Sounds good! My goal was to achieve two things with my lighting:
Random Nighttime Lighting: I wanted the lights throughout the house to turn on and off randomly during the night to create a more lived-in feel, while it's empty.
Staircase Light: I also wanted a separate routine for the staircase light strip to turn on automatically at sunset and stay on until sunrise, as I don't have motion sensors setup in that house to trigger them.
excuse my ignorance, but where would I find my device's IP address? I can go into my router settings and it shows a list of devices, but I'm guessing it's one of the "unknown" listed devices.
Thanks
I just installed this app and must have something wrong. Using the lightstrip M1 and my log file show...
Did you install V1 or V2?
Some devices seem to occasionally respond with UDP messages for their LAN API calls. They don't really show anything. The error message is just because of how the code handles it.
If you are running v1 please upgrade to V2
I am running V2. Used HPM to install, Selected all the drivers except the appliance type ones. The driver the device is using is the Govee V2 color Lights Dreamview Sync. I've enabled LAN control on the device and in the Govee app. This just made me think. I turned off LAN control on the device in hubitat and it now will turn on/off from the device options. I can work with that but it appears there might be a problem with local control.
I Don't think I have the IP address entered and I don't see where I would add that.
Thanks I found it and everything seems to work. Thanks for a great app.
By the way I tried to use your link that would give you a credit and it didn't work. The code was not accepted.
When you enable LAN Control on the driver and click save additional preference options appear to finish setting up LAN API control. One of those is the IP Address.
When you turn on that flag the flow for each command is modified so until the device is fully configured it is kind of in a limbo state and uncontrollable. Though as you found once the API is entered it start working. Keep in mind enable Local control is only for commands that support it. Some commands may still lean on the cloud if needed.
I will check my govee link and see if it is still active. I think they expire after a period of time. I am also have a donation link in the about section of the App.
This is a public service announcement.
The Govee Heaters have been recalled. I've had a 7135 since last December that worked great with this integration. But I got a recall notice via Amazon and just applied for a refund from the Govee site. Apparently their heaters have caused a reported 113 fires.

Content moved to the new v2 topic...
Thanks, but just to confirm, you are saying that in the event the front and backyard strips are connected fear some sort of extensions, right?
If I can't or don't connect them, I'll need something to control the separate 50 ft strip in the backyard.
That is the assumption I am making… I have only 100ft, and there was an extension included in the kit that I got.
I also know that some LED lights need a power infusion when they get to be too long - not sure how this would work for these, or if even needed…
My run, if I linked the front and back lights, would be about 200' - 150 of lights in front and 50' in back, and about 50' of 18/3 wire extension. So hopefully that would work since there's not loss of power along the extension other than normal resistance (no lights on the up to 50' 18/3 wire extension).
I'd like to be able to control them separate, though...
U can use my garden hue app pick both lights and they can do the same effects or colors at the same time/or separate if so choose. and you dont have to wire them together. U can also just get the non pro in the 50 and 100 ft and it may be cheaper
Updated my post above...realized w/my open eaves that these style lights just aren't going to work for me. 
And edited my post again...wife (lord and master of all things design) seems to like the lights more than I thought and now isn't so freaked out about having to add the 2x1s under the eaves to mount the lights. So game is (sort-of) back on again. Still need help w/my quesitons above...
There is a thread for current Govee integration which is version 2. This thread is about Ver 1 which was deprecated. I don't think this affects any of your questions but FYI.
Thanks! Don't quite know how I missed that... 
You're right that v1/v2 of the integration doesn't affect my questions as they are about the physical install. I guess I'll move my question over there so I don't keep bumping this old topic to the top over and over again helping to confuse others.
