I also don’t know, but matter is 100% Govee and Homey. I can not help with those devices
Hi, I’m new to the Homey ecosystem and after trying everything, I still can’t add my Govee H6076 lamp using the Local API mode. I’m not sure if I’m following the correct steps.
Both my Homey Pro and the lamp are on the same Wi-Fi network.
In the Govee app, I enable LAN Control.
In Homey, I select “Add new device”, choose the Govee app, then “Local API devices”, and press Connect — but after waiting a few seconds I always get the same result: it doesn’t find anything.
I have reset both devices multiple times, reconfigured the Wi-Fi on the Govee lamp, and I always get the same result: nothing is found.
To check if the issue was with my network or the lamp, I installed a Home Assistant instance in my Proxmox. I added the Govee integration, selected “Add Local API device”, and it found the lamp on the first attempt.
What am I doing wrong in Homey?
I use the official documented broadcast system for discovery, so they should answer. But if I don’t get responses it’s hard to debug why not.
There is one problem that is more common is that hat I need a very specific port to receive messages on. Other local api systems sometimes use the same port, that can mean the port is in use on your Homey and that’s why I don’t receive those messages. I know the Yamaha app uses the same port but others might also.
You can try by disabling all other Homey apps during add. Also sometimes the devices take a couple of minutes to announce themselves. So after starting the govee Homey app, let it sit for 5 minutes and then try to add them. I remember all discovered devices in that period

“I have uninstalled all the apps and only kept the Govee one. I have restarted the Homey Pro and the lamp, but it still doesn’t detect the lamp when I try to add it using the local API option.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks!”
Not sure, like I said if I don’t receive the broadcasts it’s hard to identify them. Some wifi ap’s don’t route broadcasts between ap’s or towards the utp, vlans block them etc etc.
I do see a new incline in lacal api complains while this has been silent for years. So it looks like govee might have changed something. I’ll go an check if they documented that this time.
Hi, did any of you guys manage to successfully add H60B2 via Local API? (Or even matter)
Tried it a couple of times, reset the device a couple times and even restarted homey 2023 pro with no luck.
I’d appreciate any tips.
Thanks
Oke. Now everything is not responding. Al my gove lights say fetch failed and all my innr sockets just do not respond. What can i do?
Sounds like you have a bigger Homey issue going on, the innr devices are not part of this app.
I would contact Homey support.
