I love the lights. They work great. Two things:
1.) The adhesive on the double stick tape for the hold downs seems a bit weak. Not a big deal.
2.) I use Home Assistant with Govee2MQTT and for most functions it works great. The only thing it lacks is that I would like to create an automation that turns on the Video mode and Dream Mapper whenever a movie starts and I have everything but that option open to me on the API. Once you get that worked out, I might not really have to use the Govee app and just let Home Assistant do everything for me.
I used to run concert lights and sound. These lights are as controllable as I like with that and the choices in scenes is great. Govee is my go-to whenever I want this kind of stuff.
Overall it's OK but disappointed 1. Was disappointed to find the LED strips were not long enough to go fully around my 65 inch TV, there is no light in the corners. 2. It's a pain to setup, I had to run the calibration 20+ times to finally get it right. Then had to watch numerous YouTube videos on how to get the relative brightness, saturation, and white balance correct to have it actually work. After at least 2 hours I had it recognizing the colors correctly and looks cool, but the dark corners are still annoying.
