Thank you very much for posting this. I have two curtains and had the hardest time trying to sync them together, with zero success in reaching out to Govee for help. You nailed it in this video and showed me precisely what I need to do. Thanks again!

I used your dancing Santa animation and my neighbors love it. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Dude you are awesome. Keep up the good work. I don’t have the background graphics knowledge to grasp some of this stuff but you did a really great job showing some of the basics

Great demo. Yeah, changing the canvas color (19:12) to "no color" (or any other color, for that matter) makes no difference in this case because the app simply covers the _entire canvas_ with its version of the photo you selected. We humans see the white as "empty background behind the object", but the app sees it as "color: white", and fills it accordingly. As such, there are literally no empty areas of canvas left to reveal. I'd be interested to see whether a .PNG image (which can literally have pure emptiness around a shape or object) would yield a different result. I doubt it though. I don't think the app is quite "smart" enough to distinguish file types yet. 😄

Have they ever fixed the SHOW function please?

[michaelgernaey]

Love it!! Totally bummed I can’t find the Grinch video. Did you by chance remove it?

The Image effect at 23:47 works like a color picker/extractor tool. An algorithm will scan the image and select a few prominent colors from the image itself, then map them to LED colors that the lights can display.

There should be a toggle button on the list page for each auto play in the list as well as in the curtain control area on the auto play row next to Go Create. The button is shown in the video when you go to the permanent lights section.

Great video. Question, I put my outdoor lights on a schedule to turn on and off at specific times. How can I put the default light settings so when they turn on automatically they can turn on to a specific mode I want rather than just basic white, forcing me to manually change it every day to the mode I want it to be on

Thanks for the tutorial, I am trying to set up an NHL Oilers marquee for game nights, and I can’t figure out how to use the custom NHL Oilers colours in my DYI, can you help? I built one, but I feel the colours are off

[artarealmblazer]

Can you confirm the max number of lights that can be synced? I thought it was three but I saw some video that said it was updated to five.

[erumshakil]

I can’t find the diy option, I do have it but when I click on that mode all it does it give me randomly generated diys, it doesn’t let me customize at all

[ArabellaPottery]

On th ecurtains can you demo the timer. I can't get it to turn on and off when I want it to. Thanks

[charmainejohnson]

Thank you this is a greta video. I have 3 curtains. For reasons unknown to me one is not showing up as an option to splice. Any ideas on what I can do or why that would be?

[JoyStickJester_]

Thanks for the tutorial. I made the 49er one 4:25 and let me tell you it took hours to create. It honestly should not take that long to do but I am a noob at this.

As for doing layers 9:50 can you please explain how to do this? I can't figure that out. Like I said I created the 49er one and in my DIY I have a scrolling text of some of the players on the team and would like to put more on there but not sure how the layers option works

[THIRTY-THR]

You can sync all of your permanent outdoor lights I have 3 separate 450ft boxes installed on my house. It's at least 18-20 strands all around my house.

You have to create a group..

1. Go to Home tab (top left)
2. Scroll to bottom to group
3. Create a group (same model group type has more functions)

Thanks for the info! Do you know of a tutorial or resource for the advanced diy "workshop" mode on the Explore tab? The terms used aren't very clear to me.

[kratoz]

Why text is not showing on my app? I’m using iPhone 😢

[SLChill]

Nice. Is it ok to play with 2 sets only with the preset scene?

[velovloger]

Do you know what size pixel set up for 1 curtain? This way I can set something up for one two or three is it the first dimension you mention the 60 x 26 pixel? This video was a huge help the govee app and instructions leave a lot to be desired. They should really but some development into an online app or computer app that you can do designed and preview them without having to go outside and see how they look.
