These are the Govee.com coupons mentioned the most by Slickdeals users:

SPLASH-CAD 12% off (confirmed on various sensors, light strips, etc)
BOOM 10% off (confirmed on most products)
TAKE5 $5 off per unit (better than the welcome offer, confirmed on various products)

So we don't rehash lessons from previous Govee deal threads:

- Govee is a Chinese brand, but they tend to have exceptional quality, outstanding customer service/warranty, and many fans on SD, which is why they consistently hit the Front Page.
- Their Bluetooth only devices often pair with Govee WiFi hubs for their other products, allowing remote access to your devices out of the house and on the app. For example, their BT hygrometers connect to the v2 water sensor WiFi hub.
- There are no international transaction fees even though Chase says it's international.
- The warranty experience is much better when you buy direct, as opposed through Amazon. Your order is directly tied to the app, meaning you can initiate a recall of a defective unit with free shipping directly through the Govee app with one click; no phone calls or hassle.

Its not hard to setup an rpi with hyperbian. Direct wire vastly outperforms a camera version.

But its going to be roughly $120 or so for everything you need, so this govee is a good deal if you hate setup.

Can you explain further for us newbies how to set up the Govee version and the difficulty involved?

This won't do the same job as bias lighting for reducing eye strain right ?

Yeah I'm trying to understand the difference between these and standard bias lighting.

Standard bias lighting is just a solid color typically, no? This extends the colors on your screen, past your screen.

I think that's right. Just wondering if one of the settings of this is biased lighting? 6500k I think. It seems like a no-brainer to just add it as a preset.

We own a T1 version of this, and I do not recommend it, as it's terrible at remaining connected to our wifi. There is no way to sync the power for this to your television, so you have to either use the schedule in their app, or tie it into home automation. I can attest that Govee has terrible reliability for their API - I just replaced all of our light bulbs with Phillips Hue due to reliability. I solved the synchronization issue with connecting my Home Assistant service with Govee, and using my smart TV's online presence as a trigger to toggle the power for this Govee T1.

Problem is: the Govee T1 very frequently forgets what Wi-Fi network it is configured for too - which makes it even more frustrating. Govee also only warrantees this for 1 year, then you're on your own. If you get this from Amazon, opt for an extended warranty if it's offered.

In the end, we opted to try out a Govee TV Backlight 3 (more updated version), which has been far more reliable than the T1. For the lighting effect, I would suggest this one over the T1 all day, any day.

Not to argue with a stranger on the Internet, but I've had the Govee t1 for a bit over 1.5 years and have had absolutely zero issues. No connectivity issues at all, never dropped Wi-Fi connection. Connected it with our Alexa once and it's remained 100% functioning and flawless since day one.

Can't speak for other setups, like directly-via-the-cable connected lights, but the delay is barely noticable. If you directly stare at it, try to notice a delay from the screen changing color to the lights, yes you'll see a tiny delay. But while watching TV or a movie you won't notice it.


All that said, I believe the newer versions are better, and not vastly different in price, so do some minor research if it matters a lot, and get any of them. I thought it would be kind of a dumb gimmick, but I absolutely love the lights. Makes the whole TV watching experience much more vibrant and the extra lighting does feel better on the eyes.

I've had the T1 for about 1.5 years as well and its always connected to wifi and works. I only turn mine on with an Alexa routine that turns off all lights in the house and turns on the T for certain movies.
