Govee-Reverse-Engineering Help H617A reverse engineering

I have looked through the entirety of GitHub and the rest of Google to find a successful reverse engineer for the model H617A, but I could not find anything please help me I tried it with a Mac and a few other utilities to find out the characteristics and the commands for turning on and off but every time I try to execute that command with a python script for example it just disconnects or does not work, but the strangest thing is that Homebridge plugin as well as Homeassistant plugin both do work with this model so it is 100% possible but despite searching through the source code of the two plugins I couldn't get it working.

Tools I used:

I am working on the same thing now actually, it seems like there isn't much information about this model from a reverse engineering standpoint

You may want to look at #19 which is some of my notes on the 10 m (20 segment) H61xx.

I believe that the plugins working may be a red herring as I think that at least the homebridge-govee plugin "requires your Govee credentials for most device models and Cloud/BLE connections" and may not use Bluetooth for local connection.
