Govee Device SKU: H705D
Device name: House Eaves Garage
Govee2MQTT Version: 2026.03.25-ab9deb66
Describe the issue
Sending individual segment color/brightness commands via light.turn_on on the
per-segment light entities (e.g. light.house_eaves_garage_segment_011) returns a
successful response from the Platform API for that specific segment index, but the
physical LED string does not render the segment in isolation — the whole string
appears to update together instead of just the targeted segment.
I've confirmed this is not a hardware limitation: the official Govee app can
control individual segments correctly on this same device. The issue only appears
when controlling segments through Govee2MQTT.
Steps to reproduce
- Call
light.turn_on targeting a single segment entity (e.g. segment 11) with a
distinct color/brightness
- Wait, then call
light.turn_off on that same segment, and repeat for the next
segment in sequence
- Expected: only the targeted segment changes each time
- Actual: the entire string appears to change together

Additional context
Each request is scoped to a single segment index and receives a distinct successful
response, so this doesn't appear to be a command-formatting issue on the
Govee2MQTT/Home Assistant side — the physical rendering just doesn't match what the
API confirms was set. Happy to provide more logs or test specific command formats if
that's useful for narrowing this down.
