Unable to select RGB Colours in Home App

What issue do you have? Please be as thorough and explicit as possible.

I have two H6159 strip lights which I am unable to set to RGB colours when using the Apple Home App. Instead of changing to the selected colour, they default to a low-brightness blue/white. I am only able to change the colour using the temperature mode or going into the Goove App

I tried removing and re-adding the lights which seemed to work for a little while but it has now stopped working again. Now if I remove and re-add the lights to the Home App but do not set up adaptive lighting in the app, the Home app crashes when I select and RGB colour

I have tried setting up BLE connection, and disabling adaptive lighting, allowing API whitelisting but none of those has worked. I also tried creating automation to turn/change the lights to RGB colour, but the Automation just fails.

Photos added show the colour of the LEDs when selecting RGB Red in the home App as an example

Details of your setup.

• Do you use (1) Homebridge UI-X (2) Homebridge CLI or (3) HOOBS? I manage the homebridge using the web app.

• Which version of Homebridge/HOOBS do you have? I am currently running v1.5.1

• Which platform do you run Homebridge/HOOBS on (e.g. Raspberry Pi/Windows/HOOBS Box)? Please also mention your version of Node.js/NPM if known. Raspberry Pi and running node.js v16.18.0

• Which version of this plugin (homebridge-govee) do you have? Has the issue started since upgrading from a previous version? currently running v7.1.1. It has worked previously but unfortunately, I can not give an exact version number it stopped working on. I would say I’ve only noticed the issue in the past month or so

• Which Govee devices do you have that are causing issues? Please include product models if applicable. H6159 LED lights

Hi @eyeslow can you install the new beta version of the plugin and see if brightness and/or colour control is fixed?

Hi @eyeslow can you install the new beta version of the plugin and see if brightness and/or colour control is fixed?

Wow, that was fast. Everything is working as expected, the colour changes correctly and also the brightness gets applied properly. Thank you! This change will be included in the next main release, am I right?

Have a pleasant evening and a happy new year!
