Python API for Govee H6127 RGB lighting strips

govee-api-ble

A Python API for Govee H6127 RGB lighting strips

This project is still in progress! If you have any issue, post an issue. If you have a fix, make a pull request

This project currently uses os.system and will only work on UNIX systems! I'm working on a fix for this, but in the meantime, this is what """works"""!

Huge thanks to BeauJBurroughs for their amazing research! Without them this would not be possible :-)

Requirements and Setup

For this package you will need

• A UNIX Device (Preferably a Raspberry Pi)
• Python 3.6<=
• BlueZ with gattool To install, simply type

pip install govee-api-ble

Initialization

You will first need the MAC address for your light strip

This can easily be found by doing hcitool scan on a Raspberry Pi or by looking in your settings on the Govee app

To other devices, the strip will most likely be named ihoment-h6127 since that is the manufacturer's old name.

To initialize an object, add to your code:

from govee_api_ble import GoveeDevice

my_device = GoveeDevice(FA:KE:MA:CH:ER:E0)

Replacing the argument with your device's MAC address

Usage

Power On/Off Example

my_device.setPower(status)

Accepts boolean value to turn device on/off

from govee_api_ble import GoveeDevice
# Initialize the device
my_device = GoveeDevice(FA:KE:MA:CH:ER:E0)

my_device.setPower(True) # Turns device on
my_device.setPower(False) # Turns device off

Set Device Color Example

my_device.setColor([r,g,b])

Accepts three RGB values as a list

from govee_api_ble import GoveeDevice
# Initialize the device
my_device = GoveeDevice(FA:KE:MA:CH:ER:E0)

my_device.setColor([0,0,255]) # Sets entire light strip to blue

Set Device Brightness Example

my_device.setBrightness(level)

Accepts int between 0-100 and sets device brightness to number

from govee_api_ble import GoveeDevice
# Initialize the device
my_device = GoveeDevice(FA:KE:MA:CH:ER:E0)

my_device.setBrightness(50) # Sets brightness to 50%

Set Device Scene Example

my_device.setScene(setting)

Accepts string, uses name of any scene setting that can be found in the Govee app

from govee_api_ble import GoveeDevice
# Initalize the device
my_device = GoveeDevice(FA:KE:MA:CH:ER:E0)

my_device.setScene("blinking") # Sets scene to blinking mode

Set Music Mode Example

my_device.setColorMusic(setting,[r,g,b])

Accepts string using name of the music mode, which can be found in the Govee app

Also accepts three RGB values as a list for the spectrum mode

At the moment, rolling mode does not work

from govee_api_ble import GoveeDevice
# Initalize the device
my_device = GoveeDevice(FA:KE:MA:CH:ER:E0)

my_device.setColorMusic("rhythm") # Sets music mode to rhythm
my_device.setColorMusic("spectrum",[0,0,255]) # Sets music mode to spectrum with the color blue
