Discover and control Govee lights (power, brightness, color, white temperature, scenes) through Govee's developer API. Every command is checked against the model's advertised capabilities and ranges, then confirmed by a state read-back.

## Good to know before installing

Sends device IDs and control commands to openapi.api.govee.com with your Govee API key; the model can change light state; stores nothing on disk.

From the plugin's catalog listing.

## How to install

1. Install it. Hermes asks for any API keys it needs (this one needs `GOVEE_API_KEY`), then asks whether to turn it on.

```bash
hermes plugins install govee
```

2. Said no? Turn it on later:

```bash
hermes plugins enable govee
```

3. Restart Hermes so it loads the plugin.

Some plugins also need a sign-in or settings: see the official page. Memory plugins ask whether to become your memory provider instead. Steps follow the official plugins guide: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/user-guide/features/plugins
