I wish Govee would make an actual Syncbox alternative though rather than camera based systems. I dont know why but the camera on top of the screen really irritates me and ruins the whole set up to the point I cant have one. I would love an actual box that does it
@@TwanJaarsveld1 I have have the Govee Flow Pro Bars camera on the bottom of the screen but it’s hidden behind the Center Speaker of the surround sound system.
It's a shame it can't go at the bottom of the screen.With the explosion of WFH cameras and bars (Poly P15 for example), space at the top and center of monitors is at a premium these days.
@@Oreonis I can't see any info on that update. As Paul Hibbert says in his video, it has to go at the top of the screen. Also, on page 3 of the manual (cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0512/3489/8105/files/B604A.pdf?v=1640077723) it still states "Ensure the camera is positioned at the top-center of the screen". It'll be great if this can be resolved with a software update, but at the moment that doesn't appear to be the case.
@@Oreonis well assuming that's the case, that's great news. It's weird that Paul explicitly calls that out at 10:05 as a feature that's only available in the old model, but not this one, and so does the installation manual. Perhaps they've updated it in the last couple of days?
I have been using a DIY ambilight solution on my TV, Hyperion. You run it from a Raspberry Pi, an HDMI switch amongst other bits. I'm very glad I put the extra effort in to DIY it rather than the out of the box Govee camera based system that I was considering at the time. I highly recommend it for the level of customisation and with the current version I think you have the choice of whether you want a camera based system or an HDMI feed. I don't recommend unless you're happy to do a lot of tinkering to get it working. It works with Home Assistant, I have 2 profiles set up, one for when the TV is in it's normal position facing the living room and one for when the TV is turned towards the kitchen (detected with a door sensor) to dim the lights on the side which are now closer to the wall, so it is less harshly backlit.
I love Govee's new products and prebuilt effects and their price is very attractive. But I still can't justify replacing my whole house from Hue to Govee because hue uses a bridge and the lights are a lot more responsive. I have one room that's Govee and it's just not the same experience as my Hue rooms, also having a lot of Govee lights would be a big burden on my router. I wish they develop a bridge or fingers crossed Matter makes them more responsive. Thoughts?
After writing this comment I realize Paul already addressed this multiple times and is one of his pet peeves lol Oh well, just my personal experience. There are some other options that use Zigbee or some sort of private mesh network like Lifx uses. All that being said, I wish I switched to Lifx before getting 30 bulbs deep into Hue lol.
If you reach goove support service, they sent you a new control box to use with an old (compatible) product, so you can update the software and sync your lights.
I have the Govee Camera and lights installed on a 65 inch TV and I have the Phillips hue sync box installed on a 70 inch TV. I don’t think either product has anything to worry about. They’re both good but, I do like The Phillips hue sync box much better. However, on the GOVEE system. If you lose Internet connection the lights will continue to sync to where the Phillips HDMI Sync box will not. There’s pros and cons to each of them.
About those complains regarding Hue Play sync box: you need to remember that TV can handle only 3 CEC "playback" type devices - and that's how most devices are being introduced to your tv. So you might need to disable CEC on some of them.
It actually does work with the old ones just fine. I have the H6199 . The main problem with the sync centre I found is that it disables the ability to us the API to turn them on in HA. once you turn them on you can use the API to trurn them off using an automation.
Govee needs to take the kit they are using for computer monitors and upsize it for TVs at least up to 65". The gaming kit won't fit most monitors anyway. I'd rather put the light rope type setup on my TV than just a plain LED strip. I'm stuck at the moment because as soon as I buy the current TV kit they will come out with an improved kit similar to the gaming one.
Another thing to note about Govee is that their customer service is awesome. If you use their forum, you can get free things, along with participating in events.
Also the fact that Govee played with the listing and the listing has 17k reviews for an item released just recently with reviews for older generation items (completely different item) from 2 years ago and more is a telltale sign of how good and still how bad the company is. Why Govee, Why?
My "older" camera with the 2nd generation box supports DreamView and I love it. But I bought the 65ft RGBIC light strips to go around all the corners of my living room ceiling, but the problem is the light strip advertises itself as 1 strip (just like your standing lamp does) but there are 2 separate strips of RGBIC lights that extend out from their central power source box. And the area mapping applies to both strips equally in their same respective spot down the strip. So the area mapping doesn't work at all. Half the room is perfect and the other half just mirrors that effect and doesn't correspond to the side of the TV it should be mimicking. You've got the ability to tug on Govee's ear, can you tell them to go back to the drawing board for their area mapping on certain devices? The light bars advertise as 1 strip like your standing lamp, but they divide the strip down the middle for half the spots controlling one bar and he other half the other bar. They need to apply the same logic to their RGBIC strips that have one central power source feeding multiple strips. I Subscribed to your channel in hopes this persuades you to pass on my suggestions to your contact at Govee 😁
I have to say your dedication to the smart home seems to become stronger as time goes on where I am pushing further and further away from all of this craziness.
Funny. I started writing this before you threatened us with a fish slapping. I like Govee, thanks to you I have a number of their devices around the house and am happy with them. But then there's the camara. No thanks. I've used both Govee and the Lytmi Sync Boxes (also thanks to you) and I had a phillips ambilight tv. I love the Lytmi - there is no lag in color change. Unfortunately, after a while, its very noticeable with the Govee - because it uses a CAM!. Anyway, IMHO the Lytmi is so much superior to the Govee Sync Box I'm willing to forgo syncing up all my devices. Thanks Paul.
Oh good lawd it makes me sad that I laugh at that joke, every single time you do it. I'll be honest I completely forgot about it and wasn't even completely paying attention to the video. But then I heard it and it made me chuckle(I always think of little John the bear from the Robin hood movie when I see the word chuckling, a hearty guttural giggle that makes your head bobble). I appreciate the commitment to your continued bit. 🥰
Since I already got fish-slapped, here’s another master bate: When the tv is off and it’s in a bright living room, it’s highly reflective. You’re basically having a connected camera in your leaving room kinda seeing vague silluetts of me master bating. I’ll just do myself, thank you very much: 🐟💥
they surely need to expand their market to general tech shops in norway, we dont buy much diretcly we like to keep it within our own company's due to our very strict customer protection laws.
a) I have already webcam on top of monitor, b) my monitor is 49 inches widescreen, c) I am using hue sync - will never have a problem with any HDMI compatibility. Simple.
Kind of wish I had this before I built my home-brew kit using Hyperion-NG. Hyperion is pretty good and it can use HDMI input or it can use a WebCam, but this system does have a bit more functionality, but I admit I am always cautious about the camera. Does this system require an internet connection, or will it work normally without internet?
Advantages to both for sure. You will always get more accuracy out of a hdmi sync box and less fuss over how you light your room and how that might impact on the camera.
Hyperios is massive over this. More power to you. This is easy to use, reset whatever but the core functionality is just not there. The syncs are nothing like the synbox. For a person that's used to HD content will have a hard time watching pixelated sd content similarly, sync box users will be frustrated with the accuracy of this. If only they improved the camera quality and
*ROFL* Oh Gods, Paul. Please don't ever stop. You make my Saturday afternoon a whole lot of fun (besides the fact it's a Saturday, anyway). But now bring in the 'dead trout meme'? Bloody hilarious!
the movie watching dreamview works for me and I just have a bunch of bulbs and one light strip synced to the camera and light bars that I got for like $40 on prime day. Works great
Merci pour la vidéo. Avez-vous fait des mesures des caractéristiques ? Quelles sont vos sources fiables qui justifient vôtre point de vue ? Je cherche des points négatif sur Philips, pouvez-vous m'aider ?
Hi Paul, once again you made me spit my morning coffee on my wife but I have a request. Would you mind doing a review on the Hue outdoor lights (Lily)? Bought some this year at a good price but the jury is still out on this one.
I have to give you props for the fish. Until you threw the fish, I always thought the room was the background. I didnt realize it was green screened behind you. Does that save on cleaning? I thought of doing a "blues clues" apartment background, just so I wouldn't have to clean.
So are there just regular (e27/e14) bulbs for the govee ecosystem? That work with the dreamview external light thing? I see they used to make bulbs but they don't seem to sell them anymore.
Paul. I'm afraid to say govee dreamview t1 on some setups are a really pain in the @ss to calibrate. I spent like 3hours to calibrate on living room and get decent results. If the help: - brightness between 20-30% - saturation 15% - Wb near the T from reset
If it had a hub and worked with HomeKit my house would be full of govee products……. Price is great and seems like decent quality but I’m concerned with the WiFi being impacted by the multiple connections
Nice... but im sticking with hue.. i dont like the camera principle at all.. Not that its a bad product.. i just dont feel the camera thing because i feel there is bound to be delays and small errrrrrors.. and my ocd my brain doesn't want that.. 🙈
So what’s the go-to now? I liked the look of the Lytmi apart from the singular input… those strips on the govee look like they plug straight in, so fixed length?
I wish Govee TV backlight could turn on when TV turns on. I forget to use it 99% of the time. I like the backlight but going to app to turn it on or off every time sucks and I end up never doing it. Though I guess I could create a routine in home assistant to watch the TV status. More things to do now! Why can’t you put it on a large monitor? I have the old version on my 85” TV even though it says only 65”. I just have a Gap at bottom which is blocked by my sound bar anyways. Block the bottom where your desk reduces the benefit.
It is really funny because I just bought the tv backlight 2 days ago and have got the p1 bars and neon tv backlight and I agree with you it is an amazing product, you always make crazy funny videos, keep up all the good work and like if you think he is the best 👍🏻
You can but it requires a splitter. You essentially split the signal so that one side goes to the sync box and one goes directly to the tv. Not ideal at all but can be done!
I do agree with Bezos this episode, there are not enough yachts, I wonder if there will ever be enough, I am on the edge of my seat every episode, I hope this series gets renewed for another season
1 comment 1 question. First comment, will not buy until next version where you can put on the bottom. This is how I have my TV setup and do not want that bulky cam on top of monitor. Second question, is there a simple way to see what other Govee devices are actually compatible with dreamview? Putting the G1 aside, even for the TV, which bulbs, strips, lamps, etc work with the immersion kit. TY
Not sure I agree with you regarding having the system show up in the app for the old system and saying it’s not compatible. It gives certainty, rather than the system not showing up and the user thinking that the reason it’s not showing up is because they’re doing something wrong. 💙🙃

Likewise. Here's hoping we get more 240v ZigBee bulbs in Aus. Right now we only really seem to have Phillips and IKEA and... They both suck. 🤣
Same here. I have my dinner and watch this. I'm really glad to know I'm not the only one from Oz here! 😃

Thanks mate! ❤️👍
Hello Paul from across the big pond another great video sir always entertaining and informative. Thank you very much for your hard work.
Great vid and looks like a cool product. Shame they don't have anything for TVs under 55".
I've just bought the 55" version that (I hope) to use on my son's bedroom 49" TV. I'm just hoping that 6" doesn't cause too much pain.
Nope, too big ;)
@@RotmmDesign thanks fire the update. I'll pass on our until they produce I've to fit a 49" TV

You got baited, by the master!!!

Been looking at these for a while now, glad you reviewed them, next thing on my list to buy then! 👍🏼

Govee needs to get rid of the camera and do a direct HDMI box like lytmi neo (which is awesome BTW)
they surely need to expand their market to general tech shops in norway, we dont buy much diretcly we like to keep it within our own company's due to our very strict customer protection laws.

Happy Saturday Paul! Thanks.
I have to give you props for the fish. Until you threw the fish, I always thought the room was the background. I didnt realize it was green screened behind you. Does that save on cleaning? I thought of doing a "blues clues" apartment background, just so I wouldn't have to clean.
I challenge you to incorporate this into an xmas display in your front yard....

Loved the 🐠 slapping.
You visited Whitby. Lovely place.
Go try add the hole stip to a 65 inch tv and try it lol hope works better full stip all round 😘🥰😁
Govee is absolutely amazing and have products sold at a reasonable price. CAN’T BELIEVE YOUR 1K AWAY FROM 200K!
Final space fan? You my man are a gentleman of fine taste
I had an issue with my govee lights. They shipped me a new one. Good service.
with that group photo you could start your own tv show
I've got the 75-85 tv kit. It's not perfect in my setup (some issues with color reproduction and tends towards set) but still incredibly impressive.
Props for the old school "slapping bass" reference
the new ones have 2 camera's for large tv's and claims it is faster and more accurate. I would like to see a review of the 2nd edition.
CONGRATS ON 200,000 SUBS MY DUDE!
I got that EXACT same fish, so I now know its true purpose, thanks Paul!
Is there a way to get a similar effect with a projector?
Came here to ask the same!
Another great video but I still don't understand the need for flashing lights.
Morning! Still hate the camera. My webcam is in that postion. Mounting it on the lower end would that be an option? (Send from behind my bbq)
🐟💥
Great I just bought the last immersion kit... Still I'm very happy with it. Although the new light bars are beautiful
So are there just regular (e27/e14) bulbs for the govee ecosystem? That work with the dreamview external light thing? I see they used to make bulbs but they don't seem to sell them anymore.
'Santa Tripping Balls' will be my new rock band name.
Paul. I'm afraid to say govee dreamview t1 on some setups are a really pain in the @ss to calibrate. I spent like 3hours to calibrate on living room and get decent results.
If the help:
- brightness between 20-30%
- saturation 15%
- Wb near the T from reset
If it had a hub and worked with HomeKit my house would be full of govee products……. Price is great and seems like decent quality but I’m concerned with the WiFi being impacted by the multiple connections
Okay hear me out. How about they use a camera AND HDMI and have the ability to switch between them.
As long as you still need the cloud it's a no go
Huge govee fan, but I have a 43 inch monitor! They support the small monitors and big tvs.... but what about the middle man.
I love my Govee gear, but... I wish the camera tech worked better with curved monitors.
My RGB equipment is interfering with the camera, so I cant use their Sync System. I would buy a HDMI Sync Box in a heartbeat if they would release one
Ambilight doesn't work so well if there's normal daylight in the room, works best in darkness
Are they ever going to consider supporting more sensible TV sizes? 49" is fine for my living room but they don't want my money, I guess!?
Oh yer and the camera? Slap me Paul, if you can find a nested comment 6 days late, ha ha ha.
Nice... but im sticking with hue.. i dont like the camera principle at all.. Not that its a bad product.. i just dont feel the camera thing because i feel there is bound to be delays and small errrrrrors.. and my ocd my brain doesn't want that.. 🙈
So what’s the go-to now? I liked the look of the Lytmi apart from the singular input… those strips on the govee look like they plug straight in, so fixed length?
5:15 is the best part of this or any Paul Hibbert production.
It is probably the best thing I've ever done to be fair. 🤣
Seriously agree, kills me Paul doesn't have 50x the subs!
What's the difference between Govee Dreamview and Immersion kits for TV? Was this just a rebranding exercise?
Hope you enjoy that camera on top of your TV… make sure you tell people it’s so you can watch VR in 3D
You can only add 5 additional lights to one sync box. Not 20... hopefully he corrects this statement
The app will stop you at 5 additional lights.
I wish Govee TV backlight could turn on when TV turns on. I forget to use it 99% of the time. I like the backlight but going to app to turn it on or off every time sucks and I end up never doing it.
Though I guess I could create a routine in home assistant to watch the TV status. More things to do now!
Why can’t you put it on a large monitor? I have the old version on my 85” TV even though it says only 65”. I just have a
Gap at bottom which is blocked by my sound bar anyways. Block the bottom where your desk reduces the benefit.
It is really funny because I just bought the tv backlight 2 days ago and have got the p1 bars and neon tv backlight and I agree with you it is an amazing product, you always make crazy funny videos, keep up all the good work and like if you think he is the best 👍🏻
You forgot that there are no sync boxes out there that can cope with HDMI 2.1, so can't be used with my Xbox or PlayStation 5
You can but it requires a splitter. You essentially split the signal so that one side goes to the sync box and one goes directly to the tv. Not ideal at all but can be done!
Where did you get that test pattern to test the lights?
32" maximum is a dealbreaker, really a shame, such a great product. getting the P1 instead
Camera is definitely a deal breaker. Please don't hit me with a fish!
I do agree with Bezos this episode, there are not enough yachts, I wonder if there will ever be enough, I am on the edge of my seat every episode, I hope this series gets renewed for another season
What's the name of the video you're showing on your monitor to showcase the lights?
I CANT BELIEVE YOUR AT 200K!
1 comment 1 question. First comment, will not buy until next version where you can put on the bottom. This is how I have my TV setup and do not want that bulky cam on top of monitor. Second question, is there a simple way to see what other Govee devices are actually compatible with dreamview? Putting the G1 aside, even for the TV, which bulbs, strips, lamps, etc work with the immersion kit. TY
Can they just make a hdmi box version I don’t want a camera till then I can’t retire the Hyperion diy setup
🐟💥
would love to you attempt to put the tv version of the camera under the tv.
Would this work with a projector setup?...
When/if you do the TV system review can you see if you can get it to work with your projector set up?
I am extremely interested, however my monitor is a 49 inch ultrawide. Do they have plans on including something for that sort of set up?
Not sure I agree with you regarding having the system show up in the app for the old system and saying it’s not compatible. It gives certainty, rather than the system not showing up and the user thinking that the reason it’s not showing up is because they’re doing something wrong. 💙🙃
