It has 12.4k installs sharing analytics and was last updated June 15, 2026. From the [repository description](https://github.com/wez/govee2mqtt): > Control Govee Devices [Open in My Home Assistant](https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/supervisor_app/?app=b9845f46_govee2mqtt&repository_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fwez%2Fgovee2mqtt) Apps need Home Assistant OS. Container and Core installs cannot run them. ## Supports - **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months. ## Setting it up Add its app repository under Settings, Apps, then install and start it. ## From the README > This addon provides a bridge between Govee lights and Home Assistant, via the Home Assistant MQTT Integration. From the README of [wez/govee2mqtt](https://github.com/wez/govee2mqtt/blob/HEAD/addon/README.md), [MIT License](https://spdx.org/licenses/MIT.html). Shortened. ## Permissions - **Host network**: Uses the host's network directly instead of its own. ## Configuration - **Temperature Scale**: Specify which temperature scale to use when mapping entities into Home Assistant. Can be either "C" for Celsius or "F" for Fahrenheit. - **Govee Account Email**: The email address you registered with your Govee Account. Configuring this will cause govee2mqtt to require working internet connectivity on startup. - **Govee Account Password**: The password you registered with your Govee Account - **Govee API Key**: Functions that use the official Govee APIs require an API Key. If you don't already have one, you can find instructions on obtaining one at https://developer.govee.com/reference/apply-you-govee-api-key Configuring this will cause govee2mqtt to require working internet connectivity on startup. - **MQTT Broker Host Name**: The host name or IP address of the MQTT Broker on your network. If you are using the Mosquitto Addon, you can leave this blank as it will be handled automatically by Home Assistant. - **MQTT Broker Port Number**: The port number of the MQTT Broker on your network. If you are using the Mosquitto Addon, you can leave this blank as it will be handled automatically by Home Assistant. - **MQTT Broker Username**: If your MQTT broker requires authentication, the username that should be used. If you are using the Mosquitto Addon, you can leave this blank as it will be handled automatically by Home Assistant. - **MQTT Broker Password**: If your MQTT broker requires authentication, the password that should be used. If you are using the Mosquitto Addon, you can leave this blank as it will be handled automatically by Home Assistant. - **Debug Filter**: If you need to troubleshoot, set this to a Rust debug level filter. The easiest value to enter for this is "govee=trace". Be aware that in trace mode some sensitive information will be output to the log. Take care to redact any topic or token strings before you paste and share it with others. - **Disable Multicast UDP Broadcast for LAN API Discovery**: If multicast-UDP doesn't work in your network, you can disable the use of the default multicast group 239.255.255.250. If you disable this, you should enable some of the other LAN discovery options. - **Send discovery to each network interface**: If multicast-UDP doesn't work in your network, you may wish to enable this option. It will enumerate the non-loopback network interfaces on your system, and send a discovery packet to the broadcast address of each one. - **Additional IPs and broadcast addresses to scan**: Enter a comma-separated list of IP addresses, broadcast addresses or multicast addresses to which to send discovery packets. You can use this to list out the individual addresses of your Govee devices, assuming that they are configured with static IP addresses and that they are reachable from the home assistant machine. - **Send discovery to global broadcast address**: If multicast-UDP doesn't work in your network, you may wish to enable this option. It will send discovery packets to the global broadcast address 255.255.255.255. To be honest, if multicast-UDP doesn't work, this isn't likely to work any better. ## At a glance - Kind: App - Brand: [Govee](https://vulpo.app/integrations/govee.md) - Number: 12.4k installs sharing analytics - Connection: Connection not stated - Upkeep: Updated in the last 6 months - Needs: Needs Home Assistant OS - Runs on: x86-64, 64-bit ARM - Latest version: 2026.03.25-ab9deb66, last updated June 15, 2026 - Source: ## Other ways in for Govee | Name | Kind | Installs or stars | Connection | Upkeep | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Govee lights local](https://vulpo.app/integrations/core/govee-light-local.md) | Built-in integration | 15.3k installs sharing analytics | Works locally | Part of Home Assistant | | [Govee Bluetooth](https://vulpo.app/integrations/core/govee-ble.md) | Built-in integration | 14.2k installs sharing analytics | Works locally | Part of Home Assistant | | [Govee](https://vulpo.app/integrations/marketplace/laggat-hacs-govee.md) | Marketplace integration | Installs not shown: shared domain govee | Needs the vendor's cloud | Updated in the last 6 months | | [Govee Cloud Integration](https://vulpo.app/integrations/marketplace/lasswellt-govee-homeassistant.md) | Marketplace integration | Installs not shown: shared domain govee | Needs the vendor's cloud | Updated in the last 6 months | | [Govee Life](https://vulpo.app/integrations/marketplace/disforw-goveelife.md) | Marketplace integration | 1.1k installs sharing analytics | Needs the vendor's cloud | Updated in the last 6 months | Independent directory, made by the developer of Vulpo.
