GIDEALED Smart ZigBee 3.0 Controller Dimmable Ambiance LED Kit with 16.4ft RGBWW LED Strip compatible HUB Bridge,Echo Plus for APP/Alexa Voice Control RGB Cool White Warm White(RGBCCT)LightStrip Plus

Very nice controller, adds a lot of flexibility for LED strip setups. The controller allows you to connect 2 strips to the same controller, saving you the hassle to have to make connections between 2 strips. This way you can distribute your LEDs easily across different shelves in a wardrobe or closet, or like in my setup, at the front and back of a shelf. This would normally require additional accessories and/or soldering, or you would waste a lot of led strip getting there.The controller is very easy to install, paired with my Hue bridge on the first try, even from my back kitchen with poor WiFi reception and no other ZigBee lights nearby. It has LED indicators for power input (green) and connection/reset status (blue). RGB control only, so no separate white LED, but hue app allows you to select anything from warm to cold white + colours. Colour change is fast, happens within a second usually. Output is as bright as expected and colour control is excellent.The controller allows you also to choose a power-on action in Hue after a power outage (last state, scene, power off etc, see screenshot). This option is not available for every aftermarket ZigBee bulb or controller, so nice to see that this one does come with that option.Both outputs will provide the same colour, they can't be changed independently, but with the 2 controllers in the set that still leaves you with plenty flexibility. Stickers provided for sticking the controller to a surface, as well as a small instruction leaflet. LED strips ornpower supply not provided, recommend at least 12V/3A as you are likely to use quite a few meters of strip with these.

The LED bundle includes a 5M LED strip, a Zigbee V3 controller and power supply. A Zigbee bridge is required for control of the lights. I had an existing Philips Hue controller and once powered up the LED string was recognised at once by the Hue controller. Configuration was simple. The colour variation of the lights is impressive along with the whites produced by the string. The lights are bright and can be dimmed as required. A good purchase. There is no protection covering the LED string so that has to be taken into account when deciding where to mount them.

I haven't had time to install it yet, but I plugged the lights in to test, and they work okay - there's a bit of a lag / sometimes doesn't the controller doesn't register a colour change or brightness change, but that could be an issue with my home network

I wanted this for some under-cupboard lighting, controlled via Home Assistant.Device arrived with UK plug and a single controller connected to two led strips.The strips are single RGB led lights, there is no dedicated white led. Thus the lighting brightness is only moderate, certainly not as bright as I was hoping.Both strips had an adhesive strip on the back so they can be stuck to things - be careful how you detach the blue protective cover, as I started pulling it away only to discover that I was pulling part of the adhesive strip with it (the blue strip came away sticky).I was trying to work part of the strip into a corner when the end part of that strip suddenly stopped working where I was slightly twisting the strip, so it is somewhat fragile. I ended up cutting off the dead bit.They tied into Home Assistant Zigbee2MQTT straight away after being put into paring mode, control is quick and you can set scenes without using any phone app.Good:2 x strips of RGB lighting, good for ambient lighting behind things out of sight.Works with Home AssistantNot so good:Quite dim, I really wanted something brighterSeems a bit fragile, so be careful when installingSticky strip struggling to keep the LED strip in place on the underside of a cabinet.

Many of these things are low quality and hard to connect to hue, but this strip worked first time and can't speak highly enough for a 3rd party hue integration. I made a mistake a bought a short one but the vendor was really helpful and supportive despite it being my fault.

I bought two sets of these to line the edges in two rooms of my house. Connecting to them via Hue was super straightforward and they work great. However, the actual LED strips started failing in sections within a couple of weeks.Almost LED strips are put together in sections of 3 LEDs, and as you can see by the picture, random patches of sections have completely failed; most have no working green channel any more; some have no green OR blue. This leads to a cheap, patchy effect that puts my teeth on edge.On the plus side, the strips use standard 4-pin connectors, so I could potentially replace them. The downside, however, is that I've got to actually buy 4 more (higher-quality) 10m LED strips, uncover all the profiles I've installed, unstick 40m of lights, and replace them all.So, my advice is: buy these if you want a small, low-profile Zigbee connector, but don't hold out any hope for the LED strips. They're borderline worthless.

Works with Smartthings. Deploy WLED drivers. Once you do this you do not need Philips hue. While I've not tried it you could use a zigbee stick (conbee 2 etc) and home assistant for local control.

I use Home Assistant with Zigbee and these paired straight away. LEDs are nice and bright and give a really nice ambient glow. The adhesive is okay but I always reinforce with glue depending on where they are being placed. Lights up my entire kitchen !
