I’ve been diving into the world of smart lighting lately, and it’s been an exciting journey!
I recently picked up a couple of Govee smart lights, and I must say, their design is absolutely stunning. They feel super solid and stable, which is a huge plus for me. I’ve been using them with DreamView, and the integration has been seamless. The only thing I’m torn about is which room to place them in—my living room or my office? ![]()
On the other hand, I’ve been struggling with getting my Plugwise Lisa to work with the Plugwise app. It’s frustrating because it shows up in the Zigbee Support app but lacks some key functionalities. I’ve heard great things about the HomeWizard P1 meter, but it’s Wi-Fi only, which doesn’t play well with my Homey setup. I’m now considering the Frient Electricity P1 device, but I’m not sure if it’ll integrate better. Any insights from the community would be super helpful! ![]()
Another thing I’ve been curious about is setting up a simple automation scene. I used to rely on my Wink Relay for this, but now I’m trying to replicate that with SharpTools. My goal is to create an icon that, when clicked, turns off most of my lights, dims a few, and locks my door—all in one go. It sounds straightforward, but I’m hitting some walls. If anyone has tips or tricks, I’d be eternally grateful! ![]()
Lastly, I’ve been exploring the idea of using smart lighting for spiritual wellness. The concept of chakra-aligned lighting is fascinating—imagine transitioning through colors like red for the root chakra to violet for the crown! It would be amazing if Govee could offer pre-set modes or integrate with meditation apps. Would anyone else love to see this feature? Let’s light up our inner worlds! ![]()
