Control unsupported Govee lights via Homebridge

homebridge-govee-light

This is a plugin to control Govee lights. ! It's specialized and doesn't use the official Govee API. If you need more support, use this plugin!

But no, for real, I built this because the Govee API doesn't support one of my lights. I'm sharing this here because I didn't find any other solution like this.

Tested devices

  • H6154
  • H6159

These are the only two devices I have. Feel free to test any other lights with this plugin.

Installation

There's no npm package yet, so download the repository and run the following commands on the server where Homebridge is installed.

  1. npm i
  2. npm run build
  3. npm link

After that, restart Homebridge. The plugin should show up.

Config

When you first start the plugin, it'll probably crash. Add the following entries to the "platform" array in your Homebridge config file:

{
    "platform": "GoveeLightPlugin",
    "name": "GoveeLight",
    "email": "[your govee account email address]",
    "password": "[your govee account password]",
    "client": "[random string]"
}
