## RGBIC Segment Control
70+
71+
For devices with RGB segments (like LED strips), you can choose how to control them:
72+
73+
| Mode | Use Case |
74+
|------|----------|
75+
| **Individual Segments** | Control each segment separately with different colors (default) |
76+
| **Grouped Segments** | Control all segments together as a single light — perfect for synchronized effects |
77+
| **Disabled** | Hide all segment entities if you don't need them |
78+
79+
**To change the mode:**
80+
1. Go to **Settings****Devices & Services****Govee****Configure**
81+
2. Set "Segment control mode" to your preference
82+
3. Save — entities are automatically updated
