I saw that the h61a0 and h61a2 are supported but will the h61a5 also work? Or does need to be added?

There is a ‘unknown’ device that works with ALL api enabled devices. The only difference is that it does not have a better icon and its own name.  
But it supports all api features automatically for the detected device.  
@Daniel-SWE should also cover your need

Whoa, Govee now has a local API - that would be nice for those of us who prefer local control! [Govee news - there's a local API - Development - Home Assistant Community](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/govee-news-theres-a-local-api/460757)

Than the api probably does not support it. Check the api documentation if its ther. If it os make sure you added the device to your account and have wifi enabled from the govee app.  
I cant discover the devices if the cloud govee api does not list them.

I dont own/get one, so i can not test and debug. On paper ot should since its using the required sdk etc.  
If you get an error you can try to generate an error report, maybe its easy to spot for me.

Hi Kaoh, the app seems not be working on the new homey pro, the devices all give back: unavailable:

Hope you can see what is wrong!

The homey 10rc code is not handling the loading of the required libraries properly. So my statement stands, current sdk works on the homey 8 stable release, cant fix it for 10rc until i have a device that runs on it. I did not order a new homey pro since it doesn’t bring me value right now. So i can not really look into it until Homey 10 gets released to the older homey pros

Ok, clear. Thanks for looking into it. Hopefully you will be able to resolve it after it gets released to previous build homey’s 👍🏻🤞🏻

Just spotted this post by @robertklep:

> Yes they have, apps are now run with `/app` as working directory (whereas on the old HP it’s `/` ).

So thats the problem, I will republish one with this change in mind, then you can test if that solves the problem
