Govee StrawberryEvery control device in Govee, pulled into one sheet
Govee exposes 2 operations and a companion can work all of them: retrieve a device info and control device. Anything that changes a record waits for your click.
Open the control device. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Govee afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Govee exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, 2 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can retrieve a device info and control device, and work across the control devices and device infos.
The Govee API stops at Govee. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Which Govee control devices does a companion see?
All 2 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can retrieve a device info and control device, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Govee's documentation.
The control devices are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the device infos. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Govee admin becomes a queue you review.
- Retrieve Device Info
- Control Device
Nothing writes back. So what moves the control devices?
Through the screens you already use.
Govee exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Govee in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a control device, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a control device in Govee touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Can the control devices pass run every Monday?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Govee control devices pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the Govee control devices sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
