How To Use The Govee App (Detailed Video)

[@Dewster_42]

This is the worst app interface I’ve ever seen. It clearly has a lot of customization but nobody can work the menu without studying it for several hours. Thanks for the video, this helped a lot

[@jbsdiytv]

Yes it definitely can be a headache no doubt about that. There are still some areas within the app I need to study some more. I’ll continue to put more short videos on the app when I get around to it

[@brendatedesco4023]

I agree, the worst app I have ever used.

[@jamesa8851]

Everyone saying this is the worst app you’ve ever used name a single better user interface for LED control. You won’t find it. I have been professionally installing colored lights for the last five years there is no contender even though it’s not perfect. Maybe Hue lights, but at about four times the cost I don’t know if it’s worth it.

@MikeyWand did you bring the speed down on your DIY? If not, try that. You can also go to the explore and pick user settings of their DIY and apply them to yours. When I say DIY I mean actually making one in Advanced settings and slowing the speed down

[@camexplora9742]

Totally agree

I agree as well. It took me about 2 years to figure 80% of the app and still learning something new everyday. I’m willing to help you get to where you need if you let me. If not I completely understand

When you set the basic timer can you choose what you want your light to be? When I pick a scene, it just goes back to a basic color the next day, it doesn't keep what I want.

It almost seems like you have set an automation timer and it’s over riding the regular timer. Delete any automated timers that you have so it can work properly. Then it should work afterwards

Hello JB, I have enjoyed your videos and will be installing these Govee Perm Lights pro version on my house this weekend. So for the 100' kit, the lights will extend around each side of my house for about 16 feet or about 10 lights per side. My question is can I turn off those lights so they do not run with my Christmas theme? I would like to use them for accent lighting the rest of the year but for the Christmas display, I only want the front of the house lights to operate. I am also in Round Rock, TX BTW. Also, can music be synced with the music from my phone or will it only sync with the microphone? Thanks in advance for your help!

[@jbsdiytv]

Hi and thank you for your support by watching our content. If you create a custom diy then yes you can turn those off. Use the white box with a red slash to turn them off. You can save them by using the green snapshot button. If you use a govee preset scene you can not edit them, that is what it is unfortunately. You can use your phone music to react with your lights or use the music sync box that you can add 10 devices to work with the box. As far as the accent light goes, make sure to turn off background color to off(white box with red slash) so as you turn them off, the purple tint doesn’t stay. Create a new snapshot for your accent lighting

I just purchased the outdoor pro lights and I am learning how to use the app. You show at 5:06 in the video, how to assign individual light colors using the advanced settings. When I try that and select a color it instantly applies the default clockwise effect. How do you assign individual lights solid colors without an effect being applied? Thank you for the video it is very informative!

[@jbsdiytv]

Hi. Sorry for the late response. I was out doing a small Govee rescue. Thank you for your patience. Yes what you are implying is that you trying to make solid colors without them moving. All you need to do is bring down your speed and the lights will not move anymore. Then you can save it using the green camera for screenshot

Ok thanks! I wasn't aware thats how to stop the color changing.

Can I add all 6 to my last full string or is that too many extra lights on one factory string? If not, how and where do you suggest I reintegrate those 6 lights.

[@jbsdiytv]

Hit there and thanks for watching. On the first generation lights, there are 12 lights. If you want to attach lights in a way where you have cut off the factory connections and want to solder them together, then it needs to be a full strand and it needs to be at the 6 beginning of a strand and not attaching strands that have been cut halfway into the new line. On the pros, you can do this anywhere within the line

If I set a timer for basic will it also work for same group ???

No, Would you would need to do is set an automation with your scene or DIY because if you have group devices and you set a basic timer, it will only work for one of the devices. It can be done, but you would need to individually set a timer for each device, which automation would be better because it will ask you to add a time point and add action and that would be your your scene or DIY. Basic group is for different model types and same model group is for same type of outdoor lights like pros and non pros.

I recently purchased an RGBIC LED light strip (16.4ft) and noticed that the last 30 lights on the strip don't glow for the "Optimistic" scene (almost like the scene was designed for a shorter strip even though this was the shortest one available).

Could you boot up the app and tell me whether you experience issues with this scene? Thanks.

Try this because you can’t rule this out. Go to that area on the strip and make sure the solder connections on the light are making contact by jimmying it where they eventually will make contact. It could be a faulty section. Let me know if you see them light up by flickering

[@RawkHawk2010]

@@jbsdiytv First of all, thanks for the quick response! Doing what you said causes this segment of lights to emit the same faint blue/green light that all the other lights emit when they're off, indicating they're making contact. Also I just want to clarify that this segment has no trouble displaying the colors used by the "Optimistic" scene when applied in a DIY, which honestly makes me think the scene itself is glitched (again, literally every other scene works fine) but I need someone else with the app to check.

@RawkHawk2010 yes sir not a problem. I do know this effect happens when other users apply other users scenes with different model types to their outdoor lights and some have 6 strands vs 12 strands. This was my best bet on this cause I had a similar issue like this but my connections were bad and I fixed them. Need to do a video on the strip lights since I get asked about the Govee strip lights as well

[@RawkHawk2010]

@@jbsdiytv Ah, that makes sense. Thanks again!

[@robertb.9702]

my current hubspace smart plug is unable to do what i need and hoping the govee smart plug can. I want to reboot my router once a week, I know smart plugs will maintain memory so they will be able to turn back on according to schdule even as the router is temporarily off. The problem: my hubspace plug will only allow one event a day....and it must ne TURN ON first..than a TURN OFF second. It wont let me than schedule an addittional turn on. The TURN ON must be paired with a TURN OFF. IT wont let me schedule a TURN OFF first..THAN a TURN ON..inthat order. Can govee smart plug have daily independent times?

[@jbsdiytv]

🤷‍♂️sorry I couldn’t help

[@macevans1246]

I really want to find out how to turn off the effects so that I can have a few selected lights on and only those lights. no twinkle, gradient, breathe, etc... just "ON"

[@jbsdiytv]

Take your speed all the way down. Are you doing this in advance settings correct?

[@macevans1246]

This was the answer... once I turned it down all the way it was perfect. THANK YOU!!!!@@jbsdiytv

@macevans1246 no problem at all. Your welcome. Happy New Year

Hi JB, thanks for the videos. I have two 100' units that I created a group for. Is there a way to sync that I can do a chase diy that will go from one to the other? Thanks

[@jbsdiytv]

Yes, group them in same-model group. Once you pick a DIY then they will both will respond in sync. Hope this helps

[@jeffreybarta9258]

​@jbsdiytv yes in sync but from the last led in the first string to the first one in the second?

[@leafs2994]

Can you physically cutout four lights out of a middle strand? It works best for me for installation. Will it still work in succession? Thanks ! Great video !

[@jbsdiytv]

On the Govee pros, I have not had a problem doing this, as for the non pros they need to all be in sequence with each other as they are dependent on each other

[@YanellInnabi-DanialDMD]

Do you have to be connected via Bluetooth to use the same group mode? My controller are in different parts of the house so I can’t connect to both devices at once. Also is there a way to set the two different lights in order?

[@jbsdiytv]

When we do installs, we keep the controllers up front for front lights and back controller with the back. Also, Bluetooth and WiFi work the best if there is one controller instead of two

[@YanellInnabi-DanialDMD]

@@jbsdiytv oh I see. Is it possible to have 300 feet of light with one controller? If I put the extension module after the 5 th string I can add the remainder to make 300 feet. I have installed both the 100 and 200 foot kits right now with two separate controllers

[@bnato8209]

I cant get my groove to shut off the lights. It turns them on per the scheduled time and days but the groove will not turn them off when scheduled at 15:00, they just stay on and I have to open the app and click the blue button for that grovee and it turns off. I have tried multiple govees in my 4 pack to no avail. Cant figure this out. Anyone else have this problem??

[@jbsdiytv]

Hi are you still encountering this problem?

[@bnato8209]

@@jbsdiytv Hi, I figured out I needed a female to male power adaptor plug to connect the wifi controller to the Twinstar light plug, which I purchased online. It works great now. Thank you!!

[@jbsdiytv]

Interesting that’s new to me. Thanks for sharing

[@clintcornett79]

I just bought a pack of the 4 light bulbs from Govee. And was able to set them up through the app the issue is I want someone else to access the lights on their phone . Do you have to have 2 separate accounts for the bulbs ? We were able to add them on both phones but would quit working and disappear??

[@jbsdiytv]

No sir, all you have to do is give them the email and password you set up an Govee account at the beginning and they can control it as well.

[@HogWild-s6o]

Can you link multiple DIY creations to run consecutively in a loop run?

[@jbsdiytv]

Sorry must of missed this message. You can create your DIY then place them in automation schedules and pick certain times you want it to turn to a different diy

[@omnipop4936]

Is a snapshot the same as a DIY? (Do your snapshots appear next to your DIYs as choices when doing the timer, for example?)

[@jbsdiytv]

Snapshots are the same when you create them in finger sketch and DIY finger sketch. Finger sketch tab does not have the same capabilities like DIY finger sketch does. Snapshots will not appear next to your DIYs. Creating a finger sketch DIY you’ll have the ability to post it to your Govee app profile and share it with others. You’ll have the ability to duplicate your scenes, edit them again, and organize them by setting them in groups

[@ApogeeLLC2012]

I have 3 sets of the 200' Pros. Can you splice the 4' and 12' extensions if necessary? Also, will I be able to sync all 3 controllers. I have 2 at one end of the house and 1 at the other. Thanks in advance.

[@jbsdiytv]

Yes you can sync the devices in same-model group. There will be some things you’ll have to do individually in automation scheduling to set how your everyday scenes will look like. Can you use and example to what you mean by splicing the extensions

[@ApogeeLLC2012]

Thank you. Can the extensions be cut to size? I read somewhere that you can't cut them. @@jbsdiytv

[@jbsdiytv]

That’s a bologna sandwich lol. Yes you can cut them to size. Just make sure to leave that tiny box on it. Use waterproofing heat shrink solder sleeves not crimped connections to bring them back together

[@ApogeeLLC2012]

There's a tiny box at both ends so I think I'll just leave those alone and hide the extra line somewhere. Thanks for the responses. Really helping my job right now. Almost done!@@jbsdiytv

[@jbsdiytv]

You’re welcome, not a problem. Sounds like you got the 150ft kit. Good luck

[@tmartins63]

Thanks for a great video. I finished putting up my lights this weekend and I am very impressed so far. Your videos helped me a lot. I have one question pertaining to music. If I am using Spotify, do I just play something on a phone that is running the Govee app and spotify and the lights will sync or do i need to purchase their Sync Box. Thanks.

[@jbsdiytv]

There are two ways to do this. If your mic on the controller is near, then you can use a stereo near by. The other way is just use you phones music. Go to the app, go to music sync from phone and then play your music that you want and connect to a Bluetooth speaker outside

[@MrRedheadedredneck]

I can't seem to get my segment management for my lights to work. I check marked what I wanted to light but all the lights come on...any suggestions...TIA

@@jbsdiytv they are grouped. Two separate 100foot lines.

Hello there. I’ve only been working with the Govee outdoor permanent lighting. I may have to start researching those products, understand it and then make some videos on them. Sorry, I wouldn’t be able to answer question at the moment. Thanks

I made a spotlight DIY. , once it’s saved , how am I able to go back into it and change some settings? How can I updates DIY I ALREADY made and saved ?

Were you able to do an update at initial set up? Some of my clients have seen that in there lights. It’s only happening in the new batch of lights

[@tmartins63]

@@jbsdiytv I added an extra section of lights and I may need to reset. I will do a reset as you described in the video and see if that helps. Thanks.

[@jbsdiytv]

@tmartins63 yes do a factory reset by pressing for 5 seconds. If that doesn’t work go to settings at the top right and find and adjust your segmented strands. 100ft is 6 segments and 150ft is 9 segments. Count your strands you have

[@tmartins63]

Reset did not. Make any difference. I have the 100’ + 1 more extra strand + the extension wire. Settings states 7 segments. Do I need to add a segment for the extension wire? I also ordered 1 more section which I should receive this weekend. When I am done I will have 8 segments of lights and 1 extension wire.

[@tmartins63]

I just discovered that I have the brightness at 100%. If I reduce it to 98% the lights that are off remain off. I’ll leave it at that for now.

[@yogurlgglexus]

Can you put on more than 150ft on one controller? I bought 150 ft and a 100 ft. Can i put them together or do i have to put the 100ft on another controller.

[@jbsdiytv]

The 150ft kit is all you can do. It won’t read past 9 segments(108 lights) in the apps. On the 100ft, you can add 3 more strands which makes 150ft. You can group your controllers in same-model group in the app to sync. Make sure you keep your strands running in the same direction for left to right or right to left so all your scenes look in sync
