After experimenting with my Govee Immersion LED strips, I wanted to share some exciting findings and tips for fellow smart home enthusiasts! ![]()
First, I stumbled upon a clever hack to install these LED strips on my 43" TV. While it voids the warranty, the results are stunning! The immersive backlighting creates an incredible home theater experience. I followed a guide from YouTube and took extra precautions to avoid damaging the strips. If you’re considering this, make sure to double-check the alignment and secure everything properly. Safety first! ![]()

Another topic I’ve been exploring is integrating OpenHAB with various smart devices. I recently acquired a Dreame D10s Plus vacuum cleaner, but it’s only compatible with DreameHome. I’ve been researching ways to connect it to OpenHAB through data spoofing or MQTT. Has anyone successfully integrated a Dreame vacuum into their OpenHAB setup? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! ![]()

On the camera front, I’ve been using Wyze cameras for outdoor surveillance. However, I’ve noticed the battery life is quite short—only lasting 2-3 days. I’m curious if others have found reliable solutions to extend battery life or if there’s a better alternative for low-maintenance outdoor cameras. ![]()

Lastly, I wanted to mention the fun I’ve been having with Govee’s Hidden Treasure Hunt game. It’s a fantastic way to engage with their products and imagine what their vacation island concept could be like! If Govee ever turns this into a real destination, I’ll definitely be one of the first to visit. ![]()
