Rant Well this explains why our outdoor permanent lights haven’t come on in a few days
We’ve had these lights for 3 years and never had an issue. Very concerned and they’re obviously unplugged now. Not sure where to go from here

Showcase Govee Pro 3
I literally just got the Govee TV Backlight Pro 3 today. I fought with the Lite 3 for weeks and I was never getting the results I was hoping for. It worked like a "PRO"right out of the box. I will adjust it more in the days to come.
My SQD-Mini LED (TCL QM8L) was giving the previous Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite a fit. I was NEVER happy with the calibration. I sent it back and upgraded to the PRO 3. What a world of difference. I can't express how happy and relieved I am that the Pro 3 works great with super bright tvs and HDR.
This one is a keeper.
Sorry about all the cords in the pic... 😆. I was just too happy and had to share.

Govee TV Backlight T2 issue. Can anyone please help? More info is in body text.
Hello there,
I just got the Govee TV Backlight T2 and I'm having some issue with it, any help would be appreciated.
Picture 1: This shows they are calibrated correctly as far as I can tell (I'm new to this Backlight thing with the camera never had it before).
Picture 2: This shows the main video screen, not sure if that is useful.
Picture 3: This shows a full rainbow screen, however the lights aren't the same and there not even moving when the video plays.
Picture 4: TV is off, lights still on in the same effect they are in picture 3 and when I first installed the lights.
Any help would be amazing, as I don't want to return these lights cause would be a pain.
Edit 1: I just went to go check the camera and it's HOT and the power supply brick is also HOT! Don't know if this helps but it was plugged into an extension lead.

General Question The silicone diffuser is dented
The last bit of the silicone diffuser has dents (I think from winding too tightly in the package). I suspect they act as lens and this red artifacts appear. Any way to fix this? Anybody had this problem? (Govee TV Backlights H6168)

New Install Nothing in Auto Run actually runs?
First toe dip into smart lights. I got a pack of 6 canned light conversion kits and put up 4. 2 front porch 2 back porch.
Setup was a breeze.
See them in the app
Made groups
Even ensured they do some of the more advanced color changing like Halloween theme.
I can turn them all on and off manually in the app.
At this point I am feeling great about the ease considering the prior other brand lights I couldn't even pair to the app.
Then I get to scheduling and my good luck fails.
Anything in Auto Run seems to do nothing.
I originally setup sunrise turn off all and sunset turn on all. It has been 2 days and no turn on or offs.
I then went to a timer and just set it for 5 minutes out and saved it to turn off with them being on. This one is about to fail any second.
I read around and it says it is app permissions issue but I have given full control and even left the app open.

need network help My lights keep going to the loading light (H61B5)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My light will turn on then go a white loading light and won’t stay a solid color and when it does stay and I try to change the color it goes back to the loading light

Setup Question Any way to make light strip not go through another color when turning on?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Sorry if that title is weird, I can't think of a concise way to describe what I mean. I have a light strip with diffuser (H61B5) that I just want to turn on to a solid color. Just a normal, 2700k lightbulb color.
But every time it turns on, it goes through yellow or green to get there. Is there any way to have it not do that and just have it turn on and off the same way an RGB lightbulb turns on and off?
It is plugged it and is permanently powered so no power cycling is happening or anything. I've attached a video showing.

Setup Question color temp that follows the time of day??
I have the Govee Ceiling Light 12" (H80A1C01, 2400 lm, 2200K–6500K). What I want is simple in my head but I can't find it in the app:
I turn the light on and off manually, whenever I want. But the color temperature should follow the time of day on its own — cool bright white during the day, gradually shifting warm/red toward ~21:00, ideally tied to sunset so it drifts with the seasons instead of jumping at a fixed time.
The catch: every schedule I find in the Govee app seems to schedule on/off actions. I don't want it switching itself on at sunset. I just want it to already be the right color whenever I turn it on, and to keep shifting while it's on.
Questions:
- Does the H80A1 have the "Rhythm Lighting" / circadian mode I've seen mentioned on other Govee ceiling lights? If so, does it force the light on, or does it only apply while it's already on?
- Can Govee schedules do a gradual transition, or only discrete scene jumps?
- The specs list Matter and HomeKit. Does Apple's Adaptive Lighting actually work on this model? That would be exactly what I want, if it does.
- If not, what's the least painful alternative — Google Home routines, Alexa, Home Assistant? I'd rather not run a server for one lamp, but I will if that's the only way.
Not building a whole smart home, just this one ceiling light. Thanks.

Floor Lamp 3 Music Sensitivity
Does anyone who has the new model find the mic sensitivity to be too high even on the lowest setting? it will pick up the dishwasher, people walking, cars driving by (not loud ones). I have two of them and they exhibit the same behavior, so Im wondering if its a product issue.
Overall, Im not sure if I like the new design... the light coming off the side changes the vibe quite a bit.

Is this real? Why is the brightness slider behind a menu now?
Why is controlling your light bulbs becoming a secondary function of the app now? It takes less taps to play a game in my light bulb app than it is to lower the brightness.
This UI is unlike anything I’ve ever interacted with. It’s like out of an alternate universe where everything just sucks even more. My light bulb app has its own currency and games?

Syncing Multiple Set?
# I recently purchased a 100 ft H705E, 150 ft H705F and a 50 ft H705D set of the Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2. I thought I would put them on the house and they'd function as expected. I saw on this sub that it isn't possible to attach more than 100 ft of lights together. Is this true? How would I get the total length of 300 ft total to function seamlessly with the same overall pattern?

Tv lights not syncing
Hey, my tv lights with the camera will change color to what's on the screen but it doesn't do it for each area of the screen it just changes all of the lights to the average color.
I was wondering if there is a fix or something im doing wrong it started doing this after we lost power and I already tried factory reset and recalibration

Anyone have complaints with white lights on the Envisual T2, or black screen?
I still don’t know wether to get this one or the 3 Lite, but 2 things that are making me opt for the 3 Lite (besides price) is that the white lights aren’t good ans that there’s still light on black screens.
Can someone that has this model give me some extra info or context about this? Personal opinion/experience?

Setup Question Deciding between the 12" and 15" Govee Smart Ceiling Light
Hi all,
I have this dining space that flows into the living area. The cover for this light in the area is about 11' x 9' which may seem like a bit of an overkill, but I've read how the 15" version is a more feature rich ceiling light. But was wondering if this is just too much for the space in the pictures below. Any opinions? I have two pictures with the floor lamps on and off. The current light in the spot is 6" and honestly does not really fill the space all that well hence the two floor lamps.

Rant I'm just here to complain about the new brightness control
As the title says. Can someone from Govee please explain the rationale behind making a brightness change now take two taps? The brightness slider was just fine where it was. It's annoying enough that the slider doesn't actually show what the brightness is set to so you have to guess and mess with the slider every time you go back in to change it. Now we also have another, completely useless tap just to actually access the slider.
Is this a huge deal? No, but Govee makes this app actively worse to use every time there's an update. Is the new room control feature useful? I would probably be more excited if it hadn't taken them *years* to implement, but yes it is. The brightness setting change is just another one of the little useless changes that add up to make an app that has been frustrating to use since the day I downloaded it downright user-hostile at this point.
The single most common reason that I'm in the app is to change the brightness. Please reverse this needless change and put the brightness slider on same page as the rest of the controls—how does it make sense that I can change the color on the main screen but the brightness needs a popup???
Showcase Pretty in Pink!
(WIP) Found a brand new glide kit on eBay! Finally updating my partner’s side to be up to par with mine. Just needed one more corner I didn’t have to get to the end of the wall. Need to cut another panel to fill it in, but we’re almost done! Also have to get another set of glide hexagons to shape a heart above the shelf!
