Govee Home

It's competent and fairly feature-complete. Some things I'd like to see changed are: 1. Give us an option to enter a numerical value for brightness levels of lights. The slider is too imprecise. 2. Give us an option to enter a specific hexadecimal value for color, or at least a proper color picker. The current color picker is entirely predefined colors, and while there is a good selection, there is sometimes a difference in colors between two different devices, so color would need to be offset.

2 star app until 6.1 update. UI is confusing. Feels like each section was designed by a different team. No consistency with menus/features between sections. Sometimes you use icons at the top or bottom. Sometimes you scroll icons midway down the section. BUT 6.1 update brought a huge increase in responsiveness between app and light. 1sec down from 5+ So once go through the headache of getting everything in the app, groups, automation etc the app is useful

The app is overly complicated to use. There are too many ways to choose colors, but it took multiple steps and locations in the app just to set up a simple schedule of on and off with a certain color scheme and in the evening based on the sunset time. The "effects" section just seems to show more color choices and no effects. To me an effect color changing sequence, flash, fade or smooth fade effect. I use an app with smart bulbs and outlets in my home already and that app is really simple.
