    Just bought the 66ft version for my Christmas tree. The kiddos are gonna go crazy constantly changing the lights.

    i got the 20m one with 200 leds is it normal to come with some dead leds? 3 are dead with mine - is it worth it to rma it or is this the "norm"

      No, you shouldn't expect it to come with any dead LEDs. I'd exchange it personally.

    Is 99 feet long enough for a 7.5 foot tree?

    • @anoraker
      @anoraker  11 днів тому +4

      Yes i think so. What you’re seeing in my video is a 7.5 foot tree and the 66 foot length option.

    Can you tell me how you did the effect at 4:23 . That would fit my scenes perfectly. Also, how do I get to the mapping option??

    • @anoraker

      I drew that particular affect. I'll see it's possible to share so it shows up in the DIY section for other people.

    If You buy 2 separate strings can You connect them together. Or by using the camera can You have them working together when it checks all the positions of the leds?

    • @anoraker
      @anoraker  Місяць тому +1

      Unfortunately no, you can't connect them in series (not even with the camera). The closet thing would be DreamView which can sort of treat many of your Govee lights as one big scene and manage whatever effect you choose across them for a comprehensive view.

    Can you string two 99 ft lights and have it function as one?

    • @anoraker
      @anoraker  5 днів тому

      They won't directly connect. But what you can do is group them together with Govee's Dreamview and make them act as one.

      @ thanks that’s what I meant. Not physically connect them but in the app if I can group them together so they act like it’s one

    I have a 7 ft tree. Does a 64 ft suffice or should I go with the 99 ft? TIA

    • @anoraker
      @anoraker  Місяць тому +1

      I have a 7.5 foot tree and the string lights I show are the 66 foot variant, and it's not a skinny tree either. I think the 66 foot variant should be long enough for yours unless you have like a super duper wide tree or something.

      No direct Homekit to be found here.
      It is Matter compatible... but Matter is still in a pretty unfinished practically broken state. I need to do a video about that... on the list.
