GOVEE! Why is the Shortcuts/TapToRun brightness nowhere near as bright as the Home/illumination brightness?
What’s up with my brightness settings and how do I fix it??
I’ve had 2 Govee lightbulbs screwed into my bedroom ceiling fan for a few years now. I had a setting that temperature matched the rest of my house and a slightly warmer temperature that was less annoying for my eyes. Plus the random creative colors that I don’t really use as frequently, usually just at night, so I don’t really care about how bright they are and stuff.
These settings I have set up have all been in the Shortcuts Panel tab/Tap to Run. The app used to have a super different interface than it does now when I initially made them, so idk if that’s my issue and I’m just dumb or what.
My problem started when I noticed one light bulb was flickering, so I rescrewed it but it was still flickering, and only on the specific color setting that matches my regular lightbulbs around the house, so I figured it’s not the bulb itself, just the color. I know the color settings can be pretty finicky so I thought I’d just slightly change it, no big deal. Well I did that and now the flickering stopped, but the brightness is way low, even though it is set to 100% like the other bulb. And any time I try to make a new Tap to Run shortcut, the brightness is nowhere near as bright as the old Tap to Run shortcuts I made years ago.
Whenever I go into the Home tab and change the brightness to each individual bulb, THEN it goes to 100% fine like normal/the original actually bright way. BUT, it doesn’t let me save those settings into a Tap to Run shortcut. (I don’t remember exactly, but I think this was possible before in the older version of the app? I could be wrong though)
So like…Wtf do I do? Do I have to change each individual bulb setting whenever I want my lights on now??? Why is the Shortcut 100% brightness not equal to the Home 100% brightness?
