@temporal_spider@masto.ai The reason govee shows up is because it's on your local wifi network so there's a multicast group that's basically being advertised to. That's why it pops up automagically. The other one uses a different way (bluetooth) to communicate. As Jari says, I think there's probably a way to get it connected still but you gotta do a little extra.

@temporal_spider@masto.ai you might need something like this, https://github.com/THDayBetter/daybetter_service But I suggest you search the internet for DayBetter homeassistant and see if you find anything else that works

@temporal_spider@masto.ai Govee products have two major gotchas for local connection with HA. 1. They need an internet connection. If they are cut off from the Internet they behave erratically and have annoyong local connection issues. 2. You have to turn on LAN mode for each product in the Govee app.
