Hi everyone,
I’ve successfully added several Govee lights to Home Assistant via Matter, including:
- Govee RGBIC Smart Ceiling Light, 24W Ø30cm, dimmable
- Govee RGBICWW Floor Lamp, three-zone lighting, 1000 lm, 80+ scene modes
- Govee RGBIC LED Floor Lamp, 1000 lm, dimmable
They all appear in Home Assistant and I can control basic functions like on/off, dimming, and some color changes.
However, compared to the official Govee app, the functionality is extremely limited:
- No micro-zone lighting control
- No access to individual segments or advanced color effects
- Cannot control background lights or other additional features
I understand that the official integration also exposes only limited functionality, so I’m wondering:
- Is this a Matter limitation?
- A limitation in Home Assistant’s Matter implementation?
- Or something that Govee would need to expose better in Matter?
Basically, I’d like to have full feature access in Home Assistant similar to what the Govee app offers.
Has anyone found a better way to integrate these lights fully into Home Assistant? Would it be worth submitting this as a feature request to Home Assistant, or is this something that can only be solved by Govee improving their Matter support?
Thanks for any insights!
