Exploring Govee Garden Lights and Smart Home Integration

I’ve been really excited about the new Govee Garden Lights that are now available in the U.S.! :star2: These lights seem perfect for adding some ambiance to my outdoor space. The specs look impressive—RGBICWW technology, 94 CRI, and IP66 waterproofing. I’m curious to see how the 64 preset scenes will work in real life and if they can be customized further through the app. One thing I’ve been struggling with is integrating different smart home devices, especially Z-wave ones. I recently tried setting up a Z-wave repeater for a lock in my detached garage, but it hasn’t been working as expected. The repeater I bought doesn’t seem to have the beaming capability I need. Has anyone found a reliable outdoor Z-wave module that can handle this? I’d love to hear any recommendations or tips! On a lighter note, I’ve been enjoying my Wyze cameras lately. They’ve been super reliable, and the app updates have added some nice features. However, I did notice a weird issue where one of my cameras shows a persistent compass-looking circle with a big dot in the corner. It’s only on one device and doesn’t interfere with functionality, but it’s a bit distracting. I’m wondering if it’s a software glitch or something I can fix through settings. Another project I’ve been working on is trying to integrate my Logitech Harmony Elite remote with some Z-wave switches and thermostats. I know Logitech used to have an add-on for this, but since they discontinued it, I’m not sure if there’s a workaround. The goal is to control my lights and maybe adjust the thermostat without having to use multiple remotes. If anyone has successfully done something similar, I’d love to hear how you approached it! Overall, I’m really enjoying the journey of building my smart home ecosystem. It’s a mix of excitement and occasional challenges, but the community support makes it all worth it. Thanks to everyone who shares their experiences and tips—I truly appreciate it! :pray:
