v3.1 — now over your local network

Your Govee lights,
without the phone.

One press for a saved scene. One rotation for the perfect setting. Five hybrid actions work on both Stream Deck keys and Stream Deck+ dials — so you stop reaching for your phone every time you start a meeting, stream, or movie.

What's inside

One action. Key or dial.
Done.

Five hybrid actions cover everything you'd reach for, plus a new Recall composite that turns any saved look into a single press.

Headline

Recall — one key, any saved look

Pick from every Govee dynamic scene, your DIY moods, and saved snapshots — in a single dropdown. Drop the action on a key, choose "Sunset" or "Movie night" or "Late-night code" — press to apply. Replaces juggling separate Scene and Snapshot keys for the same job.

Five hybrid actions — same UUID on a key or a Stream Deck+ dial

On / Off

Toggle a light or a whole group. The key lights up or dims with the light, and groups show how many members are on — never lies about mixed state.

Brightness

Press for a fixed %. Or drop the same action on a Stream Deck+ dial: rotate to adjust, press to toggle power.

Color

Press for a fixed RGB pick. Or rotate the dial through the full hue wheel with live colour feedback on the LCD.

Color Temperature

Press for a fixed Kelvin. Rotate the dial from warm to crisp daylight across the range your light actually supports.

Segment Color

For RGB IC strips: press for rainbow / solid / gradient presets across a range. Or rotate to tune one segment at a time.

Saturation

Press for a fixed %. Rotate to dial from grey to vivid on the LCD. Same hybrid pattern as the rest.

Plus the tools you reach for

Scene · Snapshot · Music Mode

Apply Govee dynamic scenes, recall saved presets, or trigger audio-reactive lighting with adjustable sensitivity.

Feature Toggle

Nightlight, Gradient, DreamView, Scene Stage — auto-filtered by what each device actually supports.

Schedule · Sequence · Custom Effect

Daily / weekly / delayed automation in your local time. Chain commands with delays. Animated RGB effects on IC strips and on groups.

Local network control

Lights with LAN Control turned on get power, brightness and colour in milliseconds, straight over your network — no cloud round trip, no rate limit. How it works.

Built to tell the truth

Group state that finally matches reality

0/2
All off
Dimmed artwork + count when every member is off.
⚠
2/3 failed
Persists 30s when partial group apply fails — never silent.

Common questions

Before you install

Do I need a Stream Deck+?

No. The five hybrid actions work on any Stream Deck — keys behave as fixed-value presses. A Stream Deck+ unlocks the rotate-to-adjust experience on the dial half. Same action either way.

Where does my Govee API key live?

In Stream Deck's encrypted local settings store on your machine. Never sent anywhere except the Govee Cloud API itself. No analytics endpoint. No telemetry. The full source is on GitHub if you want to verify.

Will my setup break when I update?

No: keys, groups and schedules carry over. Coming from v2.6 or earlier? The four standalone Brightness, Color Hue, Color Temperature and Segment Color Dial actions were removed in v2.7; replace them with the unified actions. Saturation keeps its existing UUID.

What happens when Govee changes the API?

Plugin uses a versioned API client (@felixgeelhaar/govee-api-client) with circuit-breaker, retry, and rate-limit guards. When Govee changes, the client gets patched and the plugin picks it up on the next release. Open issues track API drift.

Does it work with Govee app groups?

Govee Cloud groups (SameModelGroup, BaseGroup) appear in the device dropdown as a disabled hint — Govee's API doesn't accept commands on them. Use the plugin's own group manager to compose multiple lights into a group you can drive together.

Does it use my local network?

Yes, for Govee lights with LAN Control turned on: the plugin finds them automatically, with no setting. On macOS, allow Stream Deck local network access when asked. How to turn it on, or allow it again.

What if a group apply only half-works?

The key shows ⚠ N/M failed for 30 seconds — never a silent green checkmark. State sync also reverts the optimistic update if every member failed.
