I’ve been on a journey to integrate my Govee lights into Home Assistant, and I’m thrilled to share my success! 
After some initial hurdles, I managed to get everything working seamlessly. Here’s how I did it:First, I stumbled upon the Grott add-on, which was a lifesaver for my earlier Govee inverters. It worked like a charm, providing real-time data and control. However, when I upgraded to the Shine-WiLan-X2 dongle, things got a bit tricky. The new dongle uses a different communication protocol, and Grott just couldn’t keep up. I was worried I’d have to start from scratch, but then I discovered something amazing—the SolaX Inverter Modbus HACS plugin!This plugin not only supports SolaX inverters but also works perfectly with Govee devices. The setup was surprisingly straightforward:1. Find the Dongle’s IP Address: I used my router’s DHCP settings to locate the Shine-WiLan-X2. Its hostname was the serial number, which made it easy to identify.2. Install the Plugin: Searching for “SolaX Inverter Modbus” in HACS and installing it was a breeze.3. Configure the Integration: I selected “Growatt” as the inverter type, set the interface to “TCP / Ethernet,” and entered the dongle’s IP address. That was it!Now, I enjoy full control over my Govee lights, with data updates every 15 seconds—no cloud dependency needed! I can tweak schedules and operating modes with just a few clicks. It’s like having a personal lighting assistant!If you’re struggling with similar issues, I hope this guide helps you as much as it helped me. Happy integrating!
