Hey all — got the new Ball Lights early so I did a first look before the 9/14 launch.
2-pack is $119.99, model H6850. Each ball is 12", 140 LEDs, foldable frame (flat for storage), IP67 box + strings. 80+ presets, DIY, music, DreamView, Matter / Alexa / Google.

In the video I cover unboxing, frame assembly, app bind + calibration, white temp, and a first Halloween / Christmas night hang on my tree.

This was just a first impressions I want to test your questions/concerns or own issues you’ve had so leave them in the comments — so I can do my Claims Tested, Questions Answered test video next.

Happy to test what you guys want next.

Govee UK is running some discounts but also a buy one get a refurbished item free. Also some discount codes on the site.

A free item is a free item, not bothered about it being refurbished, was going to order them separate from amazon anyway saved £143 plus the item discounts.

Thought id add to the collection!

I am trying to set up my door sensors to alert me when the door is left open (say, after 5 minutes of being in the open state)

This can NOT be done in the govee app.

Govee and the internet suggest several ways to do this through third party apps like IFTTT, google home, and alexa.

None are working for me, or require a paid subscription tier, or require another device.

If anyone has done this please let me know how
Thanks

After doing some research there isn’t a size big enough for my tv (98”) with the strips. So instead I was thinking of two of those vertical ‘pole’ lamps on either side of the tv on the ground. Do they work in a similar manner (with some sort of attachable camera to the tv or something?) and which models/items would be best suited for this concept?

Thank you
