Thank you for your feedback
The Govee extension allows you to trigger color changes on your supported Govee lights via a D&R rule response action. It requires you to configure a Govee API key in the extension.
Setup
- Request an API key from Govee by following their instructions here
- Get the Device ID (device) and model (sku) of the device you'd like to target by requesting a list of your supported devices from the Govee API:
curl --location 'https://openapi.api.govee.com/router/api/v1/user/devices' --header 'Govee-API-Key: YOUR_GOVEE_API_KEY'
- Decide what RGB color(s) you want to use. By default, the extension will alert with red (
255,0,0
), and revert back to white (255,255,255
) when the alertduration
has ended. - Add your Govee API key to the extension configuration:
Usage
When enabled, you may configure the response of a D&R rule to trigger a Govee event. Consider the following example response rule:
- action: extension request
extension action: run
extension name: ext-govee
extension request:
device_id: '{{ "YOUR_GOVEE_DEVICE" }}'
device_model: '{{ "YOUR_GOVEE_DEVICE_SKU" }}'
alert_color: '{{ "255,0,0" }}'
alert_brightness: '{{ "100" }}'
revert_color: '{{ "255,255,255" }}'
revert_brightness: '{{ "10" }}'
duration: '{{ "30" }}'
suppression:
is_global: true
keys:
- Govee
max_count: 1
period: 1m
Note that the only required fields here are the device_id
and device_model
. Values supplied in the example are the defaults.
