@@marinopascal1970 POE is not required and this unit come with a regular electrical cord so you should be good to go with the unit out of the box.

@@kxfjerry9087 Each X-50 needs its own POE connection coming from a POE switch or a POE injector. I find the Switch to be the best solution for most use cases. TP-Link makes several POE switches to choose from.

@@jessehjensen Would this be different than a wired backhaul setup?

@@kxfjerry9087 the wired back haul function is using ethernet to provide connectivity to the Deco as opposed to using the mesh wireless connectivity between Deco’s. The POE option could be used to just power the Deco and still use mesh wireless technology to connect each deco together back to the router preferably you would use the ethernet cable to provide POE and also carry the data through the wired backhaul all in one cable. That’s the most efficient and fastest method, one cable that would perform both functions. If you had one main ethernet run to a central location of where your Deco’s would be then place your POE switch in that central location and make your runs out to each X - 50, that would probably be the best option but I’m making a generalized statement not knowing your specific layout and configuration.

@@jessehjensen Thank you. Very informative.

@@edilhernandez5153open the app and make sure you’re on the “color” section. Then change from “while light management” to “segment management”. From there you can select each light independently and change its color. HTH

@@CassandraSmelser usually you will want to install that POE switch near your router but realistically you could put it anywhere that’s convenient for your situation. Mine is located right by my main switch and that’s the most convenient for me but as long as you have a hard wired (Ethernet) connection going from your router to that POE switch than it will work. I’ll see if I can throw together a quick video on connecting that POE switch into your network.

@@manojraut71 Great idea, I’ll get one going. Thanks

@@josephkelly1067 yes, to the outer parts of the inside of the home. You should also use inside AP’s along with this outdoor unit.

@@josephkelly1067 the AX3000 has powerful large antennas so it will provide coverage to the outer parts of the interior of a home. Your best option is to couple this outdoor AP with an indoor AP (or multiple AP’s) for maximum coverage.

@@LD-mj3ue yes it will. I haven’t had any troubles with my deco systems and the wavlink AP. You won’t be able to manage the wavlink from the deco app but I haven’t found that to be an issue.

@@DerekFletcher1 thanks for the positive feedback. I’m glad you found this useful and good luck with your upcoming winter.

@@matomerah Signal will be less if have too many wall like within cities. It can connect up to 100 devices.

@@ian101ish ok noted, I'm comparing with grandstream gwn766 because got similiar price right now

@@matomerah for my property I did my testing at distances up to 100 meters and still maintained maximum internet speeds which is 300 mb down and 20 mb up for my connection. Anything in the way of line of site will attenuate the signal. Hope that helps.

@@jmurg42 it’s held up great, I haven’t had any issues. Just keep in mind that they are weather proof not water proof, they can’t be submerged in water.

That’s why I stick to Tech!

I agree, I’m proud to be an American and so grateful for those that sacrificed for us!!!

My yard is about an acre in size and with one AP in the front and one in the back I have solid coverage.

You can use these AP’s without any other deco devices (stand alone). You just need a POE switch if you plan on powering them via POE or you can use the included power cable if you have a power plug near by.

You are correct. An AC connection required for each section. I agree that there should be a way to utilize USB to minimize cords.

Thanks for watching. I have really enjoyed these outdoor AP units and they have been rock solid. The second ethernet port is for data purposes only and no power is transmitted out via that port. It’s really there to provide a data connection to a nic whether that be another switch connecting a separate part of your home, or just a computer that doesn’t have Wi-Fi. It is limited to data connections only.

@@jessehjensen That's actually great because I was thinking of running wire from outdoor AP to another room, drill through siding and get wired connection there. If this has 2nd port to continue carrying data, now I don't have to run a whole new line there. This is excellent. Thanks.

This only applies to the Mobile app. That's because the mobile app has a Facebook mobile browser built into the app where the laptop/desktop version uses the desktop browser. You will need to use the mobile version to turn it off. m.facebook.com/help/1980001549003872/?cms_platform=android-app&helpref=platform_switcher

@@jessehjensen Thank you very much!

They stay the same color. Each fixture can be changed independently but not the top and bottom light within the same fixture.

I agree, removable connectors would be ideal. I am experimenting with some weather proof boxes. I'll post an update if I find a good solution.

I found a solution that works for my application. Here is a video I just uploaded: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZasd4pofsiXiaM

That’s a great idea and easily removable. Thanks for the comment!

Each set needs its own power, they can’t be connected in series. You can however connect up to 3 sets together in the app so that they work together logically for lighting effects.

@@jessehjensen Awesome man! Thank you so much for answering my question. Yesterday I installed a kit on a window (indoor). I like it so much that I've ordered another one for the other window. Now I know what to expect. By the way, if you're a computer guy as I am, there's a way to install Govee Home on PC. For Windows 10 there's an Android emulator called Bluestack 5 that allows to install APK files. Windows 11 takes APK files too without the need of use Bluestack.

I am glad the video helped you out. Thanks for your support.

A link please for these sticks ? Thanks

@@pedoncule36 here’s the product I used. a.co/d/cImKGrT

So far I have not attached them and the lights are just hanging freely. I am considering attaching them at the bottom to a small light piece of plastic or wood like a yard stick to keep them evenly spaced.

Thats a great idea!
