Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to set up and functions as should. Takes a little setup in the app, nothing difficult. This item fits on a keychain or in your pocket.

Button controller is great and makes controlling your govee products just that much more convenient. Works with most govee products as long as you have one that creates a gateway like one of their switches. Btw, can create elaborate automations, notif...  Read More

Shipping

    This was not in the written instructions but i found it under troubleshooting online


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is a little lag and sometimes you have to press the button twice


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For the most part it works without issue every now and then ill press one of the buttons and it either doesnt do anything or is delayed by several seconds


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Besides that i have no other complaints we have it near our bed so we can turn lights on or off if its outside of our scheduled automations and have one set to trigger a sleep schedule on a strand of lights to cause it to gradually dim


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Their older wifi strips respond a bit slow with this but still usable


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
