H70C5 Some effects do not work / appear correctly when selected from effects drop down in Home Assistant

[bagobones]

Govee Device SKU

H70C5

Govee2MQTT Version

2024.07.21-c9d27764

Describe the issue

Just setup the lights and most things are working GREAT!..

However I have noticed that some effects when selected in the Home Assistant Effects drop down don't work.. Like Candy Cane will work but Candy Cane B will not.. This happens on a few different effects but not all.

Example of logs given with Candy Cane B which appears all blue instead of the red and white twirl if selected in the govee app

I'm having a similar issue, I think a workaround would be using tap-to-run or snapshots instead. However neither of those are showing in HA for me - opening a new issue for that.

For tap to run that won't appear Try removing all existing tap to run and add a new simple one, it solves the issue on my side

@bagobones I have a H70C5 too but can't see any effects.. Is there something you've done to have effects ?

Other than read the documentation and set it up no?

1. The LAN protocol only works in the same network, and if you have enabled it on the device.. If you have VLANS you might have to jump through some hoops like have UDP forwarding (not getting into that), or have the govee2mqtt server it self running in the same VLAN as the lights.
2. I have my govee credentials set so it can query their services.

that is about it.

I finally found effects ! They are not visible on the mqtt dashboard but only when you click on the entity... I have the same issue , all effects linked to shape mapping are not working :( Most of them are named with a B

Is that what the B indicates? That explains a lot.
