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.

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");
