Very decent detailed review. That is the pro. The con is...you are a consumer. You should have had a wall strip of both next to each other. Not one on the back of your monitor and one on your wall in a much longer strip with the ability to actually see the strip and not behind a physical monitor. Still, great stuff!

The Govee music sync box is a must have if you own more than one of their light products if music sync is important to you....using music sync modes independently on each lighting system at the same is literally no match for what you can achieve using the sync box.

I'm personally waiting for Govee or any other manufacturer to incorporate true individually-addressable LEDs (not just segmented control) into their app, so that if I have 300 lights, I can control each LED as is done via Arduino. The Novostella is nice but I'm sticking with Govee for now. Great channel - just subscribed.

Thanks for watching! And agree, mass produced individual addressable LEDs would set the industry on fire

i wanted to buy govee light strips, but because of Your vid i noticed that Novostella could be better purchase. Why? I love dancing to hard trance music and thus i want to decorate my room with fierce lights *.*

I use seven Govee light systems at the same time in the same room with that type of music....using the Govee sync box you will achieve what you're looking for....the Novostella doesn't come close.

@@MrTekSuggest I used to use IFTTT but I've been able to replace everything with Home Assistant. I would suggest checking out the Home Assistant web page first. The drzzs or digiblur youtube channels are great to get an idea of things you can do. A minimal setup would be a Raspberry Pi 4 starter kit and upgrade to an external SSD.

@MrTekSuggest3 жыл бұрын
Appreciate it! Love these kinds of comments. The clock is called the echo spot, but it has unfortunately been discontinued. You may have luck picking one up on eBay, however! The echo show 5 is also a cheaper alternative that’s available now, but the footprint is a little larger.

About Govee and cutting them along the marking it worked for me. Maybe we don't have the same product, but I have Govee Dreamcolor RGBIC under my daughter's bed, and she accidentally broke one of the LEDs (pulled something out from underneath the bed and literally scratched across LED and broke it, I could never think that is possible). if that was at the end of the strip, no probs, end is at wall side of the bed, but the problem was that the segment that broke was in front, so the rest of the strip didn't work. I thought "heh, it's broken, I have nothing to lose" and cut it at marking, ran 3 wires to the next marking, connected it, and it worked. like I said, maybe it's not the same product or maybe I had luck, but in my case, cutting strip and reconnecting it worked.
@MrTekSuggest3 жыл бұрын
That is a very fascinating story. And well done. I have not actually tried physically cutting an RGBIC strip from Govee, simply because Govee advises against it. But it is good to have this information in my back pocket. Many thanks
@JM_psyike3 жыл бұрын
@@MrTekSuggest no problems, thank you for your videos! And about cutting Govee, I would not do that either if the strip was working, but as damage was done at 80cm from start, and the rest 4.2 meter was dead, I was like "why not, it's broken anyways" :D
