I have TV strip H6199. I set it to Movie mode (one using camera) and turn it on/off via MQTT with Govee2Mqtt add-on.
I also can set various effects to the strip, change its color and even make segment adjustments - but there's no entity to put it back to movie mode. There's Movie effect on the light itself, but it's different thing, it just sets strip to bright-blue.

Does anyone know if there's possibility to put it back? I'd like to use this strip for occasional notifications like ged glow or green glow, if TV is off - but with unavailability to turn it back to Movie mode when TV is on - keeps me from it.
Thanks in advance!

a bit confused you asking a question, lol Hence i haven't that hardware i googled.. (sorry) this is what google says:

#

Use a Govee App Snapshot (The Most Promising Workaround):

Manually set your H6199 to the active "Movie Mode" with the camera running via the official Govee Home App.

While it's running, use the App to create a Snapshot or Tap-to-Run automation that captures this active state.

Restart your Govee2Mqtt Add-on (and potentially Home Assistant).

The newly created Snapshot/Tap-to-Run scene should appear in Home Assistant as a new scene entity or effect entity that, when triggered, reactivates the camera-based Movie Mode.

It freaking worked!
I had to delete device from MQTT so add-on would re-initialize it - but agter that the snapshot i created appeared as scene on the light entity.
Thanks, i didn't even think that LLM would help in this case - they usually tend to come up with some imaginary solution. But i guess someone on the internet already had this sorted - so Gemini based on their experience.
Thanks!
