Troubleshooting Govee Light Integration in Home Assistant
3 months ago by Koen
Hi there,
I'm experiencing difficulties integrating multiple Govee lights into Home Assistant. Here are the details of my attempts and devices:
Devices:
- H600D
- H6099
- H618C
- H6143
- H619E
Integration Attempts:
-
Home Assistant Official Integration
- Bluetooth: No devices found
- Local API: Partial compatibility
-
HACS Integration (github.com/LaggAt/hacs-govee)
- Worked for most devices
- H600D not detected
- Integration became unstable over time
-
Custom Integration with Bluetooth Proxy
- Deployed on Atom Lite (ESPHome Bluetooth proxy)
- Successfully detected other Bluetooth devices (e.g., SwitchBot)
- Failed to detect Govee devices
Bluetooth Scan Results (Smartphone vs. Bluetooth Proxy):
Smartphone Detection:
- Govee_H6099_5B25 (MAC: CD:2A:05:C6:5B:25)
- GBK_H619E_931C (MAC: D4:AD:FC:13:93:1C)
- GVH600D64CA (MAC: 98:3D:AE:0D:64:CA)
- GBK_H618C_EB9B (MAC: D4:AD:FC:C6:EB:9B)
- GVH600D0CF2 (MAC: 98:3D:AE:12:0C:F2)
- GVH600DB7C2 (MAC: B0:81:84:CB:B7:C2)
- GVH600D255E (MAC: 98:3D:AE:0B:25:5E)
Bluetooth Proxy Detection: No Govee devices found
Key Question:
Why can my smartphone detect these Govee devices, but my Bluetooth proxy cannot?
I appreciate any insights or assistance in resolving this integration challenge.
Thank you,
