I’m trying to get a bunch of Govee matter downlights working with HA and facing frustrating inconsistency. When I interact with the bulbs one at a time through the entity UI (the thing with the big slider for brightness and the color disc for selecting your color) it’s quite reliable. When I put multiple bulbs into a scene they all update reliably when activating live edit mode,
The frustrating bit is when using the scene day to day, application of the scene is very hit or miss. Often lights will switch to the new state for brightness, but stay the color they were. Sometimes neither update.
More confounding is that when I look in the logs, it appears that the matter integration thinks that the update applied:
2026-01-04 22:19:08.605 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.matter] Got brightness 21 for light.downlight_studio_east_corner
2026-01-04 22:19:08.606 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.matter] Got color temperature 370 for light.downlight_studio_east_corner
2026-01-04 22:19:08.606 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.matter] Got color mode (hs) for light.downlight_studio_east_corner
2026-01-04 22:19:08.606 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.matter] Got hs color (0.0, 100.0) for light.downlight_studio_east_corner
same four lines per light in the scene…
My logs are full of all these seeming success messages when clearly the lights are staying white during this entire time (the scene should have them turning red to be in nightlight mode.
Has anyone else had problems with Govee matter lights like this? Any workarounds? I explored using a script to force apply and re-apply the values one at a time and had some success, however the approach had issues with either saturating my network during the application, or taking too long if I added enough delay. None of my other matter lights seem to have this problem - it just the difficult-to-replace downlights I just spent far more on than I want to give up on.
Interested in any sort of feedback or pointers on how to get this working.
