r/Govee

Bought this last week after some of the amazing videos on here but I think I am one of the unlucky few who can't get it to work at all.

The colour accuracy isn't too bad when demoing colourful videos like test videos or animes/cartoons but anytime the screen is black during a show I get blue or red colours. I've tried setting saturation to 1% but that's hardly ideal and it's still blue/red.

Also I think my TV is just too reflective and it picks up all the reflections. I don't really understand how I could eliminate that without removing everything away from my TV which I can't do. Do these camera just not work very well with certain TV coatings? I've got a Samsung and maybe the coating is just too darn reflective.

Does anyone have any handy tips, guides or advice to try before I give up the ghost?

I only discovered Govee lights about 6 months ago so I am still trying to learn what I can about the products.

I had been planning on getting some of the Permanent Outdoor Pro lights by next Christmas season, however, I was in Best Buy a couple of weeks ago and found a 100’ box of the Elites / 2s marked down from $329 to $99. So of course I bought it as it seemed like a no brainer.

My roofline is very basic, with no jumps or need to splice anywhere. 100’ would cover the entire front and at least wrap a few feet around either side. I see that 16’ extensions are available so maybe I’d even add 1 or 2 of these

My dilemma currently is trying to decide if I would be happy with the Elite /2s, or if I should still get the Pros and figure out a way to repurpose the Elites.

My primary concern is the lights being RGBICW vs the Pros RGBICWW. I would like to only use selectively individual light pucks most

Of the year outside of holiday seasons. My wife like the warm white colors vs the bright white.

I already have a pair of the up / down lights and some LED strips around my garage door casing and some windows that are also RGBICWW.

I’ve been reading that it would be difficult to match the white colors with the Elites /2s. I’ve been using Chat GPT to get most of my information, but was wondering if anyone could provide some real world advice.

Other than white light, what other potential cons are there if I elect to go with the Elites / 2. I know that each puck is a bit less bright, but perhaps the closer spacing / greater number of pucks per 100’ would make up for that somewhat?

Really just trying to decide whether it’s absolutely worrh it to spend the extra money for the pros. Feel like I should take advantage of the great deal I stumbled upon but don’t want to have any regrets everytime I look at the lights on my house.

Thanks in advance to all who provide any feedback.

Hi everybody.

I just received my new Govee Floor Lamp.

Is it possible to set it up so that it simulates a gradual sunrise, starting with a dim warm light and finishing with a bright whiter light?

I can see the "wake up" setting that allow you to have a gradual increase of the brightness, but I don't think you can change the colour temperature using this setting.

Am I missing something? Or is there another way?

Not a huge fan of the camera on my original TV backlight set.

I upgraded to a larger TV and am interested in lighting this one up too...

Reviewed have been mixed for both sets online.

Figured I'd come here as usual.

Just wondering what the best option would be for me. I have a 65 inch Samsung TV with the external one connect receiver box, which my tv/ps5/switch are all tied into. We do everything through the ps5(YouTube, netflix, Hulu, etc), and occasionally play the switch, but never use the native apps on the tv, or even watch Samsung TV or anything like that.

I've been looking at the two devices in the title. Not worried about the aesthetics like the camera sticking over the top, or hiding cables or anything because I have plugs behind the tv. My main concern is functionality with shows and games, coming primarily from the ps5. Keeping up with the color changing, matching colors , etc.

Pretty much want it to look really good so my wife and our young kids will think I'm cool 😅

Hello.
If it has been asked before - just ignore this post. I was truly amazed by videos of Sync Box 2 in action, so i got myself a birthday present. Unfortunately in other users clips wthe lights are working smoothly, creating great effect. Mine look like i bought a 220€ christmas light led strip. Colours are mismatched often as well. When i tried dreamview - although my device is H6684 (full kit) it appears as strip only. H6604 (box itself) appears as an option to buy from govee store. Not mentioning I've followed all guides, instructions, tutorials, but only way to connect to it(strip - box is not available) is bluetooth. Can someone explain where did i took the wrong turn?

I’ve had the sync box 2 for a while and love it, but hate it doesn’t work streaming off the smart tv. So I’m considering getting the apple tv 4k cause everyone say it’s great UI and everything, so I was wondering can I plug it into the sync box and have the lights work with the streaming on it?

I know when I use it with my consoles sometimes, well usually, there is a delay waiting for the console to load up on the tv which is annoying, but I can get past.

So really just looking to see people experiences mixing these two products?

Thanks!

I got a Govee model H7071 Decoration Projector just before last Christmas but before winter was over the 12V 2A DC power supply that screws onto the end of the power cord had shorted and the prongs that go into an AC outlet or extension cord had completely melted off along with some of the plastic housing around them. Govee does not offer or sell these and it's difficult to find the right fit among all the ones offered on Amazon. Has anyone here had any success with finding one of them or knows of one that would fit the DC connector?

I have a Govee strip light. I have it set to turn blue late afternoon, go off at bedtime and start in the morning.

How can I have it start in the morning on white, and then go blue later on? Now, it starts as blue in the morning. Cannot find a way to fix this in the insanely complicated app. There is no way to make it white; just a sort of tan.

Why can't they have a simple timer/color feature????

I have several govee products. The floor lamp, outside LED bulbs around my house and a few strips around my tv and cabinets. All of them have recently started turning on/off at random times and each one doing it independently and it’s weirding me out. I don’t have auto-run set on any of them and don’t know why this all of a sudden started happening after years of them not doing this. Anyone else having these issues or know how to fix?
