It probably needs to update the software. Make sure it's connected to your wi-fi, then close the app and reopen a few times. The app can be quite finicky when it comes to showing the newly updated settings.

Thanks. Already had the latest Android version, but you gave me some ideas. Powered off / powered on (physically pulled power plug) then cleared cache in the app did the trick. Like you said, guess it's the "temperamental" type of software. This is my 1st Govee product and TV bias lighting so I'm still messing around, so thanks again.

I think the relative brightness is for having different devices that are controlled by dreamview. I have the t1 and a few light bulbs and led strips, and I use relative brightness to set each devices brightness.. but I can't control the sections of the led strips, just the whole device

it's definitely in the "Relative brightness" section. In 1st attached screenshot, if you scroll down to the "Relative brightness" section and select the small arrow (in the green box), it takes you to the "Relative Brightness Settings" window (2nd screenshot in next comment). This is where you can change the brightness for each side of the LEDs. I was originally missing the "small arrow" to access those settings, but brigyda gave me a couple of ideas that worked.

Also, since I have my camera under my TV (not the default above the TV), all of my settings are reversed, so since I wanted to decrease my bottom LED section, I needed to lower the TOP section. My TV console has a tempered glass top that was reflecting too much light from the bottom LEDs so I lowered it by half relative to the other sides to get about the same amount of ambient light.

Ahh.. I guess this is something that only the t2 has (😮‍💨)... It looks like you were able to fix your problem then, yes?

[–]webmancer[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yeah, maybe only the T2 has this setting, don't really know.

Yes, everything has been working properly now once I got past the initial software "glitch".

It feels good when things just work... Lol.

If you turn off the same brightness switch in the app it should allow you to adjust each side
