Thanks for making this video and others Chris - always detailed and helpful!
You are the man Chris! Thank you for the video! Some of us are very timid about modifying our lights since they are pretty expensive!
Your vids have helped me out. Thanks for all your posts
Thank you SOOOOO much for this !!!!
Thank you Chris.
This would drive my old, crotchey neighbour across the street insane! I'm ordering it now!
hey Chris, what other extenders do you recommend, since the one in your link is not available? thanks!
good job, greetings from Poland
Chris, Thx for the videos great content. I used your install method for the curtain lights and they look awesome. I was wondering, when you use the music mode do you just use a speaker inside the house as a source for the effects or do you have an external speaker playing sound outside during the scenes?
Hi Chris, thank you for the content you put out. I was wondering if you know whether or not the Govee permanent lights would work with a pixel controller like a Falcon?
Thank you for posting and sharing the info! What's your take on the control driver module that's included in the 200ft version? Do you think the flickering can be resolved by adding that control driver module?
Great explanations Chris! 😊 If I might ask, do you have a solution for the curtain lights to be controlled by WLED? Or is it limited the same way as the pro version of the outdoor lights?
Hey Chris can i connect 300 ft of govee permanent outdoor lights with one power supply?
Hey Chris great video. I know you said you got the small plastic boxes for your wire connections on Amazon. Would you happen to have a link I can not fid them?
First, thanks for the videos !
For really long extension runs say 100 feet, have you tried data boosters to up the data bit to ensure it make it across the length? I the the newer version of cables has the booster built into the cable.
hi Chris, I have a couple extra Govee -M1 light power supplies left over from a couple projects. my question would be, could I run non Govee lights on this power supply & use the hub like a normal Govee Light ?
Great stuff, thanks! I guess I need some help with mines. I bought the 100ft and in the 4th segment I had to put an extension of 5ft, everything worked fine. In the 5th segment after the 4th light I need to do another extension of 11ft. Did exactly the same process and no way to get it working, tried to go for 9ft extension and still no success. What am I missing? Thanks!
Hey Chris. Where do you get your music samples from?
Hey Chris I have a question for yah about the govee M1 rgbic leg lights 16.4 ft I want to run them across my ceiling but I need 55.8 ft of lights. I know I can connect 2 sets of light together but I don't know how far I can push it without losing power to the lights. Any tips
great video. I just ordered my pro 200 since there is a phenomenal Mothers Day sale this weekend. When using the Y's, are they already made with one female and the two males for the y or did you have to modify the splitter? I havent received mine yet so dont know how it looks stock out of the box. Also what is your recommendation for a 3 ft deadspot where I need to backtrack. I am thinking of using butt connectors and 20g wire to add like a 4ft blank run. Thanks for your help
great content. So the Govee lights are WS281x? Thats the same as 2811 right? Then these lights should work with LOR pixel controllers?
Hi chris please 🙏 bro ,Can I extend the control module "the controller" in order to put it like a switch on the wall? To make a chain between the controller and the strip? Thanks in advance. I use rgbic pro 20m
Hey Chris or anyone who knows. Can you add a 10th segment to a 9 segment (150ft) kit? On the same power supply?
Hi Chris I have 2 100 footers to do around my whole house SO i have 2 power supplies so If i go with the esp 32 I will need one for each power supply. is this right. I looked on amazon and there is a lot of those ESP32's can you please tell us what one to get TY
Hey Chris I got the first gen Govee and I ran two strands from the power supply, I spliced and rewired to fit my house but I had a strand with only 3 lights left from when I cut earlier but when I connected the 3 they worked just fine however connecting a new strand to the them after a 3’ cable extension they seem to loose power but strangely enough only two lights at the end of the new strand would work but nothing else, I looked through the app to see if I can edit the settings but doesn’t seem like it recognizes them at all any help here would be greatly appreciated thank you
My question is can you connect 2 different GoVee products together on the same string? I have permanent outdoor lights on the first floor of my house. I only needed 4 strands. Can i buy the GoVee outdoor flood lights and connect them to the end of the 4th string of the outdoor permanent lights all ready mounted and therefore using the single power pack that i have ran from my garage attic that's hidden from the outside and not have to plug in the flood lights to my front porch that would be seen? Hope this makes sense.
27:54 Im currently facing the situation to Y splice my govee pro lights, but am afraid that it wont have enough juice to power the remainder of the lights- what have you guys done -any tips or suggestions?
I want to switch to using WLED. Unfortunately, the lights are already installed so doing the cutting & splicing up on a ladder is not ideal. I have the single wire running from the Govee control box in the garage thru the wall outside to the connection of initial light string with three distinct wires. Has anyone cut that single wire in your experimenting? I assume it has to contain voltage, negative, and data lines but is seems pretty thin to contain all 3. I am very hesitant to cut into it and ruin something; especially if the internal wires are not marked somehow.
Yes, I cut mine about 18" (450mm) from the power supply ( it had three wires. Still not sure what the yellow wire was for) and then about 6" (150mm) after the controller for the data line. I then utilized the remaining line from the controller to the lights for the power and data feeds. My only issue was the lights flickering when pushing too much output power with WLED. This was easily fixed by limiting the output with WLED to 1000 mA.
This seems to be at least as bright as the Govee controller put out. By eye anyway.
Good Video.
Question
Can you add 6 lights to the final end of the 12th segment if you need just a bit more?
I have the 200 Pro version
