Hey everyone! I just wanted to share a success story about integrating my new Govee smart plugs with Home Assistant and Google Assistant. It’s been a game-changer for controlling my reptile lights! 
I’ve always struggled with getting third-party devices to work seamlessly with HA, but Govee has been a breath of fresh air. Their plugs are super easy to set up and integrate perfectly with my existing setup. Plus, the fact that they’re affordable makes it even better! 
One thing I wanted to mention is how I managed to filter certain devices from showing up in Google Home. I saw a tip somewhere about using specific settings in HA to exclude devices from being discovered by Google Assistant. It took a bit of tweaking, but now my reptile lights are only controllable through HA, which is exactly what I wanted! 
If anyone else is looking to add some cool reptile lighting to their setup, I highly recommend checking out Govee’s smart plugs. They’ve been a great addition to my smart home ecosystem! 
Any other Govee users out there? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have! Let’s keep the conversation going!
