Hey, anyone use the newer Govee products that are Matter enabled in Home Assistant? How much control does HA have on these products? How much are you forced to use the Govee app?

My govee lights are the bane of my smart home. I've tried 3 different ways of integrating them and really only Govee2MQTT has been working for me but it's really delayed. Wish I had known about zigbee and HA before redoing our basement's lighting.

Edit to answer your actual question: I had to use the govee app a ton before Govee2MQTT and it still is the only non HA integration that's directly hooked up with Google.
