Laravel Govee Connector 💡
=========================

[](#laravel-govee-connector-)

A Laravel package for interacting with the Govee Smart Home API, allowing easy control and management of Govee smart devices. At the moment only lights are supported.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via Composer:

```
composer require chipneedham/laravel-govee
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="config"
```

This will create a `config/govee.php` file. Add your Govee API key to your `.env` file:

```
GOVEE_API_KEY=your_govee_api_key_here
```

### Getting an API key

[](#getting-an-api-key)

[See Govee's Docs](https://developer.govee.com/reference/apply-you-govee-api-key)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Retrieving Devices

[](#retrieving-devices)

```
use Govee;

// Get all Govee devices
$devices = Govee::getDevices();

foreach ($devices as $device) {
    echo $device->name; // Device name
    echo $device->deviceId; // Device ID
}
```

### Device Control

[](#device-control)

```
// Turn a device on/off
$device->setPowerState(true); // Turn on
$device->setPowerState(false); // Turn off

// Set brightness (1-100)
$device->setBrightness(50);

// Set color using RGB
$device->setColor(255, 0, 0); // Red

// Set color using Hex
$device->setHexColor('#00FF00'); // Green

// Set white color temperature (2000-9000K)
$device->setWhiteTemperature(4000);
```

### Directly Accessing a Device

[](#directly-accessing-a-device)

```
// If you know the device ID and model
$specificDevice = Govee::getDevice('your-device-id', 'your-device-model');
```

### Rate Limits

[](#rate-limits)

Govee's rate limits are annoyingly low. Sorry.

EndpointLimitDeviceList10 per minuteDeviceControl10 per minute per deviceDeviceState10 per minute per deviceTotal Requests10000 per dayError Handling
--------------

[](#error-handling)

Error handling has a lot of work to be done, at the moment be sure to use trys. The package throws exceptions for invalid inputs or API errors:

```
try {
    $device->setBrightness(150); // Will throw an exception
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    // Handle error
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
```

Facade
------

[](#facade)

The package includes a `Govee` facade for easy access to the Govee API client.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.1+
- Laravel 10.x+
- Govee API Key

Security
--------

[](#security)

Please ensure your Govee API key is kept secure and not committed to version control.
