That's what I've been thinking about doing. devices in my pc come with their onboard lighting effects, but with the press of a remote button or toggle in software progam they switch over to a 3rd party connection which is the motherboards lighting for most people. I'm not smart enought to do a remote switch just yet, but i'll probably find or make a physical switch. I've cut and saved too many controllers from all sorts of devices. Splicing in an esp32 with a switch of some sort is what i've thought everytime.

Hi Chris, Really enjoy your vids. Curious if you have any experience in Twinkly brand lights? I became heavily invested in them before knowing how limited their programming was. Being individually addressable RGB lights I’m sure they could be easily hacked to run with a more robust controller, similar to what you’ve done here with the Govee lights. Unfortunately, I have yet to find any vids about them and I am not knowledgeable enough about the subject to develop the hack myself. I would love to see what you could do to improve the Twinkly controlling options. Thanks for your time, hope to hear from you when you have time.

Hey Chris, your videos and editing are spot on. I've been messing with WLED for a while on 3D printer projects and wanted to use it with my Govee H705C Permenant Outdoor LED's (non-pro). I don't like their app and wanted a little more control ;o) Rather than cutting off the end of a light string I cut off the end of an extension to wire in my setup 36v 10a PSU powers Govee lights and 40v Buck convertor Buck convertor powers ESP32, running WLED v0.12.1, at 5v ESP32 data line connected to Govee LED I have an issue when the ESP32 is powered by the PSU, unless LED’s are set to solid, static, 100% power and white they change colour and cycle through some pattern When I disconnect the 36v PSU from the ESP32 and powered it via 5v USB everything works as expected Not a clue as to why this is happening - any thoughts?

WLED has an option to SYNC built into the software, so you can set it so that one strip will copy the other.

Cutting at the start of the lights is easy because they are already split into three distinct lines. Unfortunately, that requires that the connection point is outside of my house up under eave. Can the single wire coming immediately out of controller be cut & be stripped? I assume it has to has the power, data, and neutral lines inside but, if there is no way to identify which is which, I would be SOL. My Govee lights are already installed with the cable run from power supply to controller in garage then extended single wire thru a wall then up under eave to the actual LEDs using screw connection. I wish I could attach a photo as my question would be much easier to explain.

I used a number between the GND port on the board and the data wire on the Govee pixels and used a jumper between the negative port on the board to the negative 3 position WAGO. Positive is set up the same as it is in your video. I have 12 pixels setup in WLED with WS281x and RGB and GPIO is set for 2.

This looks like it could be a good option to replace the horrid controller / apps that come with most smart light sets (3 wire like these). Do you by chance know if that's true? It's amazing how hard it is to find solutions for lights. It seems the choices are painfully boring and buggy or super complex for a light show that requires a PC to control lol.

Oh and another question, can you direct me to your hyperion video if youve already attempted building that? If not then please do! 😊

Is it possible to use the govee controls on any led light strip?

Does this work without the original power supply. I was told to buy 150 and he put them on and it ended up being only 100ft so now im left with an extra 50ft. So i wanted to see if there was a way to put them on our cover by our chickens and horses.

WLED is also sound reactive. Just need to load the right .bin and add a microphone to your controller chip. Needs to be an ESP32.

Love your videos! 450 linear feet around my house eaves Obviously, I need at least Qty 3 - 100 ft kits with spliced runs in some places, so each segment doesn't exceed 150 ft. My question is power. Do I just use the included power supplies, one for each segment, then use a WLED controller for the 3 data lines (1 per segment)? OR Could I use a Madewell 24V power supply and inject power at each segment?

Did you ever test this out or find a solution? I have 2 kits (1 using 150’ and the other only about 50’) that do not sync well using separate Govee controllers. I’m wondering if I can just connect them all to use on one controller with wled.

Thank you so much for making this tutorial! Can other Govee products be connected the same way, such as the Govee Christmas String Lights, Govee Curtain Lights, etc…? Also, if one were to use other non-Govee addressable LEDs in their setup, would it necessitate a second ESP32? Or could other lights be controlled using a different pin on the same board?

What do you think about adding some relays or switches so you can switch from govee to wled/xlights at the flip of a switch. I'm thinking permanent install with govee most the year and xlights on the holidays.

Help me figure it out please, I received 3 packs of Govee LED Strip Light M1. Each tape is 16.4 feet, you can include only two and then the total length can reach 32.8 feet. But I have a 41 foot room and would like a consistent effect, no chunks. How to connect an additional piece of tape so that it would be part of the main flight, so that the effect could be as one. Thank you in advance.
