Govee LED strip

Openhab 4.1.1-1 running on Rocky 8.9.

Got a Govee Light strip, H61A1, off the clearance shelf last week. I’ve added the binding and got the thing working, HSB controls are working nicely.

But there doesn’t seem to be power toggle for this device.

This is the code defining the thing and channels. No power on/off unless I added it wrong or something along those lines. Anyone know how to get simple on/off toggle for this?

UID: govee:govee-light:Govee_LED
label: Govee Light
thingTypeUID: govee:govee-light
configuration:
  refreshInterval: 15
  hostname: 10.10.x.x
  macAddress: D4:AD:FC:xx:xx:xx
channels:
  - id: color
    channelTypeUID: system:color
    label: Color
    description: Controls the color of the light
    configuration: {}
  - id: color-temperature
    channelTypeUID: system:color-temperature
    label: Color Temperature
    description: Controls the color temperature of the light from 0 (cold) to 100 (warm)
    configuration: {}
  - id: color-temperature-abs
    channelTypeUID: govee:color-temperature-abs
    label: Absolute Color Temperature
    description: Controls the color temperature of the light in Kelvin
    configuration: {}

You should be able to link a Switch item to the color channel and use that for power on/off.

:star_struck: Jacob, you were one minute faster :wink:

@BiloxiGeek See Govee Lan-API - Bindings | openHAB for what Jacob just mentioned.

or even better the example here: Govee Lan-API - Bindings | openHAB

That works nicely, thanks. Having a bit of an issue with the HSB sliders now but at least the on/off toggle is working.

DISREGARD this post. It was strictly a config problem in my setup. I had setup the widget in a way to cause the problem.

The HSB sliders aren’t working right. In the image the puck is in the dark blue range of the slider but it’s more like cyan and the light itself is about cyan but the saturation seems low compared to what that slider is indicating. It’s like it’s lost track of what’s going on and just guessing against the changes I make on the sliders.

I kinda remember another device that had a setting that was being read/written inversely to what it needed. This seems like a similar problem but I don’t recall what the device was or where to set it so it was manipulated properly.

I have the light strip setup and these two widgets:

The light is dark blue on this setting. What is weird though, that your slider knob is actually a different color than the color of the bar underneath. I checked it on my notebook and even resized the page to become much smaller - it works. And it also is fine on my Android app.

Ups… why did you delete the posting?

Just deleted the post, I had set up the page with those widgets wrongly. Wiped that config and started again it’s all working as expected now. PEBKAC issue.

Good to know that there isn’t in issue in the add-on.

Sometimes it just might be better to wait to provide an answer :grinning:
