--- name: govee-control description: Control Govee smart lights locally via LAN API - turn on\/off, adjust brightness, set RGB colors, change color temperature. Use when the user wants to control Govee device settings or change light properties. --- # Govee LAN Control Direct local control of Govee smart lights using the LAN API. No API key required - works over local network. ## Prerequisites - Device IP address (use govee-discovery skill to find it) - LAN Control enabled in Govee Home App ## Available Commands ### Power Control ```bash # Turn on uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py on # Turn off uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py off ``` ### Brightness Set brightness level (1-100): ```bash uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py brightness ``` Example: ```bash uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py brightness 192.168.1.58 75 ``` ### RGB Color Set color using RGB values (0-255 each): ```bash uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py color ``` Examples: ```bash # Purple uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py color 192.168.1.58 128 0 255 # Red uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py color 192.168.1.58 255 0 0 # Cyan uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py color 192.168.1.58 0 255 255 ``` ### Color Temperature Set white color temperature in Kelvin (2000-9000): ```bash uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py temperature ``` Examples: ```bash # Warm white uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py temperature 192.168.1.58 2700 # Cool white uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py temperature 192.168.1.58 6500 ``` ### Device Status Query current device state: ```bash uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py status ``` Returns: ```json { "msg": { "cmd": "devStatus", "data": { "onOff": 1, "brightness": 100, "color": {"r": 255, "g": 0, "b": 0}, "colorTemInKelvin": 0 } } } ``` ### Discovery Discover all devices on network: ```bash uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py discover ``` ## Protocol Details The LAN API uses UDP on ports: - **4001**: Discovery (multicast) - **4002**: Listen for responses - **4003**: Control commands Commands are sent as JSON over UDP with no encryption. Response time is typically 10-50ms. ## Common Workflows ### Find and control a device ```bash # 1. Discover devices uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py discover # 2. Turn on device at found IP uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py on 192.168.1.58 # 3. Set color uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py color 192.168.1.58 255 0 128 ``` ### Check status before changing ```bash # Query current state uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py status 192.168.1.58 # Make changes based on current state uv run govee-control\/scripts\/govee_lan.py brightness 192.168.1.58 50 ``` ## Limitations - No scene\/preset control (use Cloud API for scenes) - No segment control for multi-segment devices - Commands do not return confirmation (except status query) - Network latency affects response time ## Supported Devices Works with any Govee device that supports LAN Control, including: - H606A (Glide Wall Panels) - H6066 (Hexagon Light Panels) - LED strip lights with WiFi - Smart bulbs with WiFi
