When I added my lights, only my outdoor lights connected. Is that a govee issue or a connected room issue?

Are your other lights connected to wifi?
Govee API only works with lights connected to wifi.
The bluetooth-only version of the products won't work.

Gotcha. Thank you. Did they used to work for Bluetooth? I feel like last year it worked.

Govee API never really supported Bluetooth only products.
The only way to control them is with a Bluetooth dongle, and something like Home Assistant / Home Kit that has a Bluetooth Govee integration, but at the price of these lights, I think it would be much cheaper to simply buy the wifi versions.
Govee recently made a change however; Bluetooth lights used to be displayed by the API even though not working, but they stopped displaying them due to confusion.
