Hey everyone! I wanted to share my recent experience with integrating music mode into my outdoor lighting setup. It’s been a journey of trial and error, but the results are truly magical. 
I’ve been working on my outdoor show since before Halloween, and I must say, it’s come a long way. I’ve got a variety of light groups set up—everything from house strings to spotlights, and even some ground lights. The challenge I faced was getting all these groups to react to music seamlessly. I was hoping the quick keys would handle this, but it seems they only work with DIY scenes or reactive modes, not the specific music settings I had configured for each device. 
Currently, I have 10 groups to manage, which means every time I want to switch to sound reaction mode, I have to go through each group individually. It’s a bit tedious, but I’m determined to find a solution. I’ve been using two music sync boxes, but they aren’t as responsive as I’d like. Maybe I need to explore more advanced settings or look into custom scripts to automate this process. 
In the meantime, I’ve been experimenting with different light modes and scenes. One of my favorites is the Coral Sea mode, which adds a relaxing underwater vibe to my aquarium setup. Pairing this with the Deep Sea color scheme has created a calming atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day. 
I also wanted to mention my recent upgrade to Govee’s outdoor lights. The new strip lights are a game-changer, and the 40% discount they offered in the U.S. made it even more appealing. I’m hoping Govee will extend this kind of deal to other regions soon!
If anyone has tips on how to streamline the music mode integration or suggestions for better reactive lighting, I’d love to hear them. Let’s keep the creativity flowing!
