After getting one of these for our rumpus room, we ended up getting a second for our basement: we don't even really need the RGB and smarts down there tbh, we were just so impressed by how crazy bright this gets and the cute little halo around it that adds subtle character.
The govee app really took awhile to warm up to me. I still think it looks and feels kinda janky compared to Hue… but the thing is, govee has always been rock solid in my use and I've never ran into any problems with it unlike my Hue ones.
As a smart light, I like that it handles disconnects well. When the wall outlet switches off, it retains its setting and will use the same settings when I power it back on. No waiting, no lag, no glitch… which is something the Hue this replaced in the basement really struggled with.
The selection of white color tones is excellent. A almost limitless number of options. I was able to match the basement pot lights exactly.
And I've been very happy with the connectivity. I run an ecclatic mix of Google Home, Smartthings and Home Asssistant and have bee able to get these integrated and working well with automations.
Would absolutely recommend these.
