README
A simple PHP package that allows you to control Govee Smart Lights using their API.
Requirements
- PHP >7.2
Installation
You can install the package using the Composer package manager. You can install it by running this command in your project root:
composer require dutchie027/govee
Basic Usage
Instantiate the client
To use any of the Govee API functions, you first need a connection reference. The connection refrence can then be fed to either the Lights library or the Plugs library, or even both if you have both Govee Lights and Plugs.
// Ensure we have the composer libraries require_once ('vendor/autoload.php'); // Instantiate with defaults $govee = new dutchie027\govee\Connect("GOVEE-API-KEY"); // Instantiate without defaults, this allows you to change things // like log location, directory, the tag and possible future settings. $settings = [ 'log_dir' => '/tmp', 'log_name' => 'govee-api', 'log_tag' => 'mylights', 'log_level' => 'error' ]; $govee = new dutchie027\govee\Connect("GOVEE-API-KEY", $settings);
Settings
The default settings are fine, however you might want to override the defaults or use your own.NOTE: All settings are optional and you don't need to provide any.
| Field | Type | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|---|
log_dir |
string | The directory where the log file is stored | sys_get_temp_dir() |
log_name |
string | The name of the log file that is created in log_dir. If you don't put .log at the end, it will append it |
6 random characters + time() + .log |
log_tag |
string | If you share this log file with other applications, this is the tag used in the log file | govee |
log_level |
string | The level of logging the application will do. This must be either debug, info, notice, warning, critical or error. If it is not one of those values it will fail to the default |
warning |
Connect (Core) Functions

Lights Functions
Controlling Lights
To control lights, you first need to make a connection and then reference the connection
// Ensure we have the composer libraries require_once ('vendor/autoload.php'); // Instantiate with defaults $govee = new dutchie027\govee\Connect("GOVEE-API-KEY");
Once you've got a reference to the lights, it will preload all of the MAC Address(es) and name(s) of the devices.
Turning A Light ON
To turn a light on, simply feed it the MAC address or the name of the light.
$govee->lights()->turnOn("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE"); or $govee->lights()->turnOn("Office-Wall");
Turning A Light OFF
Like turning a light on, to turn a light off, simply feed the MAC address or the name of the light.
$govee->lights()->turnOff("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE"); or $govee->lights()->turnOff("Office-Wall");
Adjusting BRIGHTNESS of A Light
To adjust the brigthness, simply give the name or MAC and the brightness, an INT between 0 and 100.
$govee->lights()->setBrightness("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE", 75); or $govee->lights()->setBrightness("Office-Wall", 75);
Changing the COLOR of A Light
To adjust the color, simply give the name or MAC and the brightness and then feed the R, G, B colors you'd like the device to set itself to. NOTE the values for Red, Green and Blue must be between 0 and 255.
$govee->lights()->setColor("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE", 255, 255, 0); or $govee->lights()->setBrightness("Office-Wall", 255, 0, 0);
Changing the TEMPERATURE of A Light
To adjust the temperature, simply give the name or MAC and the name and then feed the temperature. NOTE Temperature must be an INT between 2000 and 9000.
$govee->lights()->setTemp("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE", 5000); or $govee->lights()->setTemp("Office-Wall", 5000);
Get the STATE of A Light
To get all of the details about a light, simply feed getDeviceState the name or the MAC address. You'll get a JSON return you can then either read or feed to json_decode and turn in to an array to use/read.
$govee->lights()->getDeviceState("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE"); or $govee->lights()->getDeviceState("Office-Wall");
{
"data": {
"device": "AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE",
"model": "Office-Wall",
"properties": [
{
"online": true
},
{
"powerState": "on"
},
{
"brightness": 100
},
{
"color": {
"r": 255,
"b": 0,
"g": 255
}
}
]
}
}
Plugs Functions
Turn On A Plug
$govee->plugs()->turnOn("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE"); or $govee->plugs()->turnOn("Office-Wall");
Turn Off A Plug
$govee->plugs()->turnOff("AC:14:A3:D5:E6:C4:3D:AE"); or $govee->plugs()->turnOff("Office-Wall");
