Govee LED TV Backlights, WiFi Strip Lights With Camera, Compatible With Alexa, APP Control, RGBIC Music Sync, Ambient Bias Lighting for 55-65 Inch TVs, Calibrate on APP

After some digging and [we'll call it] research on Bias lighting/reactive LED options, I decided to give this set a shot. The reviews are overall pretty solid, and the handful of YouTube videos were helpful.What I likeFor price point, these lights 100% do the trick. I was looking for a set that were going to react to what is being seen on the TV. This camera approach was something I hadn't seen before, and it works pretty well! Not to mention, they're pretty bright (for being up against a dark green wall).I liked having everything I needed included in the box (minus a tape measure, but let's be honest... you should have a tape measure by now).As of now, I can say that the app is working just fine so far, no issue. I love the ability to turn them on/off over your wifi, these are "smart" anyway.Honestly, it works!Overall, I dont regret this purchase at all. The backlighting is definitely a cool addition to our viewing experiences, and I plan trying another set for the upstairs TV too.What needs improvedI have nothing to compare these to at this time, so the following may be due to quality at this price, I'm not sure;The colors the LEDs are putting out are sometimes random. The camera relays the colors its seeing from 5 pivot points from the calibration, but sometimes it projects a color that's not prominent on the screen. For example, if there was a shot of a beach, half blue sky half beach, and there is a red beach umbrella somewhere in the shot, the camera might throw a good bit of red out since that's what its seeing. I wonder if there is a way in the preferences to just have the colors closer to the outside edges to be displayed more than other, not prominent colors.Along the same lines, I'm not a fan of how the lights project white when the screen goes dark/black. I feel like, under the display match setting, they should dim/fade out!The adhesive on the LED strips themselves are pretty good, but the corners pop off due to the cables (there is coiled wiring at the 90* angles, which is pretty smart but they pull on the adhered strip). HOWEVER, this kit did include some additional 3M "clips", that provided extra support, so that definitely makes up for the strips themselves.The USB cable from the camera is slightly short. if it was maybe an extra 6 inches, it would have been perfect. Since this goes to the converter box, which also needs to attach to the end of the LED strip, it would have been ideal to have a little wiggle room (for the larger TVs). I made it work, thanks to those additional clips to keep it all attached.There is the SLIGHTEST lag of color change from screen to lights, but I think that's normal considering you're utilizing a camera/converter combo... aka, theres a lot going on in this setup, so minor delay may be expected.If anyone has some suggestions on ways to improve the above items, let me know! I'm still learning myselfIf you want to give bias lighting a chance, I recommend this set. There are a ton of other options that I havent even looking into yet (continuous backlighting of same color, timers, other settings/environments).If you're on the fence, tries these out.

Initially the 2 kits I purchased would not pair with either an android or Apple device. I was unable to find any articles online about how to fix it. I opened a case with Govee using their phone application and they got back to me really quickly with the instructions on how to reset the kit to make it work. I will list the instructions below for anyone having the same issue.The lights are easy to install, the calibration is pretty easy, and the result is a very nice bias lighting for the TV. The Music setting really caught my son's attention and I got the rare "THAT'S COOL DAD!" from him.The symptoms were that I could see the Govee controller in my phone bluetooth menu (shows up as BLEU003) but the app does not see the kit when you scan for new devices.From Govee, here are the steps to fix this. I did this for both kits and it worked instantly:1. Enable a phone hot spot as a test-WiFi:iPhone: go to General-About - Name, set the Name: iHoment_test1 (Comment, case sensitive)Enable personal hotspot and set password: 1234567890Android: enable a phone hotspot and set SSID: iHoment_test1 (Comment, case sensitive)Password: 12345678902. Connect all 3 parts correctly (strip/black box/camera), if you have installed it already , please unplug the LED strip first, then unplug the box from power, then plug the LED strip back in.3. Open a music app and play music within 10cm distance of the device and then plug the box into power. After the device is powered on, it will display Red-Green-Blue-White (on the full led strip). After 1-2 seconds, the full LED strip will turn off and then the first segment of LEDs will light up 15 LEDs. The first 15 LEDs will slowly start to turn to Green, wait until all 15 LEDs turn Green, then turn off your mobile hotspot, and unplug the Govee box. Once you plug it back in and it reboots, you should be able to see and add your kit into the application.The first time I tried this I had the issue below:1). After the Red-Green-Blue-White sequence on bootup, the whole LED strip stayed White. I checked the Personal Hotspot settings on the phone and found I had not matched the letter case in the name. I corrected the name and ran through the process a second time and everything worked.Govee also had troubleshooting steps for these issues as well, but I did not encounter these:2).Some of the 15 lights are showing red, and some are green, please check if the camera is set up correctly, and volume up the music; after that, unplug the device and re-plug it again.3) .The light is not ON after power is on: Please check whether the installation is correct(The strip light must be plugged into the LED port, the camera into the CAM port.
