DC 24V Smart ZigBee RGB COB LED Strip Dimmable 16.4ft Kit Compatible with HUB bridge,Tuya Gateway and Echo Plus,APP/Alexa Voice control Color Changing RGB LED Lightstrips for Ambiance lighting

I bought this specifically to pair with a Philips Hue hub. Paired on first try and worked perfectly with a string of BTF 5050SMD RGBWWs. You can tell if you got it in pairing mode, the LED strip will pulse until it's paired. To power it I used a 24v/6.25A (~150W) power supply. The strip I used uses a max of 150W, which can potentially be an issue if you drive all 5 color channels.One caveat that's Hue specific: Hue WILL NOT let you add effects to a third party controller. So long as you know that, you're good to go.

Love love love that these work with the Hue App.Perfect for my custom LED strip project.

I've had this strip for a few months now, and my feelings are mixed. Long story short: if you're heavily invested in the first-party Hue ecosystem, or if you plan to use this in a room with other Hue products, this may not be the product for you. I have moved these strips to an area with no other Hue products, and I'm very pleased with it for the price. I would never have paid $80 to add smart lighting to this area of my home - but I am happy having paid about half that for locally-controlled smart lights at this performance level in this new area.----First up - overall build quality. These LED strips have some kind of epoxy or resin over the LEDs. On cheaper LED strips, that epoxy can yellow quickly. I am pleased to say that has NOT happened to me, even with the strips installed in a high-heat, high-humidity environment. Unfortunately, the adhesive is a different story: that failed quickly. While I will concede that the surface I was adhering to is less than ideal, it failed quickly - within the first month or so. I was able to resolve the issue by purchasing some aluminum LED channels and mounting the strips to it.--------Next - pairing and performance. For me, pairing was a breeze! I have both a Hue hub and a Home Assistant hub. I had no issues pairing it to either hub. But I wasn't thrilled with the performance of the strip connected to the hue hub.- Color-matching a first-party Hue product to this strip will be very difficult/impossible.- Color and on/off fading doesn't quite match with this strip.- Occasionally, the strip would turn back on after turning it off via the Hue app.I originally had this in a room with other Hue products, and I decided to move the product to a different area of my home, away from other Hue lighting products, where this wouldn't be noticeable. This has improved the perceived user experience.----I don't think that first-party hue products are a great value, so I'm not going to say that you should go and buy the Hue strip - the Hue indoor "Lightstrip Plus" is hardly a superior product to this on paper. However, if you want to use the entertainment area feature, or if you want a LED strip to use in combination with other first party hue products in close proximity, look to the Hue product catalog.

I use Philips Hue for all lighting in my house. When it came time to upgrading the kitchen, I was tired of paying the Philips price. Also, the Hue light strips are way more complicated to deal with because they are not connectorized and trying to integrate all the wiring in the cabinets would be a pain. My cabinets also extend off the left side at 90 degrees with a pantry in the corner. I needed the ability to do custom wiring and extensions. Pair this controller and 2 meter strip with some 1 meter extensions and some 6-pin 10-foot extensions and now you have a completely customizeable solution at a fraction of the price of Philips.This particular controller is very useful in that each output is actually a spring loaded terminal. Rather than having some proprietary connector, you strip the wires bare and push them into the terminals. This allowed me to join three separate cable runs together.Regarding the distance limitations, their general guidelines are for a single line, however I have 5 meters worth of LED's above the cabinets with about 3 meters worth of extension cable. This is possible when taking each section directly back to the controller and splitting it three ways. This combats the voltage drop.I'm also using two controllers between the top and bottom for independent control. I used 1x3 wood planks for the top sections and found nice aluminum channel from Muzata for under the cabinets. All in was about $350 plus a couple weekends of drilling through the walls and cabinets.I did have an issue with one of the controllers and the seller was quick to send a replacement and help me get it solved. Kudos for the attentive support and amazing effort to address problems.All in all, buy with confidence for a perfect Hue compatible DIY product.
