Govee OpenAPI (No Scripts)

Control Govee devices using manual curl commands only.

Linux System Requirements

Linux shell with bash available. curl installed. Internet access to https://developer-api.govee.com and https://developer.govee.com. Govee account with supported devices linked. Optional: jq for pretty-printing JSON responses. Quick check: bash --version | head -n 1 curl --version | head -n 1 command -v jq >/dev/null && jq --version || echo "jq not installed (optional)"

Required Credential

GOVEE_API_KEY (required)

Autonomous Use Guardrails

Only read GOVEE_API_KEY from your chosen per-user secrets file. Do not read unrelated secret files or system credentials. Restrict outbound requests to: https://developer-api.govee.com https://developer.govee.com Ask before controlling multiple devices or performing bulk changes.

Get a Govee API Key

Open https://developer.govee.com/. Sign in with the same Govee account that owns your devices. Go to the API key section in the developer console. Generate/apply for a key and copy it. Keep it private (treat it like a password). If the portal UI changes, use the same flow: sign in to Govee Developer → find API key management → create key.

Secure Local Storage (Per-User)

Never store API keys in skill files, git, or chat logs. Create a per-user secrets file (avoid /root unless intentionally running as root): mkdir -p "$HOME/.openclaw/secrets" cat > "$HOME/.openclaw/secrets/govee.env" <<'EOF' export GOVEE_API_KEY='<YOUR_API_KEY>' EOF chmod 600 "$HOME/.openclaw/secrets/govee.env" Load only this variable into the current shell (no set -a): source "$HOME/.openclaw/secrets/govee.env"

API Base URL

https://developer-api.govee.com/v1

Discover Devices First

Before controlling lights, list devices and copy your own device + model: curl -sS -X GET "https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices" \ -H "Govee-API-Key: $GOVEE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json"

View Device State

curl -sS -X GET "https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices/state?device=<DEVICE>&model=<MODEL>" \ -H "Govee-API-Key: $GOVEE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Turn on

curl -sS -X PUT "https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices/control" \ -H "Govee-API-Key: $GOVEE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"device":"<DEVICE>","model":"<MODEL>","cmd":{"name":"turn","value":"on"}}'

Turn off

curl -sS -X PUT "https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices/control" \ -H "Govee-API-Key: $GOVEE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"device":"<DEVICE>","model":"<MODEL>","cmd":{"name":"turn","value":"off"}}'

Brightness (1-100)

curl -sS -X PUT "https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices/control" \ -H "Govee-API-Key: $GOVEE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"device":"<DEVICE>","model":"<MODEL>","cmd":{"name":"brightness","value":75}}'

RGB color

curl -sS -X PUT "https://developer-api.govee.com/v1/devices/control" \ -H "Govee-API-Key: $GOVEE_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"device":"<DEVICE>","model":"<MODEL>","cmd":{"name":"color","value":{"r":120,"g":180,"b":255}}}'

Response Check

Success usually returns: {"code":200,"message":"Success"} If code is not 200, treat it as failure.

Troubleshooting

401 / unauthorized: key missing, expired, or invalid. 429 / rate limit: slow retries. command rejected: model does not support that command (supportCmds). empty device list: account has no supported linked devices.

Safety Rules

Use placeholders in docs only (<DEVICE>, <MODEL>, <YOUR_API_KEY>). Do not include real keys or device IDs in published artifacts. Prefer one-device-at-a-time actions over bulk changes. Avoid pasting API keys into chat.

Category context

Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
