@homebridge-plugins/homebridge-govee 11.32.2-beta.18 → 11.32.2-beta.19

package/CHANGELOG.md

@@ -37,6 +37,8 @@ All notable changes to `@homebridge-plugins/homebridge-govee` will be documented
 - refactor: move the settings parsing into its own file, away from the code that talks to devices
 - refactor: move the work of describing a device to its handler into its own file
 - refactor: move the rules for combining govee's device lists, and for letting go of a device that has gone, into their own file with tests
+- test: check what the plugin sends over aws, the local network and the public api, none of which was covered before
+- feat: say when govee has not listed a capability the plugin is about to use, since the request then succeeds and the device does nothing
