I wanted to share my recent success in integrating my Govee outdoor lights with Shelly switches. After some research and trial, I managed to create a seamless setup that automates my garden lighting based on sunset and motion detection. Here’s how I did it:
-
Setup: I connected my Govee lights via MQTT to my Shelly 2.5 switches. This allowed me to control the lights remotely and set custom scenes.
-
Automation: Using the Shelly app, I programmed the switches to turn on the lights at sunset and adjust their brightness based on motion sensors. This has greatly improved my outdoor security and ambiance.
-
Tips: Ensure your MQTT broker is correctly configured and test each switch individually before setting up automations. Also, take advantage of Govee’s app to set up schedules and color transitions.
I’m thrilled with how this integration has enhanced my smart home setup. The combination of Govee’s versatile lighting and Shelly’s reliable switches has made my garden both functional and beautiful. If you’re considering similar integrations, I highly recommend exploring the possibilities with these devices!
