Govee Smart Ceiling Light Pro in a rental with a dimmer, what would you do?

Renting an apartment in Finland with a dimmer switch that I can't replace. Want to install a Govee Smart Ceiling Light Pro but dimmers and smart lights don't mix. Govee support confirmed it needs a regular switch. Bypassing the dimmer with Wago connectors would likely void my home insurance since DIY electrical work isn't allowed here without a license. What would you do, bypass anyway, or just leave the dimmer at max and hope nobody touches it?

Bypassed a dimmer for a smart bulb, does this void home insurance in Finland?

Renting an apartment with a dimmer switch. Want to use a smart bulb so I bypassed the dimmer with Wago connectors. If something unrelated causes a fire later, can the insurance company deny the claim because of this? Asked “If” directly but got a non-answer.

UPDATE:
Thanks for the replies, everyone! Dealing with electrical stuff is definitely simpler back in my home country. I’ve decided to try keeping the dimmer at 100% first. If the light starts acting up, I’ll play it safe and call a certified electrician. Appreciate the help!
