Device	Status	What they said	Source
Govee H5127 presence sensor	Works	Supported in the pre-release Saved copy Describe The Bug: H5123 Presence Sensor is listed as being supported, but it's logged as Unknown model. Occurs with 2.9.0 and 2.9.1, did not test other versions. To Reproduce: Have a H5127 on your Govee Home account, authenticate, restart Homebridge as prompted. Expected behavior: Ideally, supported, but if not supported, the documentation revised. Logs: [code] Plugin Config: [code] Environment: Plugin Version: 2.90, 2.91.

Govee humidifier	Works	Humidity reading fixed after report showed 0% Saved copy I will add it to my todo list. All of these values and commands have to be reverse engineered from HEX codes - Govee's developer API/SDK exposes very little about the devices: on, off, color, brightness, color temperature. (https://govee-public.s3.amazonaws.com/developer-docs/GoveeDeveloperAPIReference.pdf - you will see, the control and data they provide open source developers is majorly lacking) I spent over 2 months borrowing friends' govee devices and decoding the commands and responses - e.g. is schedule active, how long was the schedule and how much time remains, humidifer custom mode … Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.

Govee H6057	Requested	Support requested; not yet added Saved copy I would like to ask you to consider implementation of support for below devices: H605B H6076 H6057 Especially handling modes (video) of H605B. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #202 · 2023-09
Govee H605B	Requested	Maintainer owns one; not yet added, video modes wanted Saved copy I would like to ask you to consider implementation of support for below devices: H605B H6076 H6057 Especially handling modes (video) of H605B. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #202 · 2023-09
Govee H6062	Requested	Maintainer owns one but it is not hooked up; reverse engineering ongoing Saved copy I happen to have the H6062 but not hooked up - Reverse engineering the operational HEX codes has been an ongoing project of mine. The AWS/Rest integrations will be primary focus on this issue. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #108 · 2022-07
Govee H6076	Requested	Support requested; not yet added Saved copy I would like to ask you to consider implementation of support for below devices: H605B H6076 H6057 Especially handling modes (video) of H605B. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #202 · 2023-09
Govee H6144 LED strip	Requested	Support asked; maintainer needs the device to learn the command set Saved copy Hi. I would like to request that you consider adding support for the GOVEE H6144 LED strips. Thank you. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.	Issue #167 · 2023-01
Govee H5123/H5121 BLE motion sensor	Won’t be supported	Support removed; state unreliable behind Govee Distributed Gateway Saved copy You're right - I had to remove the support for the motion sensor as there is no way to reliably get the state of devices behind Govee's Distributed Gateway mechanism. EDIT This is in response to the H5123/H5121 BLE motion sensors I decided to rework the entire plugin, which has a pre-release if you wish to try it, it doesn't add support for these devices but it does provide more reliable BLE integration and support for more devices and even finer grain control. https://github.com/constructorfleet/homebridge-ultimate-govee/releases/tag/v3.0.0-rc0 Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22.
