The “Auto Run” commands will be more useful if you have a Govee Thermo-Hygrometer for example, so you can create automations such as if the temperature if above 29✬ then turn the lights to blue or something. However, if your eco-system only consists of Govee lights, then the “Auto Run” commands may not come in very useful as there isn’t any meaningful triggers with lighting products except on/off. “Auto Run” commands, as the name suggests, are runs automatically without any user input as long the the trigger is satisfied. If you’re using an iPhone, you can add your created “Tap-to-Run” command to Siri Shortcuts, so you can simply do a Hey Siri with a customised phrase to trigger the shortcut.įor example below, if I say “Hey Siri, party mode”, then the lightbulb will start to change into the Disco scene. “Tap-to-Run” commands allows you to create a shortcut of a pre-defined action. Say you always leave home at 8am for work, then you can set a scheduled command to ensure all lights in the house turn off by 8.10am. “Schedule” commands are time based and works best if you’d like the light to follow a certain routine. Also, you can select which microphone you’d want to use – phone or from the control. You can choose from four types of ‘Music’ modes for the Govee DreamView T1 to react to. Lastly, let’s talk about the ‘Music’ feature, which I wasn’t too impressed by it. If you prefer a soft warm around your TV, then the Warm White colour options here will do just that. The “My colours” portion only saves colours which you can quickly access. However, there doesn’t seem to be a way to save the customised colour chain. Turning on the “Gradient” feature does smoothen the transition from one colour to the other. In the ‘Color’ tab, the Govee DreamView T1 is broken down into 15 colour zones which you can customise zone to output something like I have done below. Whether or not you will enjoy this added depth of surrounding colours in your movies, you’d have to experience it yourself. The auto synchronisation of lights is quite spot on and timely, which does help make the movie watching experience more immersive. You can also choose between “Movie” and “Game” mode, which I found that “Game” seems to transition from one colour to another a smidge faster.įor a better understanding of how the ‘Video’ feature of the Govee DreamView T1 works, please watch the below two videos: “All”: The camera chooses one colour, and the lightstrip outputs that color.“Parts”: There will be more than our colour being shown, for example – red on the left, and blue on the right.Once you have calibrated the colour, you can choose between the light output to be by “Parts” or “All”. If the wall which your TV is mounted on is not white, then I would highly recommend that you adjust it for an accurate colour output. Right on the ‘Video’ tab, you’ll see that there are options to adjust the saturation and white balance. Now let’s move on to the most attractive part of the Govee DreamView T1, which is the ability of the lightstrip to sync and change colours automatically based on the content that the TV is playing through Govee’s ColourSense technology. You can choose the lighting effect and the set of colours for it cycle through. ‘DIY’ continues to allow you to create your own scenes. You can check out a brief demo of some of the scenes below: There is bound to be one is able to set the mood that you’re looking to convey. There are way more options and are categorised neatly. The scenes that you can choose to create in the DreamView T1 is different from that of the Govee Smart LED Bulb. Some of which are familiar as we have seen it on the review of Govee Smart LED Bulb – such as ‘Color’, ‘Scene’ and ‘DIY’, with a slight differences that is geared for the DreamView T1. On the Govee Home app, there are a bunch of light customisation theme which you can choose from. Ensure the camera is in the center of the TV, and paste the orange foam at the corners and sides, and arrange the points accordingly: Light customisation Once the Govee DreamView T1 is connected, the next important thing to do is to calibrate the it. To setup, ensure that your Wi-Fi on your smartphone is connected to 2.4GHz network. Govee provided cable clips to reinforce the points where it starts to bend. The lightstrip is segmented into 4 parts based on the horizontal and verticals of the TV, so it is easier to install at the bends of the TV. I like how the Govee DreamView T1 is not an entire long chain of lightstrip.
