Sure would be nice if these guys would program their app to actually have holiday scenes. How about red and green for xmas, red white and blue for july 4th or maybe like purple orange and green for halloween for example. This is where they failed and its such an easy thing for them to fix
These NOVASTELLA are pretty bright and have customizable "chasing" and multi-color functions....I had to sacrifice these awesome features of the NOVASTELLA lights on our Back screened porch, where I wanted BRIGHTER.....You can watch that video here: ruclips.net/video/KmvB8HxaWMs/видео.html I really like them BOTH! Hope this info helps. -Todd
Hi Todd! Quick question, wanting to put these around the front of my house, however it’s 3 different sections. Is there anyway to cut and splice a cable extension to the next set of led strips?
Hello Gil. No. These Novastella lights are not able to be spliced. I've used another brand on the Back screen. Those can't be splice either because I've found out that each section requires a direct-feed from the power. Otherwise, they will dim after an 80 ft. section.....down the line.
Is it possible to connect 200 feet which would be two purchases in one strand because I will be placing the main connector on the side of the house where the electricity boxes to cover the whole front of the house I do not want to place it in the middle and have two different strands
I just put these up under my soffit. It was pretty easy to do. Simply screw the clear clips about every 1.5. You can make a little bend at any corners you may have without damaging the LED strip.
Todd quick question. I just installed 60ft of led just about a hour ago before I discovered Nova stella. Do you know if I can keep these up ( 4 pin) and just connect the nova converter box? Basically 4pin to 4pin male and female-- Scratch that. The answer would be no. Number 1 the voltage regulator on mine is only 12v yours is 24v plus the 4pin connector is totally different.
Hi John, I hope I wasn't misleading. I considered them smarter due to the smartphone APP control and RF controller. I have a Yolink smart outlet that I am using to set a daily schedule to turn them off-and-on. This will allow alexa to turn off-and-on with the Yolink outlet. Thanks for watching. -Todd
Todd, if you were to hook it up to a smart outlet and set it to a specific scene when you turn it off and on will it stay with that scene or would it automatically revert back to a standard color? The reason I'm asking that's what the holiday season coming up I'm looking for someone cheaper basically set it and forget it solution.
Yes! They do retain the last scene you had them set to. That's how I'm using mine on a smart outlet schedule (daily) and they always return on to the same setting. So that's great! And then I'll just change the setting with each holiday season :) -Todd
@@twHomeShow Todd, although I know this isn't relevant to this video however could you do an in-depth video on the app that you use to integrate all your cameras and A1 Central app on your fire stick TV?
It is a "silicone" covering. The LED strip itself is NOT waterproof? The only thing that makes it waterproof is the silicone sleeve! Also, the only problem I forsee with this NEW, RGBIC technology is when "one" of the IC's (Independant Chips) go" kaput" (break down for short) the whole light strip will malfunction? Good luck hope they work long and well for you Thanks for the video
Hi Tood! Nice job… Tood need to ask some questions about yolink items how can i get in touch with you? It’s about to build a security system for my house…. Thanks
whow.... just got my lights today planning to do the entire house outside, am so excited
Awesome!
Great review!!
Thanks Desiree!
Thank you Todd.
Very informative thanks! Question : do you have the light strip facing outward? Or in towards the house?
Thank you! I faced the light strip OUTWARDS.
VERY COOL....AWESOME LOVE IT
Great video. Your floor lights that point to your palm trees on video frame 16:05 are they plugged in to separate transformer from led strip?
Yes. They are just 12v landscape lights. -Todd

AGREED 💯 percent!
Does that mean you can't manually do those colors for the holidays?
Thanks bro!! Nice video !!
Todd , what size of channel are you using?
I can't find a mode for Halloween - which one are you using?
Can these be wired to a switch? And will they retain the last setting without opening up the app to choose the correct color?
brightness, it seemed that the past lights were brighter? any update. Thank you'

looking to install that strip around my inground pool. Any recommendations on what kind of glue or adhesive to use?

No. Each string needs it's own power supply 😞
Any videos on putting these up around house by the gutters or under soffit?
I just put these up under my soffit. It was pretty easy to do. Simply screw the clear clips about every 1.5. You can make a little bend at any corners you may have without damaging the LED strip.
Hey Jacob Waddell would u have Facebook by chance?
Did you find any resolution to this issue? I’m having the same issue. Don’t have the options in lotus lantern and can’t get magic lantern to connect.
Where did you get the channel strip you used to place the light strip in?
What’s this song at the end

Todd, how easy are they to automate using Alexa?
