Govee Lights not working when Internet is down. | Home Assistant | Page 1

I recently set up 6 Govee Ceiling Lights (H60A1).

I added them to HA using the Govee Lights Local integration.

I changed the settings on each light and set the LAN Control to ENABLED

I was able to connect to the Lights and turn them all on or off, adjust the light levels, but could not do any effects with them.

The very next day, we had a large storm and lost Internet for 2 full days.

During the outage, I could no longer connect to the Lights using HA.

I had to wait until the internet came back up and then reboot my HA before I could control any of them again.

I am confused, I thought that using the Local integration would allow them to stay connected to HA even during an Internet shutdown. Did I do something incorrectly?

I am using:
Device: Intel NUC-7
16GB RAM
128GB storage

Core: 2026.1.2
Supervisor: 2026.01.1
Operating System: 16.3
Front-end: 20260107.2
