If you have a usability issue please send me a PM so i can see if i can make it better. For me they just seem to work well, but i kno w exactly how i coded it to work.
I would always suggest comparing the prices 3 ways for govee.
- Check amazon
- Govees own store
- Govee's savy store in the mobile app. (After you get a few devices)
I would always suggest looking for sales that happen frequently. Generally one of them will have devices on sale to lower the price sting a far amount.
Items will also go on sale on regular intervals so you may be able to just wait a few weeks and get itema cheaper as well.
There basics RGBIC strip is on sale for 25.99 doesn't seem to bad. As i recall the GLEDOPTO controller alone was frequently more then that the last time i looked.
Or this strip which has beed documented to support LAN API.
This is the equivalent zigbee one i found today on Amazon.
