I've made a Mistake

🎬 Get Started

Hello all, just reserved my new Hubitat box and within 10 minutes, I knew I'd made a mistake. It doesn't pick up any of my smart devices as I am mostly Govee based. I blame Paul Hibbit from YouTube and my non research impulse buying. Can anyone tell me if this device is compatable with Govee, Hey, SmartLife and LIFX. Please any help would be welcome.

There's a reason Paul and so many other home automation buffs promote Hubitat, and I sincerely believe you will be pleased with your purchase long-term. You have the backing of a solid company and scores of deeply devoted fellow users here to lend a hand where needed.

Think you'll also be pleasantly shocked at just how many devices interoperate with your hub! Some just take a bit more effort than others.

LIFX should have a local integration I think.

Feel free to ask any questions you want about Govee. As long as the device isn't Bluetooth only there is a good chance it works with the Govee Integration that @Evilborg linked. If you have any issues with the devices feel free to DM me or ask in that thread for help and we will see what we need to do to get you going.

Thanks so much, looks like I'm in for a new education in this hobby if my eyes don't give up with all this reading.
But Thank You.

I don't know what "reserved" means, but if you purchased your hub from Hubitat or Amazon, you can return it within 30 days.

Govee and SmartLife can be integrated using community integrations (these are integrations written by Hubitat users). LIFX is a built-in integration (these are integrations written by Hubitat engineers).

I don't know what Hey is; but if it is Matter-compatible, it can be integrated with Hubitat.

I’m also having trouble following what this means.

You have ordered a Hubitat hub?

Have you received it? Tried to set it up?

Has the hub successfully connected to your LAN via Ethernet or WiFi?

Your mistake was, you thought you were wrong but you weren't. :wink:

I took the reserved as an autocorrect mishap and they meant received.

My LIFX devices work perfectly. Remember to give them a fixed IP address for local control. They need that for some reason. The LIFX app still works as well.

You're in the club!

Thanks for that, I have a lot of learning to do with this new Hubitat device. More than I thought, but I'm up for the adventure, slow as I my be given my attention problems. It's a lot, so for this the first thing to do is working out how to find devices IP Addresses. But Thank you.

Your router web UI should have a device list. You should go in there and set them all as fixed IPs anyway, so they do not change later. Really only matters if its a local integration, for a cloud integration the IP wont matter.

Thanks again, I will have a try at it tomorrow, it nice to see that there are so many helpful members here. I will need a lot of help, so here's a beginning. Cheers.

So where did this speculation come from?

No speculation. It was plainly stated in the video that he got a free unit.

But that’s certainly not the only way to get paid saying something on the internet.
