Is anyone having the hair pulling issue of Govee device switching to Bluetooth and forgetting the wifi connection, this causes the device to be unavailable in HA

To me, this sounds like a Govee issue, not HA. Also, your description is fully missing.

@LaggAt provably should be closed.

Same. Started maybe two weeks ago. I can launch the Govee Home app on my phone, and it'll show wifi disconnected from every. single. device.

Refreshing or just waiting and it will show all devices connected to wifi again. THEN I can run any automations or scenes. All other smart home devices (Kasa/TPLink, Aqara, Yolink) are rock solid.

I run a mesh wifi, and often the Govee devices are within feet of the wifi nodes.

Totally NOT a HA issue, for sure. Just infuriating that Govee makes the best 'worst' smart devices around.

I have the same issue. Can't get Govee devices to work reliably either HA but they never have an issue with the Govee app.

I also have this problem! Devices always offline in HA, but available by Bluetooth in the Govee App, and disconnected from my Wifi for whatever reason.

I've swapped to Kasa's new light strips for IP lights, very happy so far.

Seeing the same thing here as well - I opened an issue with Govee but not holding my breath. But since the devices are not on WIFI my automations will not run and for space heaters that’s not good.

Same problem here. Is there any solution with your openend issue by govee @BlueThunder93 ?

Same Problem here. I can see the Govee in the WiFi and I see traffic to the cloud but in HA with the correct API key the device is not reachable.
