I recently bought a Govee lamp for my desk, which I can control using my Google Home Assistant. But... It also has API support. 🙂 In this blog post, I will show you how to control it using PowerShell in a Function to turn it Red, Orange, or Green so you can use it for a visual outcome of your PowerShell script.

Recent podcasts I was a guest on

Brighten up your day when starting a new PowerShell session by... Getting a 9GAG item (Picture/movie clip) in your browser 🙂 I was working on parameter sets and got side-tracked into this script.
