Wow I bought the Govee immersion thing like a year ago but still haven’t set it up yet. I didn’t t know you could connect it to additional lights. I really need to stop being lazy and get this going. Thanks!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

You are very welcome and thanks so much for watching! Yeah its pretty cool how easy it is to set up! They did a great job!

[@kaislate]

This is a new feature that was not available when the original govee tv solutions came out. If you have the older units they are NOT compatible with this. The dream view button will show in the app, but pressing it will direct you to buying the newest TV unit only.

[@patrickyeary]

You can only connect it to 4 different devices

[@crisdeguzman8786]

Too bad it does not support earlier releases of govee immersion.

[@patrickyeary]

@@crisdeguzman8786 true but you can make a support ticket on their app and they will send you a new sync box. It took a while to get to me but it’s free

[@gb1613]

Just FYI look at the directions before sticking the lights onto the TV. It requires you start in one of two specific corners or things won't line up correctly. I put mine in upside down at first and had to peel everything back off. Definitely love these lights and wish Govee would make a similar kit for monitors/small TVs

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Good catch! I think you can either start at the bottom right or left but then you always go up and then around from there. I assumed they did have something for monitors but sounds like you don't think they do? I would think there is for sure a market for that!

[@brownchild357]

Great video thank you. I love the lights immediately around the TV, but I think the other 2 zones you added are just a bit to distracting with action scenes. I will be buying the base kit.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Yeah the lights are not for everyone. I mostly have everything turned on when listening to music that have static background images so that its a nice ambiance without all the flashing lights.

[@EduPagani]

EXACTLY the video I've been looking for! I got the Govee TV T2 and I wasn't sure how to add more lights to expand t he effects. YOU just clarified it. Thank you!

[@cloudstrifestrife1699]

[@MrFruitPrimate]

Very impressive, really highlights how small the TV is.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, the tv looks very small in the far away shots. I never thought a 65" tv would appear small but I think I could for sure do a 75" next time!

[@MrFruitPrimate]

@@ChrisMaherDIY oh man I didn't expect a response. Good vid for real.

[@D.K.-]

I think its probably the location that makes it look small. Try centering on a wall and watch it magically grow! I work with shapes and angles for a living lol

[@tehgringe]

I also make sure gaming mode is disabled, so the transitions are less distracting and appear to flicker as there is latency. I've also set the brightness down for zones further away from the TV so that they add atmosphere but don't look like a projection across the entire room

Great vide of the setup and installation. My OCD is on FIRE though cuz the TV isn't on the fireplace.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Lol yeah if I were to do it again I'd probably do it above the fireplace. I think at the time I read somewhere that having the tv too high is bad for your neck. (I also think the challenge of installing it through the rock also might have played into the decision lol) Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@terrification]

@@ChrisMaherDIY Agreed you'll probably need a pro to run power behind the brick there. 100% right about tilting your neck up as well. I watched this video because i'm looking to do something similar to my projection setup. Can you string a few of these together for larger installations? I have a 120 inch projection screen.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

@@terrification thanks for the info! Govee said they don't work on projectors although I have not tested it out so I'm not exactly sure why it wouldn't. Even if it could work, your not able to splice a couple together to fit a larger screen than what the kit is made for. All the programming is setti work with specific size range. I have seen a couple diy version people have made on KZbin that look amazing and I hope to someday be able to do a diy one myself!

OK, this is what I was looking for. I was concerned if I got the dreamview/light bar bundle I would be limited to just those small bars. Now I see I can expand out to the floor lamps for whenever I get those. Thanks for the info.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

You are very welcome and thanks so much for watching! Yeah, you should be able to add I believe up to 5 compatible things to the main camera setup!

[@GamerDan89]

One important note: You need to have the latest hardware revision to get the latest firmware to immersion that enables the dreamview option.

[@gavinnelson6871]

How do you update the hardware

[@GamerDan89]

@@gavinnelson6871 open the device and check if left side there is firmware version written

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching. I'm still waiting to see if Govee can provide me with a list of all their products that currently support the Dreamview function. I'll let you know If I get a list here soon!

[@kaislate]

Right now I have confirmed it is only the newest TV product. The older ones with the previous two camera designs are NOT compatible. This may change in the future, but govee's track record of adding features to older models is not great. Govee has more SKUs than taco bell has hot sauce packet quotes. This is their business model. A great example is when they released their Lifx bar clones. The original design included only one angled piece and could only be assembled in one direction. Later they added more features to the bar lights but this required you to purchase the pro version... Then they did it again and it required you to purchase the super duper pro version. Even though there is no reason the older units couldn't get the updates. Once you get as deep into the govee ecosystem as I am you start to realize how much you are being screwed over. A person that never owned a led bar system before isn't going to know any different though and will probably be happy.

[@Wootts007]

@@kaislate I dunno, I sent them a nice email and they updated my hardware box to latest model for free, I've had the immersion for over a year!

[@daviddoff2034]

Excelente video,👌🏻👏👏👏you should make one now explining how to correctly set up in order to get the right color 👍👍👍

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Yeah I could for sure go into more detail on the setup and show some of the more features. But for a quick tip, keep the saturation to around 15 -20% and the White balance at around 40%. At least that's what I did to get what I thought was the most accurate color calibration for my tv!

[@kaislate]

Chris does really great videos. This is another one. I'd like to see an overview of the govee app some time. I think people don't try to use it or give it much thought until they actually buy a govee unit. Having prior knowledge of the experience the app gives might be beneficial to viewers.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks again buddy and that is a great idea for a video! It could probably be at least a 30 min video lol.

Interesting. I was looking at the Envisual T2, but was concerned any LED backlight system would look odd with my TV, as mine swings out into a corner and not flat on the wall. I think adding a floor lamp centered in that corner will greatly help to fill in the light fall-off behind the center of the TV in that area. In the app, it will be position #3 for me. It be nice if they offered a centered directly behind the TV position option in the future.

[@GamerDan89]

First of all: Huge thank you! Because of you I added the Hexa to my T1. Question: Does your Hexa turn off in color when your picture is black? Mine are green then. I would say this is an issue. How about you?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! If the color is black then there is some type of dark color being displayed at a low brightness on mine.

[@GamerDan89]

@@ChrisMaherDIY Ah okay! What I found out: Stsrt with brightnesslevel 1 and go higher step by step. First it wil be dark, but then it starts to become green. I got mine at around 19% now. It's interesting how high you can go before it starts to display a color. :)

[@kaislate]

Govee's music modes are pretty useless since when the music is quiet govee finds it necessary to trigger a completely unrelated animation mode when in reality the LEDs should just turn off. For a kid's room though it will probably be fine, but will annoy most people as it's not what you think should happen for a sound reactive mode. There is no way mitigating this. I have even contacted govee and although their representatives have been responsive it doesn't look like this will be changed any time soon. Hopefully this comment triggers some cosmic energy and I am proven wrong like within a day. I'm not holding breath though lol.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and yeah I notice that too. For sure check your white balance and saturation and play around with those but I mostly notice it during dark scenes where instead of just turning off the leds (must be something that cant be done at a software level) they have it set to display a purplish type color.

[@andrzejfazor]

Hello, I'm from Poland and I'm sorry for the translation. I have a question for an expert in this field. I have a Govee TV Backlight T2, I just bought a Lyra lamp: Govee RGBICW Smart Corner Floor Lamp, I want to buy more: GOVEE Neon Led RGBIC and LED GOVEE RGBIC 10m (h6126) can I also synchronize these accessories with Govee TV Backlight T2 as you do he transferred the colors from the TV. And what else would you recommend? Great video and interior design!!! Greetings Andrzej.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I have not personally tired those two items with the dreamview feature so i'm not 100% sure. I would reach out to Govee just to confirm. But just based on looking at them, i'm about 95% sure that they both will work with the T2!

[@VsnsV]

Hats off to you Sir, I was was actually looking for this video. Also, is there any other possibility to have it synced without the camera and to the pc ? I know Razor and Govee desktop app partnered together, would appreciate if you can make a video about that too. Thanks in advance.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I know govee makes a pc version that works pretty much the same way but that also requires a camera. I know there is a rumor that Govee will be releasing a non camera version but I dont have any details on if thats for sure or when that might be. I have not tried the razor/govee setup so i'm not exactly sure how that would work but maybe someone else on here might know more than I do and can chime in! I would love to start getting more into pc type setups and if I do I will for sure keep this in mind! Thanks!

Love the light setup. VERY dislike the TV placement though, really throws me off how unbalanced the room feels with it mounted where it is.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah its not the best room setup for a tv. Traditionally i would imagine most people would just put it above their mantel but I think at the time I bought the tv I read somewhere that for optimal viewing and so that your neck is not always cranked up it was not recommended to install it that high. At some point I might put it there anyways but I'm also not sure how hard it is to mount with all the rock being there.

Amazing set-up! How will these work against a dark background? I have a 70" tv mounted on a very dark gray wall. Keep up the great work!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I have not personally tried it on a dark background but just from experience its for sure not going to look as good as something with a lighter color background. I would maybe try finding a cheap red, green, blue light that I could shine against the wall to test how the colors looked before buying something. I guess you could always just return the thing if it doesn't look good!

[@RaddChad]

Whoa Can this work with govee led strips too?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! yes, a lot of their strips work with dreamview. I mad a follow up video where I did something similar using the govee M1 led strip and it turned out great. Here is that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2enoWx3gbZ_icU

[@gregkrueger331]

It looks amazing and I’m gonna order the 65” govee kit but the other lights i feel would be too distracting for me personally. I love the look though.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching buddy! Lol I think the hexa light panels might have been a little too much but one thing I like to do is just listen to relaxing music channels that have calm backgrounds. On those, the colors really wont be fading in and out and it actually creates a cozy vibe. I had some jazz music on yesterday with a coffee shot image that was the classic browns and brick color scheme and it was pretty cool how the room transformed to match the coffee shop vibe!

With the Govee brand, since its a camera, it will work with anything that is on your tv. Doesn't matter what, it will work. There is a gaming mode you can turn on which increases the reacting time to the lights changing. Thanks so much for watching!

There are other products out there that have a sync box that might effect those things since you have to run everything through that box but for this setup, you just keep everything as is.

Thanks so much! If I remember correctly, the LG c2 series tv is very slim correct? The T2 is better designed to fit on slim tvs so I would probably check out that one instead of the govee T1. Here is the video I made using the T2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2enoWx3gbZ_icU

I wanted to know what videos you used to test the tv, they all looked great but I can't find those videos at all, is there a term that would fit their description?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! I mostly just searched on KZbin for Philips hue demo, govee immersion test, ambilight test. Here is one that I used in the video where I test the Govee t2 and its probably my favorite demo! kzbin.info/www/bejne/noDcnq2mmtFlqNU

[@landonjones5080]

I'm new to your channel. Why would you recommend Govee lights over Phillips?

[@landonjones5080]

*Other than the outrageous price for the whole Phillips set. Have you tested both, I mean?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! So I do have some Philips can lights in my house. I've had them for probably 4 years now and love them. They always work and color is great. I have never personally tried Philips led strips so I cant comment on those other than I don't believe they are 60 LEDs per meter and I also think they are pretty wide. My guess is that their led strip works great, gets very bright and has great whites and colors. I also would imagine they don't have nearly as much customizable options or animations like you get with Govee. So all that to say I think Philips makes amazing quality products (and their price reflects this) I do think Govee just has a lot more options, a little more affordable, better ecosystem, and has proven they will keep coming out with new and unique products. But this is also coming from a guy who has really only used one of their products!

[@DreGamer]

Awesome video! Is there a similar option that doesn’t require a camera?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I know of a few that don't require a camera. One is made by philips and the other is lytmi. There are positives and negatives to all the different options so Its a tough call on which one is the best. I would say as far as performance, price and easy setup, I would go with the Govee brand as long as you don't mind the camera.

[@louiswinskowski8954]

I have my TV above the fireplace and would like to do something like this. My question is the shelves are 3 levels high, so could I split the led light strips and run them all off of one unit, or would each level of shelves need its own set of lights?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! So in my experience working with the Govee M1, I was able to cut them into different lengths and re-connect them with extension wire and they all ran perfectly off one controller. Now I obviously have not tried every possible combination of how you can cut them and re connect them, but at least the iteration that I tried, it worked perfectly!

Looks like a slight delay is present. Makes it seem just a little off and it definitely looked to struggle with exact color accuracy and guess wrong sometimes, could be the delay, which itself could just be video compression and KZbin strangeness. Either way, absolutely epic setup

[@redxlillard7880]

From what I heard the t2 has less delay and better color accuracy

[@CapitanGreenhat]

@@redxlillard7880 less delay is still a delay and when you are syncing to video game content that can cheapen the entire experience. I like gooves multiple device dream view setup but ultimately I can't get past that delay so I went with a lytmi fantasy 3 sync box. I am curious to see a hyrbid system, there is no reason the two couldn't work at the same time but again, the delay throws off the experience bc the lights wouldn't display at the same time. Maybe it isn't as bad as I am making it in my head, lol

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! So as of now, I dont think there is a way to do this. that is one of the things I've really begged govee to figure out how to do. It cant be that hard to be able to put up like 5 of these around your room and have software treat it as 1 single long strip! Maybe with their next led strip they will be able to do this or figure out how to do things with the current version. They would sell so many if they could figure this out!

[@christiangro5446]

Can the added light systems only display one color? Let´s say I want to add one additional LED strip to to every side of the TV- for example on each wall, the ceiling and teh floor. Would these additional strips only light in the color of the center of the corresponding TV side or would they be able to match the whole captured section of the TV´s captured side? TO make this easier: when there is a gradient from red to green on the TV´s top, would the additional light placed above the TV´s top also be able to light from red to green or would it only light in a single color between red and green?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! So most of their new led strips let you assign up to 6 locations to the led strip that correspond to the tv. so its not perfect because their are 4 sides to the tv but only 6 locations which means some sides are going to have to have 2 sections while others will only have 1 assigned to the strip if that makes sense.

How do I use this if I have multiple screens that I switch between?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching! If you have multiple tv's set up, I'm not sure if this would work very well with that since they are built to fit around 1 tv. You would probably have to get 2 sets but if the screens are super close to one another, my guess is the camera might still pick up some color from the other screen and it might not look good. Might be fun to try out and if it doesn't work to your expectations you can always return everything.

What would you say is the optimal distance from led to wall?

[@CyrusHostetler]

Can you do a video of the pros and cons of your typical LED strips, controller, power supply, App vs some more out of the box like the govee system? Or just tell me why you dont just do govee type strips for projects? Is it purely because of the extra customization in the app? Because it seems a lot simpler to use govee. Are the WS2812 LEDs that much better than what govee includes? Love to understand more about it.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and thats a great idea for a video. I'll for sure put it on my to do list! First off, I do love Govee products. They are awesome and I dont think anything comes close to them when it comes to plug and play options. The reason I use ws2812b and other lights in so many of my projects is a couple reasons. The first is that govee does not currently make any led strips that have more than 30 leds per meter. Its nearly impossible to perfectly diffuse an led strip that has that much space in-between each led. The ones I mostly use have 60/leds per meter. the other reason is you can cut govee led strips down to size for smaller projects but the app does not re-calculate the animations to adjust for less leds. The animations will continue to go as if the entire strip is still there. With the led strips that I use and the program WLED to control them, you can tell the app how many led's you have and all the animations will adjust accordingly. Hope that helps answer a couple of your questions!

[@kaislate]

The app quickly becomes unwieldy for users that want more than a simple rainbow animation. Unfortunately you don't hear a lot about this because quite frankly most users are just plugging them in... Use one mode for the lifetime of their use. Or worse, stop using them after the novelty wears off. For continued and customizable use you start to realize just how cumbersome and unintuitive the app actually is.

[@adriang9673]

Do you ever think or notice the camera is in the way of the picture?
