Requires a Govee account and the app requires too much permission
In order to change the colors of the bulbs, you have to download an app that requires way too many permissions on your device, right down to your camera and precise location. But, before you can even run the app, you have to register for a Govee account. All this access to my device, all this access to my personal information. If a light bulb requires a Privacy Policy, I'm not interested. Returning immediately.
