Compatibility release for Home Assistant 2025.1

Hi, the integration stopped working with 2025.1 release of Home Assistant.

Thanks to the community we have a compatible release:
Thanks JiriBalcar for providing the fix #200, also thanks to all the folks pointing me to the issue #199 and providing input.
I didn't do much testing, but it seems to work well.

Have fun using your Govee lights :)

Cumulated fixes and changes

Nothing special in this release, these are just a bunch of fixes and changes never released before.

Thanks go to

• Neekster (github), for providing better english than mine,
• chriscn (github), for fixing some attributes, and
• LeandroIssa (github), providing an Brazilian Portuguese Translation
• pbavinck (github) put a lot of effort in the underlying python-govee-api project, including MAC compatibility, typos and bug fixes.
• Also special thanks for all supporters on https://www.buymeacoffee.com/
• And thank you all for using this integration, 1700 installations on Home Assistant's analytics is just: wow!

If you have issues, the forum is always very helpful, also here on github issues we see growing support.
Have fun!

Fix compile issues in latest home assistant, faster startup

I removed the aiohttp[speedups] requirement which resulted in a compile error reported in forum. This should also speed up Govee integration showing up in integrations, because no time consuming compile should be necessary anymore.

Have fun :)

We are a default repository!

Hi all!

Two news:

1. we are now included as default repository in HACS, so no fiddling with custom url anymore, just install HACS and search for govee.

2. I made some progress on the library rework, and the testing.
   Please test this version and provide feedback, if anything is working. There are lot of changes. 😄

This progress is a necessary re-work to support ble, which is my next milestone. I separated the library handling state, and the API implementation. Now it is ready to start work on the BLE part. For developers I also managed to get a development container ready including both, the integration and the library. So if you want to get your hands on the code, this is the perfect time to do so. If you run into issues starting your remote container on your Raspberry Pi 4 and/or use BLE just contact me - I want to get this as smooth as possible in future.

Next planned features are:

• BLE discovery, basic usage without API
• ON/OFF using BLE.

Keep your fingers crossed, and help on the coffee-into-code thing 👍

Bugfix release, if there are no devices registered to given API key

This is just a bugfix release.

It avoids some rare error messages and warnings, and hopefully replaces it with proper messages.

Kind regards,
Florian.

Small fixes, no open bugs on Github projects

Hi,

this is just a small bugfix release, which closes all known open bugs.
There are also some changes to the build pipeline, which should make life for other coders easier.

Have fun.

Ability to work around API issues

This release enables you to work around an issue in the Govee API (and possible other issues in the future).

Details see here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/govee-integration/228516/454?u=laggat

0.1.7 may break with that release, just update using HACS and it will work again.

Please Update, incoming breaking change on base library

Hi,

this version is pinning the library versions (specially the govee-api-laggat to 0.1.39) to specific versions.

PLEASE UPDATE in the next days, I am planning a further update which will introduce a breaking change in the mentioned library.
This is necessary for some cleanups and an upcoming feature, making you able to ignore certain updates in state if the API has issues.

Small fixes, requirement for verison in manifest file satisfied.

Hi, this is just a small release with some small fixes and an added version number in the hass requirements for components.
As the previous release was fairly stable, I'll call this a stable version.
