Hi, Happy new Year to you all!

Some people with multiple lights ran into issues with the default of 10 seconds between poll intervals.

Background info:
Govee allows one request every second. Turning a single light on takes one, setting brightness takes another. Pulling state for a device takes a third request. When we hit this limit over a 100 second period, we are blocked for the rest of this time frame.

So now if you have e.g. 8 devices polling every 10 seconds, 80% of the allowed requests are gone. The underlying library here starts to throttle your request to not get banned.
Assume you want to turn on all your lights, turn them to pink and full brightness now: You just did 24 requests, with some settings on even 32.

Only option until now was re-installing the integration. Now you can change the interval and restart home assistant.
This release is a beta because I had some issues with the dev environment and testing. It should all work, but I didn't test as good as usual.

regards, Florian.

Automate pink and max brightness at once!

Hi,

it has been long since the last release, seems most is running fine 👍
Today I have a simple and nice feature, you can set multiple params when automating a light.turn_on command:

entity_id: light.hallway_xxxxx
rgb_color: [255,0,255]
brightness: 255

The API makes it necessary to send them sequencially, and wait between the commands.
So light will turn pink, and after a second will shine as bright as possible.

Well, your choice which colors, color temps, and/or brightness you like.
I'll go and feed my unicorn.
Bye.

We have an options menu - and it's useful :)

Hope you like the new options menu on the integrations page - for now with two settings:

  • You can turn off the two buttons state after sending some command - switching this first checkbox tells home assistant that every status is final & from API
  • If your device is powered by a TV USB port you may want to switch the second checkbox, which tells home assistant the device is OFF when there is no connection.

Hi, I just re-added the labels in config flow and the translations.
Also the documentation has some more information based on current user voices.

No functional update in that release.
