Run standalone without HA?
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Can this run apart from Home Assistant? I'd like to simply publish my Govee's data to mqtt topics.
Yes; just run it standalone. https://github.com/wez/govee2mqtt/blob/main/docs/DOCKER.md
I'm running Docker on unRaid and this is all very new to me.
I assume I can skip #1 (MQTT integration in Home Assistant).
I have copied the skeleton env example and filled in the particulars for my mqtt broker, govee account/api key, timezone etc. It's saved in the /config path as govee2mqtt.env.
Here's my Docker config for this container:
I'm not sure what to do with docker-compose.yml, I don't think I need it as I've entered the parameters in the config UI.
I get the following error in the logs, it looks like it's not loading my env file?

I also tried changing the env_file key to env-file.
I looked into unRaid's Docker env options and found that I needed to go into advanced edit view and add an extra docker parameter
--env-file /mnt/user/appdata/govee2mqtt/govee2mqtt.env
Now it starts and the log shows it pulling device data from Govee. Can I ignore any complaints about Home Assistant in the logs? There are several about
Unknown device type. Cannot map to Home Assistant.
So far I'm not seeing any new topics on my mqtt broker. I only have temperature/humidity and water sensing Govee devices and it from the logs it appears it's seeing them all except all but one wifi temperature sensor have the above HA mapping error.
I now see a gv2mqtt topic with the one wifi temp/hum sensor's data on my broker. Is it possible to get data from my other sensors? I have H5054 & H5105 sensors. These are the ones lists as "Unknown device type. Cannot map to Home Assistant."
