Let’s talk about the app
Which apps do Govee wifi LED strips work with?
Led strip lights recognised by phone but not pc

This are the only supported devices on govee desktop app.
I have the same model as yours and the only thing im able to control with my desktop is to turn on/off, change brightness, and color to a static one. For all of this you need to install Lux.
One thing i really love about Lux is the fact that it is used via cmd commands, allowing me to create a script to turn the lights on when i turn on the pc and turn off the lights when i turn off the pc.

More on reddit.comHow do I control all lights within a group? Turn all group devices on/off and change color together? This app design is horrible.

So now that I have my permanent outdoor lights installed, I am curious how others are getting along in the app. I am not a huge fan of the pre-programmed Xmas patterns available so tonight I went looking through some of the shared content. I didn’t realize how much stuff was there. I found a pattern I like and applied it. Looks great. But how do I save that pattern now?
That’s just one example. I’ve seen other posts from people complaining about the app. Let’s talk about it and share any tips/tricks.
Or maybe it’s not worth it and I should just go the WLED route?
Apparently Govee's schedule function only allows you to turn on the light at a specific time, but doesn't let you gradually brighten the light until that time.
Are there any other apps that can do this and are compatible with Govee LED strips?
