Govee Outdoor Wall Light H7075 The only way I could get it on Hubitat was by LAN setup. It's not on the list so that would explain why it wont work. I have the permanent outdoor lights on the device selection but the wall light does not show up. Am I missing something or is the wall light not compatible yet?
@mavrrick58 might help with this
It should be compatible. I have 3 of them and they are added with the Govee Integration V2.
On the Standard Device Setup screen did you click the button to refresh the device list.
I have same with the new Ground Outdoor lights in that they only install manually; no issues though.
Those wall lights you have are next on my wish list.
It was me Thought I added Govee Integration V2. When you said refresh the device list and I didn't have one answered my question. up and running now. Thank You
The wall lights are nice and easy to install. No that I got them on Hubitat I'm going to start playing with them.
I have really liked them. The effects work really well so far as I have tested with them.
They are bright and work much brighter then my previous outside lights. I actually run them much lower then full brightness throughout the night. They also support matter so that is another install option.
The preloaded scenes are available for LAN API as I added them in one of the recent releases.
I already have the Permanent Outdoor, Ground Lights V2, and the Path Lights and we are by far the brightest house in the neighborhood. I don't know if the neighbors or my wife could handle even more colorful LEDs on my house. I can't wait until next week and the Red, White and Blue LEDs for the 4th.
I am also doing the same for the 3 currently installed.
Same here.. 2 Ourdoor LED Strips, a String of Xams lights across the front porch, Smart Ground Lights v1, these outdoor wall lights. Lively Lights in the from port windows and a curtain light in a big window facing forward. If I turn them all on to white light I feel like it turns night into day in the front yard. It is a small yard though.
The white lights look a little purple in photo. The path lights are in the back of flower bed up next to porch railing so you can't see the actual light body.
That it what turns on at sunset. At 10pm, all of the LEDs across top of house, the Ground Lights, and Path Lights turn off. The LEDs over garage and 3 LEDs over front door & each window downstairs stay on all night. Everything is at about 30% brightness.
Next to the garage door, you can see a light just itching to be replaced by the Govee Wall Lights.
I want to install one of the wall lights at location shown in picture to replace existing light. It's on vinyl siding so uneven therefore the wall ight won't sit flush and I can't apply caulk to prevent water intrusion. I haven't seen a mounting block large enough for entire width and length of Govee unit. Any chance one of you successfully installed on uneven vinyl siding?
I saw Chris Mayer install one on vinyl siding on YouTube but he was under his roof overhang so water intrusion shouldn't be an issue.
I asked Govee through the My Issues in the app and they're brilliant answer was "I suggest you place a tablet behind it for proper installation." No further explanation.
@mavrrick58 How do you get help from real people at Govee instead of worthless AI bots?
Have you taken that current fixture off the wall to see what is behind it. Do you have a electrical box behind it that creates the vertical flat surface? It looks like the current fixture is about 1/4" off the wall as it is. Do you have the Govee Outdoor Wall Light already?
Honestly I would use my 3d printer to create a plate to go between the siding and the Outdoor Light fixture if it bothered me. I know that is potentially not useful for you. If that is a option for you just make sure you use the proper material as PLA is would likely be problematic in this use case. I had to do something similar for a Video Doorbell I installed recently.
Of the 3 I have 2 of them are on brick and the other is on a square block on my back porch. The one on my black porch does overhang past the block, but it doesn't look bad. Honestly I didn't worry about water intrusion myself. The previous fixture didn't have calk or anything like that so I didn't put anything else there either.
I asked for one set and got 2 for Christmas so this would be installing in a location that I didn't originally plan. I have already installed 2 on either side of garage successfully that is flat brick.
In my brainstorming, one of my thoughts was to finally use this to see if I could copy the curve of siding onto a piece of wood and cut w/ jigsaw or router.
I understand why I don't want water coming in from top and getting on the wiring from house but is the Govee light built such that water can get in the sides on the lower 2/3 to 1/2 of the unit? If not, I have nothing to worry about and can protect the top and top 1/3 of each side w/ silicon caulk using a normal block like this:
If i remember right the main unit is fairly well sealed. The only opening of any kind was the spot where the power wires are. I also seem to remember a lip from the mounting plat to the actual light so that would limit water ingress as well. At least that is what I remember. It has been a good amount of time since I mounted mine
Your plan seems like a good idea to me. I would leave the lower half without any to seal it. In many cases designs include a drainage method to allow any water that does manage to get in to leave easily.
That is exactly what I assume. I only need to keep water from entering at the house wiring. I think I will give it a shot.
