| Govee lights | Works | Works in Home Scenes exposed as buttons, Siri works | Passed through HA to HomeKit; scenes exposed as buttonsSaved copySome of these aren’t automations persay just conveniences My govee lights into home assistant then back to HomeKit so I can expose scenes as buttons and use Siri on (wife doesn’t like having multiple apps HAOS included to do things), also have them turn on and off with other lights in the room at the same time HAOS automation. Expose other devices in HomeKit for status stuff like the litter robots and cat feeder feed levels so we don’t have to check 4 other places. I also made the waste baskets as “locks” so when they are full they send push notifications that pop up on even the appleTVs so … Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-05 |
| Govee bulbs (older models) | Partly works Cloud | Older models lack local control; delayed cloud APISaved copyWith anything locally controlled no, anything that requires a cloud api may have some delay. Other than two Govee bulbs that aren’t new enough to have local control everything has been running rock solid for just under a month. Even with my constant tinkering and integration installs. Siri seems to work as well as she used to, maybe slower? Haven’t really noticed too much of a difference. I did setup my own local assistant but it’s a lot slower than Siri, 5-6 seconds for a response. But it’s almost worth the wait to be able to daisy chain commands together. Do this in room one, that in room 2 … Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-09 | |
| Govee H60A4 | Partly works Local | On/off works but no colour controlSaved copyHi, I can't control my Govee H60A4 because it's not currently compatible with the local Govee lights integration. It is compatible with the Govee H60A1, although I think the only difference is the form factor (the A1 is round while the A4 is square).

| Govee lights | Partly works Cloud | Cloud only with latency and flicker complaints; newer models have LAN controlSaved copyHue for sure, the integration is local over zigbee Govee is cloud only and has lots of latency. Its also the slowest to reconnect to wifi, often needing me to open the app before the wifi reconnects after an internet drop or similar.

| Govee H6199 | Requested Local | Not detected; LAN option missing in app, so likely unsupportedSaved copySorry about that, was checking several and missed the copy/paste, the issue is with H6199. I know it’s compatible with the local API (although it doesn’t show the local access option on the Govee app) and it’s even mentioned on the Govee documentation when you get the details for the API key.
