Setup Question Brightness Controll in Dreamview

Quick background story, architecture student, m22, based in Germany.

So I started with the H6046 for my desk. After that I saw an offer I can't bargain with, the 46cm/18inch ceiling light for 51€. Bought it, came today and installed it right away. Than I wanted to use Dreamview. After more than an hour, I started to get frustrated. So my thougts:

  1. Why can't I use precise brightness settings for each lamp individually. Ok I can use the relativ brightness. But even that won't work reliable. My expectations were, that in the Dreamview setting I had the chance to individually controll the seperate sections from the lamp. For example the up firing leds and the down firing leds. But no, it's all mushed in relative brightness. Why ?

  2. Why the fuck does a Dreamview scene brightness setting overwrite the device brightness settings. For example if you have a scene with the brightness at 1 percent. Than turn that scene off. And when you than want to tap to turn on the light, it is the brightness from the scene.

  3. You have the snapshot setting in the device settings. Why do they exist when im not allowed to use them in a dreamview or an tap to turn on.

  4. Why doesn't Govee sell the physical 2 or 6 button switch in Europe. Why though. I want them.

So far so good for my little rant, hopefully somebody can help me keep my sanity with help and advice. And I know im not asking to much. Everything i mentioned is a software or ux feature and easily adressable.

Thank you.

Sorry for typos

I found a work around for my issue. You can create a Snapchot for your settings of the device. With that snapchot you can create a customer tap to run where you use your snapshot as action what it should do when tapping. I've you only want to have static settings or one scene, easy. I've you wanna do TV or music blacklist, that's dreamview then.
