Permanent Lights for Deck

[wiegout]

Any try to integrate Enbrighten Eternity lights such as these? Enbrighten WiFi VIBE Color-Changing Permanent Outdoor Eternity Eave Li

I have a dead section of Govee outdoor lights on my deck and would rather not give Govee more money to let me down... Looking at alternatives that would be controllable through Hubitat.
Thanks,
Jay

I'm not sure about the Enbrighten's, but you could always look at LIFX (LIFX Outdoor Permanent Lights 50ft) or Nanoleaf (Nanoleaf Matter Smart Multicolor Permanent Outdoor Lights | RGBWIC Smart LED Bulbs). Both are Matter via WiFi and there is also a LIFX integration that might work too.

I installed Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights (Pro). There's a built-in integration for them, but I prefer @mavrrick58's integration, available here:

Govee Integration V2

Going forward I wanted to separate the V1 and V2 versions to help with clarity and documentation. Please use this thread to reference the V2 version going forward This new version of the Govee Integration brings with it a few important things. We now have access to a new Govee API that was released in December of 2023. This api brings along allot of new features and commands to enhance our ability to use our devices. Standardized code to ensure that one change fixes problems across all device…

What happened? Did you reach out to their support to see if they could do anything for you. I had a issue with one of my Lyra Lamps and they did a good job of taking care of me.

I’ll see what they say. It’s 6 months past the 12 month warranty.

Well, they put me through the "turn the power off for 10 minutes" and "crawl under the deck to get to the controller and push reset" fun and then said,

Kind of what I expected to be honest. So, I have to decide if/when to replace these on my deck. Considering doing something completely different like the these but not sure if the lighting would be as good under the deck rail as under an eave.

If anyone has tried that kind of lighting on a deck, I'd like to see pictures!

Thanks,
Jay

This seems a bit weird since these type of lights don't typically dye in sections, Usually you will have 1 light that goes dead OR from one light up to the end of the section and that is pretty much it. Having a section in the middle of a string dye would most likely be a controller issue. If you are a good with electronics, I would suggest trying to remove the Govee controller and using a WLED controller instead and maybe revive the whole string ?
