp[speedups] requirement which resulted in a compile error reported in forum. This should also speed up Govee integration showing up in integrations, because no time consuming compile should be necessary anymore.
Have fun :)
Hi all!
Two news:
we are now included as default repository in HACS, so no fiddling with custom url anymore, just install HACS and search for govee.
I made some progress on the library rework, and the testing. Please test this version and provide feedback, if anything is working. There are lot of changes. 😄
This progress is a necessary re-work to support ble, which is my next milestone. I separated the library handling state, and the API implementation. Now it is ready to start work on the BLE part. For developers I also managed to get a development container ready including both, the integration and the library. So if you want to get your hands on the code, this is the perfect time to do so. If you run into issues starting your remote container on your Raspberry Pi 4 and/or use BLE just contact me - I want to get this as smooth as possible in future.
Next planned features are:
Keep your fingers crossed, and help on the coffee-into-code thing 👍 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LaggAt
This is just a bugfix release.
It avoids some rare error messages and warnings, and hopefully replaces it with proper messages.
Kind regards, Florian.
Hi,
this is just a small bugfix release, which closes all known open bugs. There are also some changes to the build pipeline, which should make life for other coders easier.
Have fun.
This release enables you to work around an issue in the Govee API (and possible other issues in the future).
Details see here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/govee-integration/228516/454?u=laggat
0.1.7 may break with that release, just update using HACS and it will work again.
Hi,
this version is pinning the library versions (specially the govee-api-laggat to 0.1.39) to specific versions.
PLEASE UPDATE in the next days, I am planning a further update which will introduce a breaking change in the mentioned library. This is necessary for some cleanups and an upcoming feature, making you able to ignore certain updates in state if the API has issues.

Hi, this is just a small release with some small fixes and an added version number in the hass requirements for components. As the previous release was fairly stable, I'll call this a stable version.
Hi, Happy new Year to you all!
Some people with multiple lights ran into issues with the default of 10 seconds between poll intervals.
Background info: Govee allows one request every second. Turning a single light on takes one, setting brightness takes another. Pulling state for a device takes a third request. When we hit this limit over a 100 second period, we are blocked for the rest of this time frame.
So now if you have e.g. 8 devices polling every 10 seconds, 80% of the allowed requests are gone. The underlying library here starts to throttle your request to not get banned. Assume you want to turn on all your lights, turn them to pink and full brightness now: You just did 24 requests, with some settings on even 32.
Only option until now was re-installing the integration. Now you can change the interval and restart home assistant. This release is a beta because I had some issues with the dev environment and testing. It should all work, but I didn't test as good as usual.
regards, Florian.
