Govee support

Is there someone with Govee lights that knows if there is already a Govee Domoticz Python plugin?
They have multiple connection options:

1) There is a public api (you can request api key from the Govee app)
https://govee-public.s3.amazonaws.com/d ... erence.pdf
But this has some tights limits on numbers of calls.

2) Govee also has an Local API within your network:
https://app-h5.govee.com/user-manual/wlan-guide

There are already some Home Assistant plugins available, so others are already exploring the options:
https://github.com/wez/govee-lan-hass
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/g ... api/460757

What do you think??

EDIT: Created a first version of a python plugin

Interesting, I didn't know about option 2.

I've been using option 1, the public API. I just have domoticz send HTTP web curl commands to turn on/off/change color/light intensity of my govee light. Its a cheap light I got for less than $10 on amazon so haven't relied on it too much. Just use it as a status indicator of my house systems.

Looking at the data, it work be cool to combine the api and local udp api.

You can get the device name etc via the http api, and do the rest of the stuff locally via UDP discovery

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

Would result in:

Code: Select all

{
    "data": {
        "devices": [
            {
                "device": "***",
                "model": "H6062",
                "deviceName": "Office Light 1",
                "controllable": true,
                "retrievable": true,
                "supportCmds": [
                    "turn",
                    "brightness",
                    "color",
                    "colorTem"
                ],
                "properties": {
                    "colorTem": {
                        "range": {
                            "min": 2000,
                            "max": 9000
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "message": "Success",
    "code": 200
}
Here you can get the deviceNamd and match the device key (***) with the values you get from the UDP local api

Some more curl commands

1_ get state of device
curl --location --request GET 'https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devi ... del=%model%' \
--header 'Govee-API-Key: %ApiKey%'

Code: Select all

{
    "data": {
        "device": "***",
        "model": "***",
        "properties": [
            {
                "online": true
            },
            {
                "powerState": "on"
            },
            {
                "brightness": 50
            },
            {
                "color": {
                    "r": 255,
                    "b": 0,
                    "g": 127
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "message": "Success",
    "code": 200
}

2_ turning device on/off
curl --location --request PUT 'https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices/control' \
--header 'Govee-API-Key: %ApiKey%' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"device": "%device_id%",
"model": "%model%",
"cmd": {
"name": "turn",
"value": "on"
}
}'

Code: Select all

{
    "code": 200,
    "message": "Success",
    "data": {}
}

2_ turning device brightness
curl --location --request PUT 'https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices/control' \
--header 'Govee-API-Key: %ApiKey%' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
"device": "%device_id%",
"model": "%model%",
"cmd": {
"name": "brightness",
"value": 50
}
}'

Code: Select all

{
    "code": 200,
    "message": "Success",
    "data": {}
}

Hello

Thanks for the information.
I put in place a virtual switch that I managed thanks to MQTT and Node-Red.

And it works fine :)

Maybe I will dig a bit further the documentation to use RGB values etc.

Thanks for that, maybe share your red-node export somewhere if possible?
But it would be cool if we could fix a nice python plugin for Domoticz with Govee

There also seems to be Govee MQTT gateways available so perhaps they are compatible with Domoticz MQTT Autodiscover (HA Protocol).

I've been using the govee plugin, thanks for writing it! I had a power failure and had to reset my govee permanent outdoor light controller, I had to re-add them to the app. Now the plugin seems to see them but they don't work, no errors in the debug logs. I've set the lights for local api access. Any idea what could be wrong?

I think I found the issue. My govee lights got a new IP and it stopped working after that. I had to delete the device from Domoticz and add it again to get it working. I still have random issues where the log says the device index does not exist when used in a script.

I've an error msg "2024-09-14 21:18:15.476 Error: Govee Discover hardware (31) thread seems to have ended unexpectedly" every 14 seconds,but the light works properly.

If you have a solution, thanks a lot !
