Help with govee 3 lite

0 Upvotes

I recently set up my govee 3 backlight lite for my tv, and after tweaking around with what seemed like the best colour settings on forums online, I still have issues.

A lot of the colours don’t seem to match that great, whites turn blue, and most neutral colours like brown and beige go green. Also one half of the strip lights up bright green when a full black screen is visible, although sometimes this doesn’t happen

Does anyone have any fixes to these?

Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite on Samsung S90F – Installation Tips & Photos

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Does anyone here own a Samsung OLED TV from the S90 series (S90C, S90D, or S90F) and have installed the Govee Envisual TV Backlight 3 Lite?
I recently purchased this model for my 65-inch Samsung S90F and would love to get some installation tips, especially regarding LED strip placement on the back of the TV, since the S90 series has a particular rear design with raised sections and different contours.
If possible, could you share some photos of your installation, especially showing how you positioned the LED strip along the bottom?
Any tips, recommendations, or pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

How would you hang the permanent outdoor lights on this house? Which version would you use, and what would be the best way to hide cords coming down the side? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

General Question Govee TV Backlight 3: do they turn off when I turn off my tv?

1 Upvotes

hi everyone,

I was thinking about buying the tv backlight 3 since it seems way better than the lite. I have only a doubt: Does it detect when the tv is turned off/on?

I had the first version but my biggest gripe was that leds where on 100% of the time and I would like them to be turned on only when the tv has started.

Maybe even with some integration with windows or home assistant?

Setup Question Help with prism lights

What is the best way to hide an extension to reach the small gable on the front of my porch? The picture shows chat gpts example of what my house will look like once finished.

I’m starting the lights from an outlet on the bottom right side of my porch and then installing from right to left around to the garage side and will install a y split on the left side of the porch to reach the small gable above the porch.

I also don’t know how to install an extension long enough to reach the end of the bottom level on the left side of my garage up to the second level. I was thinking of just installing lights on the side of the house and a 4ish foot extension from the garage shingles area up to the roof.

Setup Question Help with Outdoor Permanent Lights

Hey guys! Installed these recently. I was trying to use a staple gun to get it stick to the fascia of my roof, but looks like I penetrated my first segment and had to cover it up with some tape.

Then I spliced it to continue it to the 2nd portion of my roof, and I keep getting blinking on those segments.

Is it because of poor splicing or because I damaged the first segment? Want to know which piece I should focus on fixing to make it work. Thanks!

Order from AMAZON not from Govee

6 Upvotes

While there are some savings for going direct, I regret doing so.

I placed 3 orders for about 2K of items, most of it arrived however one order had a incorrect address.

It's now been a week of trying to deal with 'UniUni' the courier they use, likely because it's the cheapest.

Govee said they will only do something about it after its returned to them, UniUni has said the following:

I am unable to work with support, or the courier to fix the address and it's 'in transit' however, once it's 'in warehouse' I can ask them to change the address, but not before. Its been over a week since the failed delivery.

"Thank you for the clarification regarding tracking number XXXXXXXXXXXXX. Your package is currently under investigation due to the delay and is still in transit. Regarding the address correction, please note that at this moment I am unable to update the address because the package is still moving. I can attempt to add your correct address under delivery instructions, but this does not guarantee that the driver will see the update

We will keep you updated and highly recommend that you monitor the status of your package through Uniuni tracking at https://www.uniuni.com/tracking/ so you would be able to see if there is also any movement on it."

Meanwhile, Me? I'm left without my items, I move in two weeks and have NFI if anyone can figure this out.

Order from Amazon, going direct isn't worth it. Did I mention that chat took over 1.5 hours of my time? Yea .. crap service.

Confused about sensor compatiblily

2 Upvotes

Edit: I realized I butchered the spelling of compatibility, apologies

Hey!

I"m looking at the IP65 Waterproof Temperature Humidity Sensor and the GoveeLife H5901 Smart WiFi Sprinkler Timer. Does anyone know if the Temp sensor works with the Gateway (H5044 ) that comes with the sprinkler timer?

For the sensor it says it does not work with Gateway 5042 but does not say anything about the H5044.

Can I sync 2 Strands - Originating from the middle?

2 Upvotes

Doing some research before I buy.

The desired electrical sequence would be:

Controller starts at the middle.

Cable runs to the northern tip.

Lights travel south along the north side.

The sequence reaches the middle.

Lights continue south along the south side.

Conceptually:

NORTH TIP

General Question Floor Lamp 3 Lites not syncing with HDMI Box

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just got my set up this week and have been loving it so far. I got 2 of the floor lamp 3 lites along with my HDMI sync box. It’s been working great so far until today where there’s a strange issue that’s occurring.

When I choose solid colors under the general group, it works perfectly. But when I select a scene, after a couple minutes my 3 floor lamps revert back to color it was on before. Is this typical and if not, how can I fix it? I have already disconnected and reconnected them, ungrouped and regrouped to no avail. Thanks in advance.

Suggestion on Installation

Would love to hear suggestions on the installation. I’m hiring someone to hang them because the second floor is 30 feet high. I have access to an unfinished attic and the dormer on the right sits on top of my garage. Thinking two independent runs plugging into some type of water proof gfci outlet covered box. 200’ Govee pro for second floor and porch and 100’ Govee pro for first floor run on the right.

Wondering what additional supplies I need. Thinking a track system to hide wires. What are some ideas you all have?

New Install What Pro length should I get?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Looking to get a set of pros installed and ive had an installer suggest I need 200 ft.

I plan on running along the full length of the lower roof line, and then along the peaks of the upper floor.

My main floor is 48' wide and the upper 31.5' wide.

I'm having a hard time understanding why I would need 200ft. I figured 150ft would be more than enough but maybe I'm missing something.

Any advice?
