    Thank you :) Literally saved me like 200 bucks (hue cough cough)
    Things to note when setting up:
    after you set them up on your phone and connect your wifi , You have to disconnect the bluetooth for the LAN option to work.
    I also have to restart the govee PC app , When done correctly, your wifi icon will go from red to blue on the PC app.

    Hey James! Found your channel from watching Dave's lights. I was able to follow your videos and get them installed successfully. But, this is what I'm wanting to do.... I'm wanting the lights to show ambient light while driving but as soon as a flag gets displayed, I would like for my govee lights to flash the flag colors. Do you know if this is possible? If so, would you be able to help show how to configure it? Thanks again!

      You can only sample colors from the main screen. Which has been said by simhub creator. Using all three screens would be very taxing on Simhub and not inefficient.

    Weird thing is that my SimHub don't show my triple screen there even when I use Nvidia surround and also choose NV surround in Simhub to set up my Govee light bar. Simhub pick up only one screen for me. And also it shows old display pic on it which I changed already 3 weeks ago. So I don't know how SimHub took this old " screenshot ".

      As for the h6056 there are two versions of the same hardware number. If anyone has issues with their lights not getting the lan option under settings, they have the new version and they don’t plan to release the firmware for them to have full functionality until January. Bit of a fail on govees part if you ask me.
