Govee cloud devices brought into Home Assistant

Claude wired an MQTT bridge to Govee's cloud API so long-range water sensors with no existing integration, and then every other Govee device, show up in Home Assistant.

The full story

Some Govee long-range water sensors aren't supported by any Govee integration for Home Assistant. Their owner asked Claude to add them, and it set up an MQTT bridge to Govee's cloud API, which brought in the sensors and every other Govee device on the account: lights, thermometers, humidistats and strip lights.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
