Troubleshooting Govee Light Integration in Home Assistant

4 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:

  1. Home Assistant Official Integration

    • Bluetooth: No devices found
    • Local API: Partial compatibility

  2. HACS Integration (github.com/LaggAt/hacs-govee)

    • Worked for most devices
    • H600D not detected
    • Integration became unstable over time

  3. 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,
