Govee is the budget-friendly way to light up your race room, and Race RGB supports it out of the box. Connect with a free Govee API key and your strips, bulbs and panels start reacting to the live race.
On the Race RGB desktop app, Govee lights are driven directly over your local network (LAN) for the fastest, snappiest flashes, no cloud lag between the flag and your room.
