Govee Changing Bluetooth Dimmable Assistant Reviews Summary

Product Reliability

Pros:

• "We have had Govee bulbs for a couple years now and nothing has shorted or stopped working."
• "First off what you get for the price is amazing!"
• "These are holding strong."
• "Have been through the cync, geeni, Philips etc but these Govee lights are the best. No constant connection issues, easy to use app and integration into google home."
• "I am a huge fan of Govee lights and use them around my home."
• "I absolutely love these products. All of Govee products are solid gold."
• "They are all of excellent quality and very reliable."

Cons:

• "I bought Govee bulbs thinking the brand was good, but I have been disappointed within 2 months of using the bulbs, one of them recently began turning on by itself, changing the color by itself."
• "The light bulbs have a faulty memory. They often don't remember the last light setting that they were on."
• "both sets that I ordered have an issue with randomly turning on after they've been turned off."
• "I don't know If I'm unlucky or if they have poor quality control. The lights flicker like in a dance club but faster over 100 times a minute."
• "Light bulbs flicker constantly."
• "The bulbs will start to flicker after a month and then not work after 2."
• "One of two didn't work right out of the box."

App Usability

Pros:

• "The Govee app excels in creating highly specific lighting effects, efficiently managing multiple lightbulbs of both the same and different types, and effectively handling lighting schedules."
• "Works great with the app and other devices."
• "The app is easy to use."
• "The app is pretty easy to use and being able to use Google to change the colors and turn the lights on and off is perfect."
• "Connecting to the Wi-Fi via the app was pretty easy."
• "Easy setup with wifi."
• "The app is easy to use, it took me all of 15 seconds per bulb to set them up with google home."

Cons:

• "Only complaint is the app is not extremely intuitive and takes some getting used to."
• "The dimming performance is poor; the bulbs hardly dim at all."
• "Only downside is the app comes with too much 'extras' adds for things you must pay for or extra downloads, can get confusing."
• "Bluetooth for these SUCK. They never stay Connected and never stay Synced to the schedule you’ve set. They will randomly stay on and randomly shut off."
• "The way the app is setup is not the most efficient."
• "I continue to be disappointed with how difficult the app is to use."
• "It asks me to update the app when no update is available, so the only form of control I have for these is by going into the app and doing everything manually via bluetooth."

Integration with Smart Home Devices

Pros:

• "The seamless integration with smart home platforms like Alexa and Google Assistant also ensures a hassle-free setup and control using voice commands."
• "It's great because we can have our own individual light preferences or we can set them up to work together."
• "I had a Phillips version of smart lights that routinely would not wake up or were disconnected from my home WIFI. I replace them with these Govee lights, and they have operated seamlessly."
• "They also work flawlessly with Amazon Alexa and even Apple Shortcuts."
• "These Govees seamlessly integrate with my smart home setup."
• "They work with my Alexa and I love the automation features."
• "They integrate swell with other Govee products like the TV LED Dreamview."

Cons:

• "Govee bulbs did not link with Alexa."
• "Only downside is if someone has the app open on their phone, the other can't connect and control the bulb at the same time."
• "I bought this product when on a lightening sale for around $12.00. They do work great to eliminate the issues with timers."
• "Cannot proceed to use the functions without creating an account with the company... for a light bulb?!"
• "I received the item and tried to connect to Alexa but it needs to go to thru a 3rd party app, govee."
• "The light is amazing and does all the things that you wanted to do but connecting it with Alexa has been a trial."
• "So these lights are not very compatible with Google home first of all."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "First off what you get for the price is amazing!"
• "I bought this product when on a lightening sale for around $12.00. They do work great to eliminate the issues with timers."
• "These ones work with WiFi without a hub, are equally as bright, and less than half the price."
• "The pricing on these is great too."
• "Just buy affordable plus it’s a nice addition to the house or wherever and you can also control it on your phone any color or brightness and more."
• "For the smart bulbs, these seem to be a better quality than other brands."
• "Definitely great bang for your buck."

Cons:

• "10x more expensive than a regular lightbulb, but no different."
• "You have to pay a monthly fee to use the app with the bulb and change colors ... I basically paid for a really expensive light bulb."
• "Everything is quite pricey."
• "Great buy and value. Why pay $100s for Philips Hue and other high priced items when these do the same thing?"
• "What they failed to mention in this product description is the fact that in order to use this light for anything besides regular light mode you must sign up for a $12 a month app."
• "The bulbs will start to flicker after a month and then not work after 2."
• "The smart strip lights on the other hand have had 2 controllers fail so far."
