Hi Eric, nice one thx. I have the non-matter version of this outside for some accent lighting and also some of their garden lights. Govee has been my go-to for “easy to set up lights” - love their stuff 👍🏼
It’s beautiful, my house is running out of “plugs” for Govee. My house was built in 1955. 😂 ,
I’m looking forward to the day when a product like this appears on the market that can bend in three dimensions.
You could like make an archway out of colored lights!

Great video Eric, would love to try something like this with my daughter’s room. Have you experienced issues with the matter over WiFi aspect yet? Also, are you continuing your live stream on Fridays?
Matter over Wi-Fi works fine for me with these lights. It is not in a weak area for Wi-Fi if that helps. My stairs are in the center of my home. Yes I will be live streaming on Friday. I ended up with two Fridays off in a row due to schedule conflicts.
I like the Govee products I have, but so much of their stuff is pure “wow value” and I’m still trying to get all the necessary light switches and outlets smart. No room in the budget for cool stuff yet. Maybe one day.
Thanks for the perspective. I agree they are wow value, but I think accent lights like this are sometimes better to automate than main lights. They still add light in the dark but do not remove manual control of overhead lights from people you live with that aren't into smart home tech.
Would this work to be used behind the TV.
I guess. Govee and Nanoleaf have products more designed for that to actually mimic the colors on the TV. This has Govee DreamView so it should theoretically be able to integrate with any of those Govee systems.
It is able to be cut to a shorter length?
No it is not
wtf is matter?
