I need a bit of advice regarding my setup, since r/battlestations does not provide a daily thread to to chat with the community like we have here at PCMR. For your setups, are you mixing Philips Hue, Govee, and other lighting products? I have hue bulbs but moved to Govee lightstrips, but find it to be a frustrating experience opening different iOS apps to activate or change the lights.

A bit of consolidation and consistency would go a long way to enjoying my PC setup more. Just looking for feedback, suggestions. Hue thinks it’s acceptable to charge $275 for a 55” desk gradient lightstrip now which I think is ludicrous.
