I recently purchased the Govee Evangellion wall lights in the 6+2 version, and I must say, they look fantastic! My granddaughter absolutely loves them, and I want to gift them to her. However, I encountered a small issue with the QR code—it seems to be a one-time use code. Does anyone know if there’s a way to obtain a new code so she can use the Eva schemes? Also, does the expansion kit come with a new code? I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this!
On another note, I’ve been exploring smart home automation and stumbled upon some fantastic tips. For instance, setting up a simple button automation using a Flic Bluetooth button to control lights in my bedroom. It works perfectly when both lights are powered, but if one switch is turned off manually, the automation doesn’t trigger. Here’s how I set it up:
markdown
bed:
name: Bedroom
entities:
- light.Bedroom
- light.Computer
And the automation:
markdown
automation:
- alias: switch lights in bedroom
trigger:
platform: event
event_type: flic_click
event_data:
button_name: flic_xxxxxxxxxxx
click_type: single
action:
service_template: >
{% if is_state(‘group.bed’, ‘off’) %}
homeassistant.turn_on
{% else %}
homeassistant.turn_off
{% endif %}
entity_id: group.bed
If anyone has tips on how to make this automation work even when one light is off, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Lastly, I’ve been experimenting with color schemes for my Govee lights. Blues and reds together, or teal and pinks/purples, give that classic 80’s Miami vibe. It’s been a fun way to customize my space!
Happy smart home exploring everyone!
