Neat but needs more data-driven / dynamic behavior

I was excited to get the pixel light but out of the box had an issue that prevented it from connecting to wi-fi (on 2.4Ghz). That was sorted after a couple days of tinkering and support inquiries. Now that I'm up and running with it, it's novelty is waning. I was hoping for better integrations or even a companion app for Mac that give me more configurability over the display.
I have effectively settled on date/time/weather which is great but not very exciting.

We have fixed the issue where the device cannot connect to WiFi. You can try to connect again. If the problem persists, please contact us for resolution.
I don't think I've ever seen a consumer product like this with so many bugs. Everything is updated, the light is the latest firmware, iOS Govee app is the latest version, iOS has been updated--it's even on the latest model iPhone. I can't even begin to list all the weird bugs I've run across--failed saves, scenes not working, playlists failing, some scenes within playlists don't play for the specified duration or even at all... Seriously, this is just a mess of a product. Cannot recommend.

Dear customer,
Sorry for the inconvenience you've experienced.

Works very well. Easy to get gifs off of Pinterest and upload to the device. I wish you could have more than 20 gifs in a playlist though
I would recommend this to a friend!

It will not connect to any Wifi for the love of gods. I tried connecting it on multiple devices, but I could not connect to any. Hope it will get fix soon.

May I ask if you are currently using a 2.4GHz network? If your router supports dual-band frequencies, please temporarily disable the 5GHz band before attempting the initial connection.
Additionally, we recommend resetting the light to see if this resolves the issue. To reset, please use a toothpick or paperclip to gently press the reset button located in the hole on the back of the device.
If possible, could you also try connecting the device using your phone’s hotspot to determine if the issue persists?
We appreciate your patience and cooperation. Please let us know the results, and feel free to reach out if you need further assistance.
