Lux is a command-line interface for controlling and monitoring Govee lighting strips built in Go. Lux provides it's users with the ability to manage their lighting strips from their desktop computer from any network with an internet connection

Installation

We provide a simple installer for each release for Windows but if that's not suitable for you, you can easily compile Lux directly from source. You can get the latest copy of Lux from our GitHub releases, or via winget

winget install JackDevey.Lux

If you choose to self compile, you will need to add the path to lux.exe to your Path environment variables in order for Lux to be detected as a command in PowerShell & CMD

If you're already using a terminal, restart it so that it can register the changes to the environment variables. Then, run the following command to begin setting up your instance of Lux

lux setup
