All year.
House With The Lights is a year-round, low-touch residential smart-lighting display built primarily around Govee products and operated through the Govee app. The same installed lighting is reused across holidays, events, game days, and everyday architectural scenes.

02 / How it syncs
One music source.
Two independent layers.
The Govee lights and moving heads both react to the same music, but they're controlled separately. The iPad and Govee app control the Govee layer, not the moving heads.

More Halloween light, from the garage to the porch.
All four tombstones are running
All four tombstones are now set up and working. Their WS2811 12mm bullet lights use an SP107E controller and an SP901E data splitter, with a 3.5mm audio feed from our WiiM Mini group.
Four blacklight floods on the porch
Four XYCN 200W blacklight floods, model Black-200w-4, now accent the porch. They bring out the green glow of the fabric and skeletons against the purple-lit entryway.
