So digging further into this it seems to be an issue with me trying to set my office lights at same time. I have 4 govee lights in my office; a 3m neon desk light, 2 standard govee glides and a govee glide music I've got motion sensor automation to turn them off/on and I've built scripts that will flick the lights from cold white to warm white, and between some colour modes using DIY's or scenes When I am triggering these scripts it appears to work sometimes, but I have noticed the glides only set some segments. I've tested this with different colours, scenes and colour temperatures and it does the same thing, will share the automations codes for reference tonight when on a full pc. Likewise if I run one of the colour ones, it seems to work, but sometimes it will miss a light out, and I get the too many requests in the log. I've tried adding a break In the automaton so there is a 3-4 second gap between lights, but it is still intermittent. Again will share scripts code later when I have easier access to copy / paste |

Right, looking further into it, the automations seem to work when I flick between animated scenes or music modes, for example if I set my desk light, Glide music & 2x Govee glides to any animated scene, then change to any other animated scene, it works fine. But if I try and set them to white or blue via Govee2mqtt. that is where it seems to cause problems - perhaps because it is sending so many commands to individual segments? Script code below - I am using the lights functionality, not sure if I should be doing this some other way? |

When I trigger any of my other office lights - the Glide music equaliser, 2x Standard Glide lights - they work as expected with power on and I can apply effects via the "Effect" in an automation without an issue, to allow me to write scripts for different lighting modes using DIY's or the Govee scenes.
When I trigger the Govee Desk Light Strip, H61C3, it powers on fine in an automation, but if I set it to switch to an effect, it briefly animates with the effect across its length one time, and then sets itself back to its last solid colour state - so essentially if I set it to an effect with a gradient of blue and purple, it animates blue and purple 1x across the strip and then goes back to white or whatever colour it was last in.
Using the MQTT integratrion interface to select the light icon, and then select an icon does not work if I have triggered this behaviour in a script, but if I then change the colour via this interface and select a solid colour and THEN switch to an effect, that works fine, but the script doesn't work no matter how many times I do it, so seems specifically around setting an effect via an automation. have tried multiple effect names in case it was a specific effect.
