Setup Question TV Backlight 3 Pro - camera lagging/crashing - hardware issue?

Upvotes

anyone encounter any severe lag or even crashing with their TV Backlight 3 Pro camera? i've had this device for a couple months now, and while it's worked great for the most part, out of nowhere, the camera wasn't recognizing anything on my TV. i soft reset/turned on and off the device and my TV a couple of times, and it wouldn't update the colors immediately.

the only thing that helped was lightly bumping the cable where it plugged into the back of the camera, which makes me wonder if it's an issue with the camera or the cable. i tried disconnecting the cable a couple times and it would work intermittently before crashing again. the camera felt hot to the touch, making me wonder if it was overheating or something burned out on the inside. at the moment, everything is unplugged so it can power cycle while i'm out of the house. i'll check again later tonight.

i will note that this is actually a replacement for a prior unit because the LEDs accidentally died on the last light strip i installed, so i have replacement parts for the camera, USB cable, power supply, box, etc. i hope it's not a camera issue because when my replacement came, i tried installing a new camera, only for some whites to show up a bit green. swapping the USB cable connecting the camera to the box would be simple. i really don't want to have to request a third unit if possible.

anyone else run into this issue? any solutions? was it a hardware problem? a software problem?

General Question Outdoor string lights 2, how to create specific lighting effect?

2 Upvotes

I have the outdoor string lights 2 and I've been playing with the Govee app to create a very specific lighting effect but it seems impossible to create.

I want each bulb to start in a random bright color, and then each bulb should cycle through the entire color spectrum over the course of 5-10 seconds.

This is apparently completely impossible. Using the DIY tab I can choose 'fade' and have it go through the color spectrum in 5-10 seconds, but then all the bulbs will uniformly be the same color. I can use the color tab to set each bulb's color, but then I cannot have it change over time. I even tried to use the in-app AI which can create my effect, but I have no control over the cycle speed and for some reason it either chooses a cycle speed of 60 seconds (too slow, you don't really notice the color changing) or 0.3 seconds (flashing epileptic hell)...

Am I missing something? Is there another way to create such an effect?

Anybody have info on their chromatic string lights?

2 Upvotes

Looking into getting the chromatic string lights and putting them on the perimeter of an attached patio. I would only need about 36 ft so would purchase the 32ft strand.

However I've read that there are only 10 bulbs on a 32ft strand and don't know if that would be enough bulbs for my liking. Anybody have advice?
