My first thought about it's camera setup was: "inelegant", but the more I thought about how much a pita HDMI versioning and copy protection and splitting was, the more elegant the analog loophole seemed.Įnd of the day though, this still seems like something of a gimmick. And it costs something like half this price. One of my buddies got a Govee(?) which is basically the same setup but instead of using an HDMI splitter, it bypasses all of that by mounting a tiny camera above your tv that monitors what colours are being displayed on it. Now, if it adapted to the speed and color changes on the screen, then that would be awesome. It’s one or the other which got too annoying to eventually use for daily use. So a movie with some intense action scenes you’d want the light setting to update quickly, and slowly dialing scenes you’d want them to blend more slowly. You can only set one setting in the app and it stays on that. The Sync box doesn’t have the ability to adapt to faster or slower moving scene in a movie. a few weeks later you regret this insanely expensive purchase. and after you have it all looking cool and awesome. Then lights work as they should.īut after all that. Open the app (Yes yet another separate app for this ughh) and turn off. So every time i pause a movie, half my room is dark because those Synv’d lights wont do what the rest of the group is being told to do. So for example, if you are syncing 5 of your 10 lights in that room group, only 5 will do what you want them to like turn on and display the color and brightness you want. Then you find out that when the Hue Sync Box is active, your other “room lights” in that Specific room group dont react to the Hue being On and Syncing. You find out it still to this day - even with the so-called updates - has trouble with the black 16:9 bars at the top and bottom of movies unless they’re formatted a very specific way - this makes the “top” and “Bottom” lights unreliable and usually off. You find out only certain Hue Color lights can work with it - not all of them. When i could buy it, i jumped right on it.īut then. When i first saw this demo’ed i was blown away and thought it was so cool. A really expensive, short lived, eventually annoying toy to impress guests
