Is the device that is not seeing the scene setup with LAN Control with a IP address specified. Also is it the same model number as the device the DIY was extracted on.
I bought an H7135 space heater and it works great with the Govee integration. I saw another thread that seemed to indicate problems. But, it's good. Is there a way to get it to interact locally on the LAN or is it cloud only? It's fine as I don't think I'll be pushing the 1000 calls a day or anything, but just curious.
Thanks.
I have a few of the two-light spotlights (H7065). Is there a way to control the individual light colors per spotlight on the same device?
Looking in the device page, it only shows the color of the first spotlight and changing it changes both to the same color.
I can have separate colors set in the Govee app which is maintained when they get turned off or on by Hubitat, but I'd really like to be able to modify them separately through Hubitat to better automate things.
Maybe I overlooked when searching the thread but any help would be appreciated. Seems to work great otherwise. I also set them up with LAN control if that makes a difference.
The Cloud API that the Govee integration is currently using does not have that ability. It was generally a all device control option.
That said just yesterday Govee released a new API with many extended functions.. It does have a way to support what you are asking, though I haven't gotten that far with figuring out the api yet. That will likely be a advanced function that may take a bit to add.
There is also the Local LAN API that you can use. The method there would be to simply create snapshots and use them to set each light the way you want them.
OKay after thinking about it last night and working a little bit on it today I have been able to pretty much move all existing cloud functionality in the current Light drivers to the new API. ![]()
So that is pretty cool and a great start. I am testing it now and have a few things still left to figure out. I haven't touched new functionality yet, but figured i would give a small update after my comment yesterday.
Alright cool, thanks for the info. Is there any documentation (or a post in the thread here) on how to create and use the snapshots here? That would work fine for me and all of my spotlights are setup for the LAN connection as well.
It is the same as DIY's which as been discussed a few times above. The gist of it though is
- Add Gove Home creds to Gove Integration on HE.
- Create the group and DIY's/Snapshots in tap to runs in Govee HOme App.
- Run the extract process in the Govee Integration app
It is. I was able to bring scene to the device in the past. What other troubleshooting steps can be performed?
Alright thanks, I got some of that setup. Only question - does this work strictly with DIYs and Scenes and not the set color option within the tap to run?
When I run the extract, the device name and type are returned but the scene name and command are not. If I switch the tap to run to a pre-built scene/mode, the extract has everything filled in.
Also adding that setting the colors via DIY only appears to allow for a single color selection and not a gradient like what's available within a tap to run which is why I set it that way.
Update: I ended up using Alexa and a virtual sensor to turn on the tap to run scenes with my Hubitat. Maybe Iām doing something wrong trying to extract it but I couldnāt get it to pick up the color function scenes, just the existing ones.
The scene extract process is designed to only handle scenes, DIY's and Snapshots that only use dynamic scenes. Anything that can be done with just HE like setting a color isn't extracted intentionally.
I guess that makes sense but HE canāt set the colors individually per light in devices like the Spotlight. It sets both the same.
I guess if this is designed to intentionally not pick up those modes, the Alexa workaround seems like my only route. Appreciate the info though.
Currently it does. Once I get the new API fully working you you will able to set segments independently though ![]()
Is that not possible with the snapshot?
Thatāll be nice, looking forward to it!
And as far as Iām aware, the H7065 doesnāt support snapshots. I looked on the device page and nothing really jumps out.
I am actually making faster progress then i expected. I already have all of the old light commands migrated in my test setup to the new api and the status lookup as well.
Hey Mavrick, just noticed that H17012 string lights have gotten LAN control. I enabled it in the app and then on the device page, saved it, and then tried controlling it via on/off/refresh. I receive the following error in the logs.
[dev:266]2023-12-06 02:09:39.769 PM[error]UDP Response -> index:00, mac:, ip:, port:0, type:LAN_TYPE_UDPCLIENT_ERROR, payload:VW5rbm93bkhvc3RFeGNlcHRpb246IG51xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (redacted)
My H16172 is successfully LAN controlled. ![]()
EDIT: I see there's a new manual approach to adding LAN devices from the integration app, is that something that now needs to be done when enabling a device to utilize LAN capabilities?
The manual Lan add process was added incase you had a device that couldn't be added with the cloud API. The example I had for that and why I created that method was because of the Xmas tree lights.
You should still be able to enable any device that is LAN enabled using the regular driver that it installs with. Do you get any other errors, in the logs and does the device do anything. Is that happening all the time?
Well this method worked, created another device with the same name and is now working with LAN control enabled.
I think the IP address changed, could've sworn I reserved all of them. I went back to the original cloud created device and updated the IP and now that's also working correctly. I'll need to do another review of my reservations.
That would certainly break it.
I have Govee's new Cloud API pretty much figured out. Every device in my house is using it. May need your assistance to figure out the Aroma Diffuser.
They added a fair amount of functionality. There is still room for improvement but allot of additional stuff came with it.
PM me when you want to tackle it. I'll gather and troubleshoot whatever you need.
@mavrrick58 sorry to bug you, any troubleshooting guidance on my issue? Again I was able to see diy scenes prior to clearing them and pushing the most recent app update.
