v1.2

New Features

• Configuration file path is OS agnostic. It should now work on Linux/Unix, MacOS & Windows
• Added -init flag to the CLI

Minor Breaking Changes

While the flags or execution have not changed. The following might be of importance for older users (v1.1 and v1.0):

• The name of the configuration file changed from govee.json to goveelux.json
• The name of the executable binary file (sole deliverable) changed too from govee to goveelux

Other Changes

• Refactoring
• Added GitHub workflow
• Increased coverage with new tests.

v1.1

2nd Release of GoveeLux for continued support of Govee Smart Devices & Appliances. I plan to continue working on this nifty utility. I have fun using my Govee devices with it.

Known Limitations

• Configuration file path only for Linux/Unix. Next release will fix that. Other than that it should work on Windows.

New Features

• Added -brightness NNN command (light devices)
• Added -color rrggbb command (light devices)
• The -state command now detects if device is a light, if so, it outputs relevant information about the light.

Other Changes

• Some refactoring
• Release now has Linux ARMv7L and Linux x386 binaries.
• README is now shorter because I split it into README and USER_MANUAL
• Project now has sponsorship links (it helps to keep investing time in this)

v1.0 First Release

First release (tested on Raspberry Pi running Debian Linux). It supports the following commands:

• Listing of all devices in network (-list)
• Querying the connection and power state of a device (-state)
• Turning on a device (-on)
• Turning off a device (-off)

The GOVEE API can be stored on an environment variable or a configuration file. User can have an annotated catalogue of devices in the configuration file.
