H600D bulbs not appearing

Describe the bug

Currently, the H600D bulbs, and a few others, do not show up when using this integration. This appears to be because they use a slightly different version of the API to get device info and control them. In order to get the devices, this is the command.

curl --request GET \
     --url https://openapi.api.govee.com/router/api/v1/user/devices \
     --header 'Govee-API-Key: e9213276-4488-43c9-bb14-8b5422474553' \
     --header 'accept: application/json'

Changing the URL from https://developer-api.govee.com/v1 to https://openapi.api.govee.com/router/api/v1/user/devices allows the bulbs to show up. It appears to be a slightly different API version.

I have verified that using my API key, the H600D bulbs show up in the response, proving that they support the API. However, the response appears to be in a different format to the current API. Here is just the response for one of my H600D bulbs.

{"sku":"H600D","device":"MAC_ADDRESS","deviceName":"Bulb 4","type":"devices.types.light","capabilities":[{"type":"devices.capabilities.on_off","instance":"powerSwitch","parameters":{"dataType":"ENUM","options":[{"name":"on","value":1},{"name":"off","value":0}]}},{"type":"devices.capabilities.range","instance":"brightness","parameters":{"unit":"unit.percent","dataType":"INTEGER","range":{"min":1,"max":100,"precision":1}}},{"type":"devices.capabilities.color_setting","instance":"colorRgb","parameters":{"dataType":"INTEGER","range":{"min":0,"max":16777215,"precision":1}}},{"type":"devices.capabilities.color_setting","instance":"colorTemperatureK","parameters":{"dataType":"INTEGER","range":{"min":2700,"max":6500,"precision":1}}},{"type":"devices.capabilities.music_setting","instance":"musicMode","parameters":{"dataType":"STRUCT","fields":[{"fieldName":"musicMode","dataType":"ENUM","options":[{"name":"Energic","value":5},{"name":"Rhythm","value":3},{"name":"Spectrum","value":6},{"name":"Rolling","value":4}],"required":true},{"unit":"unit.percent","fieldName":"sensitivity","dataType":"INTEGER","range":{"min":0,"max":100,"precision":1},"required":true},{"fieldName":"autoColor","dataType":"ENUM","options":[{"name":"on","value":1},{"name":"off","value":0}],"required":false},{"fieldName":"rgb","dataType":"INTEGER","range":{"min":0,"max":16777215,"precision":1},"required":false}]}},{"type":"devices.capabilities.dynamic_scene","instance":"lightScene","parameters":{"dataType":"ENUM","options":[]}},{"type":"devices.capabilities.dynamic_scene","instance":"diyScene","parameters":{"dataType":"ENUM","options":[]}}]}]}

It seems Govee have changed their API for some newer devices. I don't fully understand why, or how it works, but hopefully the integration can be updated to support these bulbs.

If I can help test anything with this new API/Bulbs, I would be happy to too!

i have this exact problem, what can i do then to fix this problem?

[aaronj3245]

i tried what this commenter did, and he's right, my led bulbs are working this way, however i tried to change it by going into the file and finding where you can change some stuff, and i couldn't find a way to change it, so id suggest trying to find an alternative until they fix this issue. also the new API works with other govee devices that still works with the old one

[The-Techy]

I was also unable to find how to change it unfortunately, but I have found some more documentation on this new API, which appears to be much more powerful. @LaggAt I know you seem to have stopped work on this integration, but any chance you might be able to take a look at this?

[The-Techy]

Found another solution, this integration https://github.com/wez/govee2mqtt has full support for the bulbs

But does These bulbs support Local lan? i can't find the button that allows local lan on these bulbs. does it work for you

[aaronj3245]

IT WORKS, I thought this was for local API. thanks. however it's kinda slow and i can't set the actual white colour

[The-Techy]

Yeah, unfortunately the bulbs don’t support the LAN API, so it will be a bit slower. However, they do support the white control. Can you see this symbol on the bulb control page? From there you can change the whites
