Govee T2 Backlights Installation, Setup, and Guide!

[@deceptionz187]

This was an INCREDIBLE video! So straight to the point and PROFESSIONAL! Thanks so much. Using the T2 on my 85" Samsung Q90T and going to sync them also wth the 20 Hex Govee panels I bought. ❤

[@TechYourLife1]

Enjoy so much!

[@Caramelion77]

Dude! You just gained a like & subscriber for this! I was having so much trouble with the calibration before seeing this post! You’re that dude!!!! Thank you!!!

[@TechYourLife1]

Oh awesome! Thank you!

[@mandarOhNine]

It never asked me how I set up.... It's all synced and the lights work but they won't actually do anything based off whats on my screen

[@TechYourLife1]

I'd redo the setup process. Something weird happened

[@KizmetEnigma]

Are you able to connect to it via the app and run calibration? I was able to connect, but calibration wouldn’t work. I figured out that it needs to be on wifi to calibrate and it lacks an antenna, so it needs to be almost on top of the wireless access point

[@G_Weezy]

KZbin Govee calibration screen and the orange boxes are placed evenly throughout the TV. Don’t even need those orange pads sticking to your screen.

[@TechYourLife1]

I agree, you can do it without the pads sticking to your screen during calibration. It's pretty easy

[@randomname9758]

Is it not too close to the edge? Won't this cause too much light bleed? Mine's coming today so I'll probably set it up tomorrow. Thanks for the video.

[@camcooolback4115]

What’s lightbleed ?

[@misterwho4633]

Light from the LED being too visible if it's right on the edge. I'd probably fix mine an inch away from the edge.

[@stevenechavarry8069]

Looks good thanks for the video. Is there something like this for a 100" projector screen?

[@TechYourLife1]

You could try, but I would say use an HDMI sync box instead. There is a 100" version that Govee now makes of this lineup though!

[@jonc1282]

I plugged in mine and the LEDs lit up and blinked for a second then it does not light up anymore. The power indicator is color red. What is wrong and what can I do to continue installtion?

[@comiser]

Don't know what am doing wrong but mine is not working right

[@TechYourLife1]

Try getting everything dark and put up a static image, then have a close look.

[@AubieClay]

Did it work man

[@comiser]

@@AubieClay I haven't tried it yet. I will and get back to you. Thanks for following up.

[@docdrew3191]

How about auto on/off with tv??

[@mj-np9sy]

I just got these this app is honestly confusing and I'm no luddite. I have no idea what it's doing, if I turn on movie dream scene whatever where I expect it to match the movie colors it's just random colors doing random things, lots of blinks. Sound mode isn't on. I have no idea what partial vs full does.. They need way more of a guide

[@NancytheMatchmaker]

ABSOLUTELY!!

[@LeVelled-UP]

How long is the power cord that comes with it?

[@Mike-yj5yw]

I have a 65"Tv. The 55-65" LED strip is too short. There would be several dead spaces of lights w/ this strip. Going to ship back & order the 75".

[@TechYourLife1]

I didn't have a 65" to test, but good to know. I'll let Govee know too

[@sixstab2967]

Fukk i just received mine. I have a 65 inch too. How did it work out for you?

[@BeforeThisNovember]

@@sixstab2967bruh I’m literally watching this to install it on my 65” rn What did you do?

[@sixstab2967]

@@BeforeThisNovember yooo! I installed it and worked out perfectly size wise. You have to mess with the calibration (look on google/youtube) but it looks amazing !!! My tv is really good oled lg c3 and this took it to a whole new level.

[@crapdog30]

We have 2 65" tv's with the 55 to 65 and these work perfectly. Move them in a little, about 4 inches or so on each side

[@Cathycolonpr]

My doesn’t want to pair . It finds it but doesn’t want to pair . Any suggestions ?

[@stoic_smile]

I'm having the same issue its so freakin annoying!! I got a replacement from Govee and the new T2 doesn't work either!

[@TechYourLife1]

I don't. This sounds like a new Bluetooth issue. Maybe try a tablet or a different phone?

[@user-qg4ip5dq3r]

Can anyone know a cable C connect from control box to camara ..where i can buy ? Because they shipping mising a cable, i trying to using regular C cable and 3.1 gen 2 is won’t work booth Thanks

[@tinystiddlers8170]

Am i right in thinking its movie mode for the lights to copy whats on the screen

[@TechYourLife1]

Yep!

[@tinystiddlers8170]

@@TechYourLife1 Also when you turn the tv and lights off does it remember your current settings on the app

[@twistedstyles]

How do I get this to turn on and off with my TV?

[@TechYourLife1]

Use another service like Alexa with a Smart TV and/or a Smart Plug

[@baitykris1]

Any suggestions for a 50 inch TV? I don't have nor want a bigger screen in my living room, but have been considering backlighting for my existing TV. I really like the way the T2 handles it. Seems better than using a sync box.

[@TechYourLife1]

Sadly I don't have a good suggestion for that size of TV now. Govee's gone bigger, not smaller in terms of sizes offered. You COULD try it and just do a little bit of wiggling with the strip on a smaller screen. I don't think the 5" would make a difference camera wise but the strip would obviously be a little long. Likely 1-2" per side right? So I think you could navigate that too. No guarantees though ok?

[@baitykris1]

@AYL thank for the reply. I think I will try that. Seems like I could put a bit of a curve in each strip when mounting. Thanks again for posting the tutorial.

[@rnash97]

​@@baitykris1I have a 50" TV and my Govee T2 just arrived! Wish me luck with mounting though😣

Do we have to use the AC adapter? Would love to skip the hanging cable.

[@TechYourLife1]

Yeah, power requirements are much too high

[@stoimirstoev445]

Excellent choice of Star Gate!

[@TechYourLife1]

There is NO better show!

[@radohryc254]

Its shame the bottom of my tv is too wide for cam 😢

[@camcooolback4115]

What is my TV is so tilted at the bottom that there is no point of putting the strip on the back at the bottom, and I just put it on the bottom of the bottom?? it’s on a bit of an angle??

[@TechYourLife1]

Little angles and things aren't a big deal. Just get it as close as you can to the spot where it's expected and it'll work just fine :)

[@camcooolback4115]

@@TechYourLife1 I put the bottom strip right on the bottom of the tv because it’s so tilted works perfect!!

[@AubieClay]

Hey do you need Wi-Fi for the tv led lights like to set up or to have them on ?

[@TechYourLife1]

I've had wifi go out before and Bluetooth from your phone still works, but to set up you may need wifi. Just broadcast a signal from your phone

[@Zman1963]

Can you recalibrate? I think I pressed got it too soon and wasn’t able to go back. Oh how do you reset?

[@Larrydumas]

just go back in to setting and recalibrate

[@Zman1963]

@@Larrydumas I’m in settings, is it clear cache? Should I clear? Don’t want to do the wrong thing.

[@TechYourLife1]

It actually says recalibrate in the settings. Icon is a gear

[@Zman1963]

Says settings on top of screen then personal info then account and security then a bunch of other stuff then log out. No recalibrate. So I don’t know if there another setting screen or what.

[@JohnSmith-vf3vl]

The app will not connect. Says no device found why?

[@TechYourLife1]

Try turning on/off bluetooth on your phone. Reboot the app. Try again. That works for me and it's sometimes related to your phone holding onto a bluetooth connection to something else

[@b787sotelo]

I ordered this on Amazon, then I decided to watch a set-up review and I came across yours. I immediately cancelled my order when you said it has to connect to a 2.4 Ghz wifi network. Thats a bummer... I'm looking to add some LED lights behind my TV, but thanks to spectrum I only have a 5 Ghz network.

[@TechYourLife1]

That's very odd to only get 5 GHz WiFi in this day and age. You'll find almost every smart home product that's not a camera or speaker uses 2.4 GHz WiFi. I would assume that 2.4 GHz WiFi antenna could be turned on on your router

[@crapdog30]

You have a 2.4 option I promise

[@randomname9758]

Every modem has a 2.4 GHz signal. It is standard. In fact, you would probably get better coverage then 5 GHz. Five is faster but are affected way more by walls blocking in the way. 2.4 is the actual standard for a lot of the internet of things and every modem will have this.

[@joshj827]

I’m having issues even getting Wifi credentials into the app to get to the point of dragging the points to the orange blocks

[@TechYourLife1]

Weird. Never heard of that. Not much I can offer in terms of help. Just the regular: try rebooting and then chat with govee's support

[@jamesg8246]

I had the same issue. @joshj827 I don't know why, I have 30 some odd devices, some that are on 2.4Ghz and some on 5Ghz, and everything else works fine on those networks. What worked for me was to turn the wifi Hotspot on my cell phone on, enter those credentials to get through calibration. Then once set up I changed the wifi setting in the govee app to use my normal 2.4Ghz wifi network and now it works fine. Just have to make sure Bluetooth is on to connect if you need to make changes.

[@joshgreen7134]

Light strips need to be longer for 85 in tv

[@TechYourLife1]

They have a longer version

[@user-zo7xt7sr1m]

What happens if your tv is too small

[@TechYourLife1]

It just won't work right. Don't try it if it's too small by a lot.

[@dikluegert6658]

Camera looks to not be centered

[@TechYourLife1]

lol it is

This bullshit doesn’t stick at the back of my fucking tv😊

You should try cleaning it lol. Still stuck to the back of mine after more than a year!
