I recently embarked on a project to integrate my Govee lights with Amazon Alexa, and I must say, the journey was both exciting and enlightening! 
Let me share my experience and some tips that might help others looking to achieve similar automation.First, I wanted to create a seamless evening routine where my Govee lights would automatically dim as the sun set, creating a cozy ambiance. I knew this would require some setup with Alexa routines and the Govee app, but I wasn’t entirely sure how to connect the two. After some research and trial and error, here’s what worked for me:1. Setting Up the Govee Lights: I started by ensuring all my Govee lights were properly connected to my Wi-Fi and paired with the Govee app. This was straightforward, and the app provided clear instructions.2. Connecting to Alexa: The next step was linking my Govee account with Alexa. I discovered that this could be done directly through the Alexa app under the ‘Smart Home’ section. Once connected, my Govee lights appeared as devices in Alexa, making it easier to control them via voice commands.3. Creating the Routine: I set up a routine in Alexa that triggers at sunset. The routine dims the lights to 30% brightness and plays some calming music through my Echo Dot. It’s amazing how this small automation has transformed my evenings into a relaxing experience!4. Tips for Others: - Firmware Updates: Ensure your Govee lights are always updated to the latest firmware for optimal performance. - Location Services: Make sure Alexa has access to your location to accurately detect sunset times. - Experiment with Scenes: Don’t hesitate to create multiple scenes for different occasions—like a vibrant party mode or a soft bedtime routine.This integration has been a game-changer for me, and I’m thrilled with how Alexa and Govee work together to enhance my smart home experience. If anyone has questions or needs help setting this up, feel free to reach out! I’m happy to share more details or troubleshoot any issues.
