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 :-)
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
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
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
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
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%
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
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
