All notable changes to homebridge-govee will be documented in this file.
This project tries to adhere to Semantic Versioning. In practice, this means that the version number will be incremented based on the following:
MAJOR
version when a minimum supported version ofhomebridge
ornode
is increased to a new major version, or when a breaking change is made to the plugin configMINOR
version when a new device type is added, or when a new feature is added that is backwards-compatiblePATCH
version when backwards-compatible bug fixes are implemented
- simplify BLE connections and updates
- added new light models
- add matter ignore list and config opt
- using an initial (but probably incomplete) list of Matter-enabled models

️Note this release makes breaking changes to scene codes and will require reconfiguring (apologies for changing this again!). This is to:
- make finding scene codes more straightforward and reliable
- allow scene codes to be sent via LAN mode

- bring some consistency to how the plugin handles scenes
See the first section of the updated wiki document for instructions:

- Support for the H5075 Thermo-Hygrometer via wifi connection
- Govee Lights
- Added support for colour temperature control over AWS connection
- Plugin will apply 'ignore timeout' for incoming API updates if incoming update received over AWS
-
Govee Lights
- Plugin now uses a fix list of kelvin to RGB calculations (not a formula) which are the values that Govee uses
- Reduced 'ignore timeout' from 2 minutes to 1 minute as Govee API reaction times seem to have improved
- Experimental AWS Control
- This release includes a new connection method for certain Govee Light models - AWS control - which can improve response times when controlling lights (AWS control is a real-time persistent connection)
- As with the bluetooth connection, this is still experimental and will only be enabled if explicitly enabled in the plugin settings
- You can check whether your model supports this connection method in the Homebridge plugin settings UI on the 'My Devices' tab
- The different connection methods work with each other so it is possible to enable both AWS and bluetooth control for your lights
- Scenes/Music/DIY Modes
- If you Govee Lights support AWS or bluetooth connection, you can use the plugin settings and the Eve app to setup HomeKit scenes for your Govee scenes, music mode and DIY modes that you have created in the Govee app. Check the wiki for more information.

- An issue where brightness would be repeatedly logged if the received value is more than
100
- Support for Bluetooth control for power/brightness/colour for supported devices

online
status for the 'Cloud Status' instead of the reportedcontrollable
status
- Fixes an issue with online/offline status as certain devices seem to report status as a boolean (not as a string)

- Plugin will automatically retry HTTP connection on startup in the event of certain error codes
- In Development
- A configuration option to expose four non-working scenes per light device
- The idea of this is to experiment with how scenes could work if Govee enable this functionality through the API
- The scene buttons that appear have no effect except logging what should happen
- Less strict threshold for determining a 'significant' colour change for disabling Adaptive Lighting
- Show a more user friendly log message on timeout error from Govee

Config entry [plugin_map] is unused and can be removed
notice for HOOBS users
- Configuration setting
controlInterval
to change the 7500ms delay introduced in v2.9.0- This setting is visible in the Homebridge plugin UI screen under 'Optional Settings'
- The default value for this setting will be 500ms but if you experience connectivity issues I would suggest increasing this number (by multiples of 500) until you find a value which works well for you
- Error stack will be hidden when the disabled plugin message appears in the log
- More colour conversation formula changes
- Brightness fix for the H6003
- This release hopes to bring more reliability when using HomeKit scenes and device groupings, by using:
- A queueing system for device updates (HTTP requests) to replace the random delays
- Delays between HTTP requests are set to 7.5 seconds which seems to work reliably
- The refresh interval for device sync will skip whilst device updates are being sent
- Configuration checks to highlight any unnecessary or incorrectly formatted settings you have
- Link to 'Configuration' wiki page in the plugin-ui

- Plugin will log incoming device updates in
debug
mode- For standard usage I would recommend to have plugin
debug
mode set to OFF/FALSE, as this change will add an update to your log every X seconds depending on your refresh interval (which is 15 seconds by default)
- For standard usage I would recommend to have plugin
- Brightness fix for
H7022
