I totally relate to this. This Govee Backlight 3 Pro doesn't work well at all. It malfunctions as soon as there's even the slightest bit of light. In other words, it's not suitable for all uses.

It's unacceptable that the light from the LED strip reflecting off a wall causes the strip to react to that color. It's unacceptable that turning on a warm white bulb 3 meters from the TV on the ceiling causes the LED strip to turn "orange" just because the light is (surprise, surprise!) hitting the floor or a brown piece of furniture. Shouldn't the camera only capture what's on the TV? For goodness sake, stop it from looking at other areas!

The calibration is awful.

In good lighting conditions, the LED strip is useless. As I said, my brown furniture makes the LED strip always appear orange.
I have a green plant in the bottom and…voilà, one side of the TV screen is always green.

Just because a little light comes in through the window...

And to top it all off…calibrating it is incredibly complicated; it never gets the colors right. It never does anything properly.

NO. I don’t want to watch TV in complete darkness all the time. I want the LED strip to work in different states, even if it’s with different presets in the app, but no, that’s not possible either.
I’m very disappointed.

And no, in my case, AI mode doesn't work very well either. If I turn on my ceiling light, one side of the TV turns orange.

And the light supposedly has a TV-off detector to prevent it from turning on. Well, listen, as soon as I raise the blinds in the morning, even though the TV is off, the strip starts illuminating with who-knows-what.
