Govee Light Management

Control your Govee smart lights straight from Stream Deck: no phone, no app switching.

Govee Light Management gives you 14 actions for keys and Stream Deck+ dials. Toggle power, set brightness, pick colours, recall saved looks, play scenes and effects, paint segments on RGB IC strips, and automate your lights on a schedule. Keys show the live state of your lights, so what you see matches what's in the room.

NEW IN 3.1: LOCAL NETWORK CONTROL

Lights with LAN Control turned on in the Govee app get power, brightness, colour and colour temperature directly over your home network. There's no cloud round trip and no rate limit. Keys and dials react instantly and keep working when the internet is down. The plugin finds these lights automatically. Each command is checked, and if a light didn't react, it's sent again through the Govee cloud. Scenes, segments, music modes and snapshots use the cloud.

ON KEYS OR DIALS

These five actions work on a key for a fixed value, or on a Stream Deck+ dial: rotate to adjust, press to toggle power.

Brightness: set a level from 0 to 100 %. 0 % turns the light off.

Color: pick any colour, or rotate through the full colour wheel.

Color Temperature: warm to cool white, across the range your light actually supports.

Segment Color: rainbow, solid or gradient patterns across segments 1–15 of an RGB IC strip, or tune one segment with the dial.

Saturation: from grey to vivid.

KEY ACTIONS

On / Off: toggle, force on or force off. The key lights up or dims with the light, and groups show how many lights are on (for example 1/2).

Recall: one key for any saved look: Govee dynamic scenes, DIY scenes and snapshots in a single list.

Scene: dynamic scenes fetched from each light, so you only see what it supports.

Snapshot: apply presets saved in the Govee app.

Music Mode: sound-reactive lighting with the light's own modes and adjustable sensitivity.

Feature Toggle: Nightlight, Gradient, DreamView and more, shown only for lights that have them.

Custom Effect: animated RGB effects on RGB IC strips, on one light or a whole group.

Schedule: daily, weekly or delayed actions in your local time. Manage every schedule from one list.

Sequence: chain several commands with delays, all from one key.

GROUPS

Combine lights into groups and control them together from any action. If one light in a group doesn't respond, the key shows it (for example ⚠ 1/2) instead of pretending everything worked.

SETUP

Install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace.Key).

Drag an action onto a key or dial, paste the key once, and pick a light.

The API key is shared by all actions and stored locally on your computer. There are no accounts, no servers and no analytics.
