I’ve genuinely become fan of Govee over the last few years. Like, 5 to 10 years ago we didn’t have this much of options or even none to add ambiance into our living environments Great review by the way 👍👏🤝
Also, other users have found that some new products have access to Workshop from the device page specifically, and can easily import Workshop DIYs from the community section.
Oh my god you actually mentioned Music Creation Mode! Hardly anyone ever bothers to look into that stuff! Govee has said they won’t be adding Music Creation to any new lights, so maybe there will be those options in the DIY. Sometimes you see music stuff in the DIY section instead.
So right now the pro can't do matter although it does have all of the requirements, including a QR code. Once it gets the full update, which is slated for some time this year, it will be. But keep in mind that matter doesn't allow the effects to be controlled in those other apps. It's just basic control. But I did get the floor lamp 2 working in SmartThings! That lamp already has its matter update
I really struggled to choose one, was between cylinder and floor lamp 2. But I got both from Amazon to try out to see which one i prefer, or if still too difficult i may just keep both.
Just watched x2 other videos about these lights and, as always, your video is so much more informative and interesting. Just wish Govee products could be incorporated into SmartThings. With how Matter is at the minute I’d sooner have them visible in the platform of choice and not rely on Matter is possible. Are they visible to Homey as just trying to decide whether to go the Homey IR HA route as currently use SmartThings and Alexa but they are becoming restrictive in what I’m after.
Thanks Rich! We try! Glad some folks like it. 😃 Yeah I wish Govee would get some more integrations worked out too. Matter isn't a big help for the great stuff they do.... I've managed to bring them into Honey a couple ways. Through a homebridge (don't like reliability yet...though it's probably my fault), and through the Govee API (doesn't give effects). Oh and Matter ;) Both are OK, but not the integration we need.
Hey Brian, thanks for the video. I have a question, is it possible for the floor lamp pro to be seen in google home as a speaker? I usually run Spotify on a home group of all my speakers and this would be a cool addition if it can be used like that.
Sadly you can't. However, you could Bluetooth pair it to a Google speaker you're not using :) That might be a really great way to do this. It seems to stay paired really well to speakers, etc. :)
Thanks for the awesome review as always. I’ve got a good one for ya. I’m building a Skoolie (40ft school bus to RV conversion) and I’m looking for a recommendation for good LED lighting. It would all need to run on 12v DC. Any good path you could send me down? I’m all in on Echo ecosystem.
Oof tough! You move that RV without solid internet and anything Alexa is gonna stop working. So maybe it's time to look at a local hub and a zigbee/z-wave version that works off 12 V. You may even be hard pressed to find that combo (as nothing comes to mind). So it might be a wled type of deal!
@@AutomateYourLifeAll valid considerations. We’ll be living in it stationary most of the time, and have mobile Starlink for internet wherever we are. Thank you! Love your content.
Hi, 66200 lux for lyrq 2 and only 23000 for lyra pro : really ? The différence is big. Lyra 2 or lyra pro : What is the Best choice for you ? Thanks...
I think just keep in mind that those measurements are happening physically on the device and are just related to the specific bead power. They are not the overall brightness which you can see the measurements from Govee themselves on our spreadsheet The best looking is the pro and that is probably what I would be buying for my own house.
Thank you very much for your advice, it’s nice of you to have written this long answer. Congratulations to your informative channel. Hello from France !
Thing is, for lighting a room (as opposed to accent lighting) without good quality light in terms of CRI and flickering, none of the other features matter 😕
Always been tempted by these!
They're a lot of fun!

Thanks for sharing!
You....light up my life.....
That's why I do it

Nice job, Brian. I have two Lyras behind tall plants in a couple of corners of my house and like 'em a lot.
Excellent! Thanks Hugh!
It's a shame that you couldn't put an FL Pro on either side of the TV and have them play a stereo source from the TV. Maybe someday in the future?
I know! Maybe some day...but they'd have to solve the Bluetooth single pairing issue. If they do though...😃😃😃

We're thorough ;)
Is the pro matter compatible? Cause that should hopefully work with smarthings

@@AutomateYourLife Excellent info! Looking forward to that update. Thank you for all the information.
I have 2 cylinder lamps and really like them
They are just fantastic! Glad you're loving them!
I really struggled to choose one, was between cylinder and floor lamp 2. But I got both from Amazon to try out to see which one i prefer, or if still too difficult i may just keep both.
You're going to have a tough time! 🤣🤣
@AutomateYourLife Yeah gonna be an unhappy wife one way or another 😂
Is the cylinder brighter than the pro floor light?
I'm going to refer you to the spreadsheet we talked about. It is more complicated than just one is brighter than the other
Can two pro lamps sync the same music from my TV or my Alexa
Yep! Really well with Music Dreamview
Got 2 ordered. Wish I could pair them in stereo mode. Maybe a firmware update could add this..would like to request feature
I requested it too!
I tryed to buy the Pro model tonight and it would use your discount.
Oh no. I'll ask....
@@AutomateYourLife Ok, If you fix it, I'll order tomorrow.

Honestly only the cylinder floor lamp is unique. All the others are just simple silicon light strip on an ugly pole.
Maybe you couldn't tell but the Lamp Pro is not an ugly stick. That thing looks incredible
Yeah except the practicality is kinda not there. It looks kinda cool but for dream view it’s kinda limited. I prefer the Lyra over it honestly.
Hello, do you know, tell me their voltage, they are bivolt 110v and 220v
110 - 240 V AC on all adapters I've seen
So can’t I put 2 floor lamps pro on each side of my tv and play something from the tv, even if my tv let’s me connect 2 Bluetooth speakers?
oh maybe it would in that case! I don't have a TV like that!
If I end up getting them I’ll let you know if I enjoyed a movie or cried myself to sleep 😂
@@osqa6055 ahahahahaha
I would assume it's just fine if it can connect to 2 Bluetooth speakers!
Is there a reason all you reviewers aren’t comparing it to the Lyra? Ya know the one that’s the supposed “upgrade”??
The Lyra is replaced by this reviews Govee Lamp 2. That's the new Lyra

The pro is 90+ :)
Govee's colors are amazing
Ok.. complete impulse buy. Just grabbed 2 pros to replace my basics. Let's see how I like them in my setup
Good luck! They're great!
And PS...if you're using the basics, you will be blown away
Govee has to stop releasing new lights. I could open a store with the amount of lights I have now. 🙄
🤣🤣🤣
Can't help you there
@@AutomateYourLife Does GoFundMe support light addictions?
Come on who are you kidding @4:49 you knew someone was watching so you did not put your legs up on the table to read as you normally do.
LOL you are 100% right! 🤣🤣
Is the cylinder lamp going to get matter?
Not as of now!
