node-red-contrib-govee 1.0.0

Node-RED nodes for Govee smart light control over LAN

npm install node-red-contrib-govee

node-red-contrib-govee

Node-RED nodes for controlling Govee smart lights over the local network (LAN). No cloud API or account required — communication happens directly via UDP multicast.

Installation

npm install node-red-contrib-govee

Or install via the Node-RED Palette Manager: search for node-red-contrib-govee.

Node: Govee Light

A single node that both sends commands to and receives status updates from a Govee light on your local network.

Setup

1. Drag the Govee Light node into your flow
2. Double-click it and press the 🔍 scan button to discover devices on your LAN
3. Select your device from the dropdown
4. Deploy

Sending Commands (Input)

Send a msg.payload to control the light:

Multiple properties can be combined in a single payload:

{ "power": true, "brightness": 80, "kelvin": 4000 }

Note: kelvin and rgb/hsl are mutually exclusive — if kelvin is set, rgb and hsl are ignored.

Receiving Status (Output)

The node emits a msg.payload whenever the device status changes:

{
  "power": true,
  "brightness": 80,
  "color": [255, 0, 128],
  "kelvin": 0
}

Requirements

• Node.js ≥ 18.0.0
• Node-RED ≥ 4.0.0
• Govee light must be on the same LAN (UDP multicast)
