Integrate H60A1201 Ceiling Light and H617C2D1 RGBIC Strip Light into Home Assistant

Hello everyone,

I am struggling to find a way to integrate the Govee H60A1201 Ceiling Light and H617C2D1 RGBIC Strip Light into Home Assistant (Supervisor with MQTT, Smart Things and Tuya). I would like the functions: ON/OFF, single colour (warm/cool white in particular), and brightness. Changing scenes would be a bonus. I found "Govee to MQTT bridge for Home Assistant" on GitHub, thanks to Wez Furlong. Now I have "Govee to MQTT" as a device in the MQTT integrations. However, the only control that appears is "Purge Caches" - and that is unavailable. I read somewhere that certain ports need to be opened, but no idea where to start there. I aslo read about getting an API key from Govee - but I think that is not an option here as the Govee Android app does not have "request API", only "Control over WiFi" which I did enable. I would appreciate it if anyone can tell me where I am going wrong, or point me in the right direction.

Many thanks.
