Govee Light's not triggering after yesterday's API degraded perfromance

I noticed that your team issued a Govee API resolved message last night, and I was testing my setup today, but none of my lights work anymore. The only thing that works when I use my physical button now is my smart plug. I have tried both in test and live mode. I did recreate the actions and requested a different api key, but still not working. Any idea what could be the problem?

    After verification, you can simply re-select the Scene on each of your light.

    The scenes you have selected don’t exist anymore: that’s the response Govee API returns ConnectedRoom:

    You can go on your Action, and click “Select Scene” on each of your lights to fix the issue.

      Got it, yeah, that did the trick, but it’s a bummer the Scenes dont work anymore. I tried several of them, and they didn’t work anymore. The normal Flash and single lights are working, though. Appreciate your help!

        You can create DIY scenes in the Govee app. They will appear in Scenes

    Everything seems to be back to normal. I doubt this is related.

    I can take a look at your account in about 40 minutes

      Just wondering if your team was able to find anything with my account? Thx!

        Have you tried switching to Test Mode and back to Live? Have you tried triggering using buttons? Everything is fine and no other reports as well.

          Yes, the issue happens to me in both Live and Test mode. If I try the buttons option the same thing happens only the Govee smart plug works but the lights do not turn on. I unplugged all lights for 10 minutes, recreated the actions, restarted my router, reset the WiFi connection on my Govee lights, used a different API key, tested triggering actions from different devices, connected different Govee lights and nothing works, I’m not sure what else to try now.

            I will check what the API response from Govee is tomorrow. My timezone is EST. Will follow up with you as soon as I can

              Ok sure, thank you so much! Still love this software regardless of this! Two thumbs up! 👍

        You have the Ducks selected as your team. My Team Only enabled, and the Ducks lost 7-0 against Utah. It certainly did not trigger yesterday for sure.

          Yeah I know, but I’m still able to trigger the actions even if the team does not score right? I was trying it today just to test after the outage but just stopped working. It was working fine during the game as I tested it once before the game started.

      Everything is correctly setup in your account. This is on Govee’s end. Everything is working correctly.

    Thank you for the speedy reply. I disconnected all my lights and reconnected just in case, and can turn them on with the Govee app, so they are working. There just seems to be something preventing the integration from kicking in for those lights specifically. Standing by for your update!
