A neon-look RGBIC rope for desks and walls, and one of the few Govee lights that also speaks Matter. In HA you get plain light control locally; the shape mapping and segment effects stay in the Govee app.
What can Home Assistant control on the Govee Neon Rope Light 2 (5 m)?
| Control | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Light | Light | On/off, brightness and colour as a standard light entity. |
| LAN control | Device setting | Enable LAN control in the Govee Home app first. |
HA's Govee Light Local integration covers Govee's neon rope family once LAN control is enabled in the Govee Home app, and the Matter listing gives a second local route via the Matter integration. Neither exposes per-segment colours.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the Govee Neon Rope Light 2 (5 m) work with Home Assistant locally?
- Yes. The Govee Neon Rope Light 2 (5 m) is controlled locally in Home Assistant through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (govee_light_local), so it keeps working if your internet connection or the Govee cloud goes down. Control and state updates stay on your own network.
- Which protocol does the Govee Neon Rope Light 2 (5 m) use, and do I need a hub?
- The Govee Neon Rope Light 2 (5 m) uses Wi-Fi and Matter. To pair it with Home Assistant you need no hub — it joins your Wi-Fi network directly; or a Thread border router if it is Matter-over-Thread, or just your Wi-Fi network if it is Matter-over-Wi-Fi. Govee's own hub is not required when you integrate through a built-in Home Assistant core integration (govee_light_local).
