  Quite decent for the money. This one is powered via USB cable, the lighting is quite good, and the app that connects to the strip is very well made and easy to use. I wholeheartedly recommend VFM

  Guys, I have another LED strip behind the TV, which okay, does its job more or less. However, it annoys me that every time it powers on, it starts the circus and flashes in a program with all the colors, while I had it set to a steady light when I turned off the TV. I would be interested to know if this Gosund strip remembers the last setting when I turn on the TV. My question is this: Does it turn on where I left it (on a steady light) or does it also start flashing? 2 stars because I don't have an opinion yet.

  For its price, it is the ultimate value for money. It sticks perfectly, has instructions, a good app, and connects immediately to WiFi. I don't know what someone would want more than a movie for 5-7€...

  On my TV, when I have it on, it sometimes flickers in brightness, but it might be because of the USB or the connection. I will check and get back to you.

  Update: Money wasted. I would have been better off burning the money in a fireplace that I don't have. It flickers like a candle flame. It's garbage.

  Yes, it has a light but that's about it. It constantly disconnects and you need to get an adapter to plug it into a regular socket. For example, if you connect it to the USB port of the TV, the power is not enough, resulting in constant interruptions. As for the connectivity with Alexa, it's simply ridiculous. It only supports 2.4 GHz, so in order to connect it, you have to turn off the 5 GHz in your house, disconnect all the devices controlled by Alexa from the 5 GHz, and reconnect everything from scratch in 2.4 GHz. When you do all of this, you will realize that 2.4 GHz is not enough to support Alexa properly, as it requires 5 GHz to work correctly. Also, let's not forget that the Gosund does not allow you to open and close the curtain with voice commands, only to change color and light intensity. So, in order to close it, you have to unplug it from the socket or close it through the app if it ever connects and doesn't say "server is not responding." If you unplug it from the socket, it loses all its settings and then you have to start all over again.

  In the end, instead of paying 5.5€, I paid 20€ for the TP-LINK, which I connected to Alexa in 2 minutes and has all the commands a curtain should have, and it works perfectly.

  As for the color changing according to sound, they mean that if the Gosund server ever responds, you have to keep the mobile app permanently open with the microphone next to the speaker in order for it to start flashing and changing colors without any continuity or visual meaning.

  I have stuck it behind the mirror in the bedroom. I use it at 1% brightness and it creates a very nice atmosphere. Obviously, the uses that someone can exploit are countless. What I will mention is that the adhesive on the tape is very good, the connection with the application is very easy, as well as the management of it for scenarios, scenes, colors, etc. Keep in mind that because the company promotes it for use on the back of the TV (Philips ambilight effect), it is powered by USB. The package does not include a USB plug. Obviously, it can use one of the dozens we all have at home from our phones.

  It was placed behind a 50" television.
  The length was sufficient, as it did not go to the edge of the television frame.
  It provides very nice lighting, which makes viewing much more comfortable.
  Powered by the television's USB. The only problem is that sometimes it disconnects when the television is turned on (and loses its settings), and the only way to fix it is to unplug and plug it back into the USB.

  Update: In the end, I changed the power supply and connected it to the USB of a surge protector. It is controlled through Google Home, and now it doesn't lose its settings, despite frequent power outages and internet interruptions in our area.

  The photo is a brightness comparison of this LED strip vs Sonoff L2 Lite (daylight color from Google Home). Sonoff has double the brightness. Depending on usage and location, you choose and get it.

  I managed to connect it to the app and then to Google Home in 5 minutes without any problem.
  It works perfectly with voice assistant.
  Its lighting is okay. It could have been a little brighter. I'm not complaining for the money I spent. I use it behind the bedroom as hidden lighting.
  The Music sync doesn't work at all. It just flickers and changes colors without listening to the music. I didn't buy it for that, so I'm not interested.
  I have placed it on a horizontal surface, so it won't move. I can't comment on whether the adhesive tape it has is good or not, but we almost always reinforce it, especially if it is stuck to a heat source.
  It is the most affordable smart LED strip and it works PERFECTLY.

  The purchase was made on 30/01/2022.
  I have been using the LED strip for 1.5 months.
  It took me at least 5-6 hours to connect it because it is incompatible with some routers.
  It only works through 2.4GHz and not on 5GHz.
  It does not connect with certain Chinese routers from Cosmote, so I had to find other routers for it to connect.
  It is not waterproof.
  Also, the adhesive tape, even though it is 3M, is not of good quality.
  The entire tape came off and did not stick properly again.
  I had to buy new double-sided adhesive tape and reapply it.
  Overall, if someone wants to spend up to 12 euros and experiment with LED strips, I don't know which is the best choice.
  I want to buy a higher quality LED strip in the coming months.

  Quite a quality LED strip, after purchasing and testing the first one, I was satisfied and bought more. The white is natural and the colors are equally bright. The adhesive requires a little attention at the beginning, mine started to come off, sticking to the paper instead of the strip. It connects to 2.4 GHz wifi (not compatible if you only use 5 GHz). The initial setup and operation are done through the Gosund app, which is practically a clone of the well-known Tuya/Smart Life. It does not include a USB adapter, so you need to have your own. If you place it behind a TV that already has a USB port, it will work normally. It connects without any problems with Alexa-Google Home for voice control. Wifi and internet access are required as it operates through cloud service.
