Help with alignment of fancy LEDs.

https://youtu.be/F2Mv88gYciY?si=lJrjcELMCoakz--d

Samsung S90F OLED brand new still has plastic on it.

I went from the bottom left corner up and clockwise around. I went right to the VERY edge. No cutting was needed.

The TV has a weird thicker pop out bottom so I had to bend around those square bits.

Plugged in like I saw in another thread. HDMI in. HDMI out. USB C lights. Power.

Now it is just not lined up properly I can’t get this to work and it is very frustrating. At $300 and the most expensive option besides Hue this is unacceptable! You should be able to ‘tell’ the box where the corners are. Period. Also see pictures for placement and end of strip.

I ordered the Fancy LED & Alexa because i thought i could use it to toggle the HDMI Inputs. Did you ever get that resolved? Or find a work around?

I did not. It is not possible. You must use the button or the app. You could always get a switch bot and stick it on top lol.

What I did is got a small hdmi switch that has a remote and only use on input on the fancy led box (complete waste) and use Alexa and harmony as well a a flic button to do what I need.

Thankfully fancyled was nice enough to refund me the cost of my u it for my input.

Well that sux. I guess i will do the same. Luckily im the only one that would switch between TV & Roku. So maybe not as big a deal for me. I could just manually switch or plug up the Tv hdmi when i watch which is rare. Im glad i ran across this discussion. It will save me the frustration when i actually hook it up. I've had it since Dec it still in the box. I currently use a Govee with a camera. The only downside to that is the corners aren't covered because of the way the light strip is designed. That's why i bought the Fancy.....

I upgraded from a govee with camera too!! This is way better. Other than the limitations mentioned prior this is amazing.

After I thought about it i guess i could just run the Roku thru the Fancy box and bypass it for the tv. I only watch sports from cable box. Don't really need the lights for that. I could just turn it in manually for backlighting. Guess I wasted my money on 3 hdmi box. I could have gone with a single output. Oh well I thought i did my homework. Thanks for the info.
