I won’t send the logs because I have the same heater and error For those that still want to use the heater through homey, you can add it via Alexa app under „other“ only on and off so I’m looking forward what you can accomplish ---

Please do, the other logs contained errors related to api throttling. Any clean logs can help me debug this feature ---

This app does not work for me. Asked for the API and received it through email but no instructions on what to do with it. When I try and install the app I get the message: New Devices Found Select the devices you’d like to add. [object Response] I get the same error message trying to install it with both the Appliance API and Cloud API When I try the local API I only see a “No devices found” error. ---

You need to set the api key in the app settings. One you did this try adding the cloud api devices again. Local api devices will only be available when you enable local api on your govee lights in the govee mobile app. Appliances are always cloud api, so they need the api key to be set in the app settings also ---

I noticed the icon for my globes was looking a bit dirty - I deleted one of the four globes and did a re-add but it is still dirty now with an Alexa logo … ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/c/ec68cb0b7f734277b9c4b39d479a20fc7a65b18c.png) For the H6008 product ---

Also when I get a throttle error rather then showing the message it’s attempting to stringify the object. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/6/c6a6a406ec2ab8670da9557ff972e0cb8aaa756d.jpeg) ---

That’s the problem. I can’t find where to input the API in the homey app. The only option I see is to ask for another API. Can you tell me where I can find the screen to input the API? ---

Found where to put the API key. Have to do it in the web app, not available in the mobile app. No wonder I couldn’t find it. Lol. Thanks your your help! ---

I auto generated all the icons based on the images from the Govee mobile app. So yeah a bit dirty. But saves me a ton of hours. ---

Yeah its on my todo to show better messages when it’s being throttled. But there are a lot of other things above this item on my list 🙄 ---

See jamies respons, it is on the mobile app also, but Homey put everything a bit deep into the navigation, its not always easy to find 😉 Another point for my long todo list, allow during the cloud device add to set/update the api key 😉 ---

I know the throttle message is low priority, and I why. But purely from a new user perspective and confusion (because their threshold is so low) it might be worth while? More importantly on the advice in this channel I sent an email asking to be whitelisted from the throttling …. And they did so with in 24 hours and I I’ve not seen any rate limit messages since!! Big shout out to @Alexander_Adam1 for the advice. ---

Hi since i don’t have any appliances these are still in beta. Can you please restart the govee app and trigger the error, then use the app settings and send a diagnostic report. I need someone to help me test these appliances. 👍🏻 Together we can figure out out ---

I don’t need to add device support, it supports all device exposed through the api. Did you try adding it? [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-govee-making-your-life-smarter/50660.md?page=15) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/app-govee-making-your-life-smarter/50660.md?page=17)
