Project: Syncing Govee lights to sports events

I've been working on a project that syncs Govee lights to live sports scores (lumealert.com), and I wanted to share my progress. The idea is simple: when a team scores, the lights change color in real-time to match the excitement of the moment.

Right now, I’m pulling live game data and using the Govee API to trigger lighting effects. It supports multiple teams, and I’m working on adding Philips Hue integration as well. The goal is to make it easy for fans to get instant, automatic updates through their smart lighting setup. It's been quite difficult making all the users "happy" with timing- as streaming and live are completely different.

I’d love to hear if anyone else has tried something similar or has ideas on improving the experience. Thinking about adding more customization options—maybe different effects for goals, touchdowns, or home runs. Open to suggestions!
