Completely changed the vibe of my room

These Govee RGB LED strip lights completely changed the vibe of my room. The setup was surprisingly easy, and the adhesive sticks really well to walls and furniture. I installed them around my desk and bed frame, and they instantly made my room look more modern and clean.The app is honestly one of the best parts. It connects quickly to WiFi, and I like how customizable everything is. You can adjust brightness, colors, scenes, and even sync the lights with music. The music mode actually works better than I expected and makes movies, gaming, or just relaxing way more immersive.The colors are bright and vibrant, especially the blues and purples. I also appreciate that it works with Alexa and Google Assistant because I can control everything hands-free.For the price, the quality is excellent. I’ve had cheaper LED strips before, and these feel much more premium and reliable. Definitely worth it if you want to upgrade your bedroom or gaming setup without spending a ton.Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase.Ver más

“Go”Vee

I have to preface this review with I am a “Smart-home” wifi app controlled junkie. What I have indeed learned along my journey is not all Smart-home products do that, and in some cases can be more work than one that isn’t, a lot of that has to do with the demand and rushing of products out the door for the $ ignoring or bypassing the technology that’s available at the time…. And being that it changes rather rapidly it’s a don’t miss the boat game. I have learned to not jump at items for the cost. Sure it would be nice if things you want are cheaper but in the end longevity, quality, and reliability should be your goal. Now I don’t want to knock on wood or curse myself but I started with GOVEE in search of some air purifiers for my home, impressed with the quality, the ease of setup, so far reliable usage of the GOVEE home app I moved right on to all other available products and while much of them are in my cart and out of my price range right now, I’ll wait until money is good and purchase… so I have moved on to the wifi/Bluetooth LED Light strips, this one the 32’ which are 2 16 footers run off a single power pack one remote through one wire to a short Y splitter before it connects to the lights, so keep in mind as is and with no modifications there will be only one foot between the two strips…. Which is important to know if you are not going to modify them and simply want plug and play and further separation or even two independently controlled 16’ strips. I plan on modifying mine prior to installing to provide more separation between the two for my setup of this section of lighting.The picture only shows you them fresh out the box and already linked and controlled by the GOVEE home app. That leads me to my second recommendation, which is DO NOT pull them out of the box, go through all the trouble of installing them or any similar product without first ensuring it works properly via the stand alone remote and the App only to find out they don’t work… yes, I’ve done that before.The instructions, simple as they are, are adequate. I did see they recommend using a hair dryer to warm the tape if your ambient temperature is below a certain range, DO NOT skip that part (plus proper cleaning of surface) as that goes for any product you are applying to any surface via adhesive… a TIP… you don’t really need the hair dryer for this step, simply leave the lights rolled up and them to their brightest setting for a bit and that will heat the entire strips adhesive and accomplish the same thing.I did read and see reviews of bad LEDs or strips going bad in certain sections etc. and now I do not want to discount these reviewers but I also take these with a grain of salt knowing how mostly all LED strip lights in this category from every brand use the same tried and true methods…. Unfortunately what you have to know if you’re not familiar with these types of light is the wiring and contacts that piece all of these together are in some cases hair thin and it does not take much for anyone of us experienced or not to apply the wrong pressure at any of these points wether intentionally or by mistake so it is very IMPORTANT to install these lights with absolute finesse, take your time and be careful not to bend any of the joints at awkward angles, don’t let it fall out of your hands and bounce off the floor… because truth be told it doesn’t take much to make any of these joints super weak, and subsequently simple expansion and contraction From the heating up and cooling down from the lights turning on and off is all it takes to make a weak joint give, or short. I don’t want to assume that’s what happened with these particular users experiences but in all actuality it probably did. The bright side is if you are gentle during installation, and successful you will have lights that will more than likely operate for years to come. And in defense of these users No manufacturer as well is immune to defects in its products.So far I’m batting 1000, and I have a total of 29 of their products, a few on the way, and not one crash or error with the app.So overall I am absolutely pleased with the quality of GOVEE’s products and their GOVEE HOME app.I do look forward to owning all of their products and I hope they’re currently working on many more!I haven’t had to use the customer service at all so I have no comment on that… but I can only assume that’s a good thing !I’ll update this review once installation of this first set is done with more pics as well any encounters along the way. Until then I do want to at least say to GOVEE, thanks for for the awesome products, I’m truly enjoying them !And to any of you that read this, have any questions about these lights or any of the other products and I happen to have them I’ll be more than glad to help walk you through it… good luck, and don’t hesitate to buy these lights or many of their other products available!Ver más

Quality Strip Lights that fit my requirements

My situation: I wanted lights to replace the stock lights under my sofa which were way to bright and to illuminate the start of my tv stand diorama. These LED strip lights fit the bill and were close to the length I needed. Length of use thus far is 2 weeks with consistent on/off usage.I purchased two individual 16.4ft lights. The boxes are small and come with a basic 3 button wired remote (I do not use because I use the Android app with Google Home, I only used for initial testing out of the box), the DC brick, the spool of lights with durable 3M tape attached, an Isopropyl Alcohol cleaning pad, some small mounting hardware which I did not use and some paperwork and instructions.I specifically chose the 12V version over the 24V because I have short runs and I did not want/need bright or accurate color lights. Also, my couch has a built in suitable 12V power supply I will soon be using once I purchase a male to male DC adapter.Installation is easy and straight forward. Plug the 4 Pin connector from the light strip to the wired remote, connect the DC power connectors, plug DC brick into wall, turn on. The lights turned on as expected and the remote changed basic settings. I left the lights on as I installed. This helps me see where I am putting the lights and more important, heats the 3M tape up a little. I did NOT prepare any of my surfaces as they were for the most part clean. Installs in dusty or dirty environments will want to use the supplied Isopropyl Alcohol pad to clean the path the lights will be attached to.I changed my install path a few times, meaning I attached the strip and then pulled it off. Only in one place on my sofa, did the 3M tape NOT stick well the second. In this place, nothing but glue would work. I even attached the strip to felt fabric on the underside of my sofa, unstuck it and reattached it successfully. I did NOT experience any broken connections. I was somewhat gentle knowing it could break but peeling the strip off does create some stress.I have zero bad LEDs. Brightness and color is exactly what I want. I can dim it and change colors.I like the app for Android, despite the ads for their products. In the app search for the Model found on the box or the Amazon product details and follow the steps. This light connects via Bluetooth initially. It connects to Bluetooth first upon initial setup so it can connect the light to your WiFi easier (this process eliminates the need to connect to a device in the devices WiFi Settings and then connect back to your own WiFi). It does take a few seconds to connect to the device, but that is like a lot of other Govee products. It does connect successfully all the time in my experience. I like that all my Govee devices are in one app and are all, even these lights, Google compliant. My network is a combined 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz. There were no issues finding or connecting to my network. There really is no need for this device to have 5Ghz in my opinion.NOTE: No Govee Products are Samsung Smart Things compliant. This is NOT an issue because they do not claim to be. However, there are technical work arounds I found, but have not used.It did take me a few moments to figure out how to group the lights together in the Govee app. I did not read any instructions, nor did I look for any. I fumbled through the app and found it on the bottom of the Home tab. Not difficult, but for me, not entirely logical. Once setup though, the light group is found and used as a single light in Google. The bad side of using a group in the Govee app is that it is only Bluetooth. The individual lights are controlled by WiFi, but not the group. Google does not care about the Bluetooth for the group and will control the brightness and on/off via WiFi.There is a fun option in the phone app to set the color according to how you feel. It is in the Color Wheel selection. The app gives a list of feelings and an associated color. In my experience, the selection of colors correspond well to the feeling displayed.One item I dislike greatly is the poor programing of permissions in the app (on Android 13). I restrict a great deal of access on my phone (and yet I use IoT hahahaha). In the Group or individual device, selecting Camera Color Recognition, it requests to use the Camera (obviously). However, if I deny access or try to touch out of the screen, I am set into an endless loop of request/deny or it gets to a screen that forces me into the phone settings to allow access. All the other apps I have used, if I deny access, they tell me the feature is not available because I denied access. There are not repeated attempts to set the access. To exit, I have to close the app. The easy work around for this is either to set the permission or not use it. I do not use it.Using the mic option in the phone app is, for me, a gimmick. It is not accurate with any combination of bass or treble. It is close, and to be honest, I would not expect professional level accuracy. I use a Galaxy S20+ 5G for the mic. Party is highly inaccurate and Calm is the most accurate. Using the mic on the wired remote is more accurate depending on how far way from the sound source it is. The individual light strips do NOT sync when in the group. They will use their own light pattern and turn on/off according to each lights mic.I do not use any of the timer options, or the schedule for these lights. I do use it for other Govee light bulbs. It is a separate tab not accessible through the device itself. I thought that odd. However, once setup, it works. I also use this process along with Google Automations.I would buy again.

Product Could Be Better

I have a few qualms with the product, leading up to my four star review.1. It wasn’t what I expected. The product is listed as 65 ft of LED. So naturally I expected it to be one roll, but instead it was two. That would have been okay, except both strips are connected from power strip, and not able to connect and extend from each other.[💡-🔌-💡not 💡+ 💡🔌] Thus is was a bit harder to work with than anticipated. Next, I had previously had LED strips with a plastic covering over the LED that felt like silicone. It gave the lights a nice blend and blur. Naturally I had expected “well if I’m paying 60$ for LED surely they have to be the same quality of better.” Unfortunately they are more like if I had removed the clear silicone buffer from the last LED and stuck the raw light strip on the wall. If these were my only issues, I might’ve given the LED 5 star because these are solely my expectations falling flat (but wait, there’s more).2. My biggest issue is that the compatible Govee app for the lights to change color is not consistent. For one, I signed into the app and I was able to confirm the lights functioned. The second time I went into the app later, it had a difficult time connecting DESPITE me sitting directly next to the light hub. This was really irritating, though I believe the issue was due to WiFi (which is recommended to support the Bluetooth use but should not need to be necessary, nor should I need to fill out the WiFi name and password in the app, it should’ve been coded so that it could pull WiFi from the phone like any other app). My next issue had to be with the DIY aspect (first world problem I know), but there is a page in the app that you can create your own blend or flashy color pattern. This area feels as if it’s lacking because when I make a red and burnt orange fade, it turns into a red pink white orange yellow fade with a harsh reset back to red; thus making this supposed to be neat feature useless unless I intend to expand my color range or do a strobe effect instead. I think if they spent a little more time trying to perfect the light controls rather then create an in app social media platform alongside it, the app could be astronomically better. (That said I would recommend also reading the Govee Home light app reviews before purchasing if you are on the fence about this purchase to see if it is right for you). Additionally in order to use the Alexa function, you have to connect it to your Amazon account through the Govee Home app, or use a smart plug.Though this is not to say this was a total waste of my money. The lights work quite well, and I was able to make them fit to the room as I had needed. Unlike with cheaper models of LED like the last set I had, with the app I am able to dim the lights from a range of 1-100% rather then 5-10 dimmable options. I am also able to choose any variety of color easily with a color wheel (or even a “mood wheel” or color pallet). There are even a few preset “scenic” options that are not available for cheaper LED brands.All in all, it wasn’t what I had expected, I wish it was better for the money paid, but it’s still a good product.

Govee products are fantastic

I have lots of Govee products. Humity and temperature sensors, water leakage sensors, refrigerator and freezer temp.sensors and now Govee strip lights. Like their sensors, the lights are of great quality. Set up is a breeze. Instantly connects to my Wi-Fi, and links to Alexa without me doing a thing.The lights are bright, adhesive provided is perfect, the app is good, the color selection is fabulous and the overall look is amazing. You may pay a little more for the name but you get what you pay for. Highly recommended!!Ver más
