Govee LED Light Strips integration for Samsung SmartThings

UPDATED AS OF 2022-10-04

Govee has began limiteding the number of API calls an account is allotted to have. This happened back in May 2022, however it is being fully implemented now and is affecting users with multiple Govee devices accessing the API. So this release (v2) updates with a parameter setting that allows the user to set their own "polling" time (in seconds).

Pre-requisites

Must have a Samsung SmartThings account setup (https://account.smartthings.com) Govee LED Light Strips Govee API Key (generated from the Govee mobile app)

To integrate this into SmartThings, you'll follow these steps:

To properly integration into Samsung SmartThings, please go to the following URL: https://www.deanberman.com/govee/smartthings/ This page will provide you step-by-step procedures on add the device and device type handlers into your SmartThings account. You provide it your Govee API Key and it will retrieve the list of device ids, names, and models for the device preferences.

If you are more comfortable running the file(s) locally and have a webservice and php enabled locally, then you may download the index.html and the _devices.php file and implement them locally (just update the index.html file for the URL reference location).

The following list of model numbers are currently supported (according to Govee API document):

Lights, Plugs, Switches: H6160, H6163, H6104, H6109, H6110, H6117, H6159, H7022, H6086, H6089, H6182, H6085, H7014, H5081, H6188, H6135, H6137, H6141, H6142, H6195, H7005, H6083, H6002, H6003, H6148, H6052, H6143, H6144, H6050, H6199, H6054, H5001, H6154, H6072, H6121, H611A, H5080, H6062, H614C, H615A, H615B, H7020, H7021, H614D, H611Z, H611B, H611C, H615C, H615D, H7006, H7007, H7008, H7012, H7013, H7050, H6051, H6056, H6061, H6058, H6073, H6076, H619A, H619C, H618A, H618C, H6008, H6071, H6075, H614A, H614B, H614E, H618E, H619E, H605B, H6087, H6172, H619B, H619D, H619Z, H61A0, H7060, H610A, H6059, H7028, H6198, H6049, H7031, H7032, H61A1, H61A2, H61B2, H7061, H6067, H6066, H6009, H7041, H7042, H604A, H6173, H615E, H604B, H6091, H7051, H7062, H618F, H605D, H6046, H601A, H61A3, H610B, H6047, H7065, H61E1, H6057, H604C, H6065, H605C, H705A, H705B, H7055, H61A5, H6078, H604D, H6168, H6601, H70B1, H61A8

set_DEBUG("on")

DTH DISCLAIMER

After further testing, the API call for getting the device state may not work for all supported Govee models listed above. Determing if it's a problem with the Govee API or if it's not supported due to the nature of the device model.

DISCLOSURE

I am not SmartThings developer, I just did this because I wanted to be able to integrate my multiple Govee LED Light strips into my Smart home network, so I created this myself. It works well for me and this isn't for sale, so feel free to use it, tweak it, whatever you want! Just a heads up, this isn't perfect by any means, so feel free to provide me some input and updates, I'll be happy to make them!

SPECIAL THANKS

Those who have downloaded the DTH and are testing with it, thanks so much and please reach out to me with any questions or comments, I'm using this DTH daily so updating it will make me very happy with new features!

And an even more thanks to @jc73uk for your contribution to the app integration! Your support will help further the development and integration of this DTH and other devices which may/may not be supported as of yet with Govee!

Enjoy!
