I just setup the lights around our home entertainment center and tested it out. This kit works great! 16 color options, easy setup, nice transition options with adjustable speeds, and a great range of brightness levels! This thing can be really bright or nicely dim with a range in between giving you 10 different brightness levels from which to choose. The pictures show it on red, then white at its brightest, and lastly white at its dimmest seeing. Because of the auto brightness adjustment on my camera phone, the difference between the brightness settings isn't quite as appreciable as you'd find it in real life - it's really pretty great. All in all, I couldn't be happier!
Really nice product! Worked as it should...colors are amazing and the best of all: Wifi controllled and awesome app control! See picture of my custom light fixture with these LEDs incorporated!!
My In-Laws recently remodled their kitchen. As part of the remodel, they had some beautiful LED lights installed under the kitchen cabinets. We loved them so much, I decided to research and purchase our own LED lights.
These lights arrived fast. They are exactly as described on the product page. Very easy to install. Just remove the tape from the strip, place where you want some extra lighting, plug in and you are done. I would recommend this product to others.
I bought these for my new LG 70" TV and I am not disappointed. I have done a few TV's with these types of led's so installation was easy. Make clean accurate cuts where you have to cut the strips and all will be well. I like the wifi feature on this one. Just make sure you are connected to your 2.4ghz network and not 5g. It will save you a headache. I don't even bother with the actual remote since the wifi app works so well.

I bought 2 wifi light sets (wifi controller, lights, and PSU) I also bought another 3 controllers alone.
PSU - 0 stars
Lights and controller - 6 stars
The bad first. Luckily, I didnt need the Power supplies, but the package price meant they cost like $2 vs buying the lights and controller separately, so I took them. However, 1 power supply did not put out 12volts (the lights were dim and eventually reset themselves over and over, totally useless). The other makes a very loud squeek noise, though it appears to function, the noise makes it unusable.
However, the lights were great (as you would expect for 5050LEDs). You can get a warm white or cool white, or any mix between, but know that you MUST USE THE PHONE APP TO GET WARM WHITE! the included remote only controls the RGB part of the strip, which produces a cool white.
The controller, works great. I loaded the magic home app to my galaxy 9+ and an ipad pro, both function the same and function well. Though for some reason, after setting it up in android, only 2 of the personalized controller names transferred over to the ipad... The controller was there, but it had the default name. so I typed in the name again, no big deal. the 2 that showed up were added the day before, the other 3 just a few minutes before I loaded it up on the ipad, so maybe it didnt have a chance to sync with the server... Not sure, but not a big deal.
The controllers were all individual, but you can also create a group of them. You can set a timer as well in the magic home app.
I then downloaded the magic home skill through the alexa app, and the 5 controllers were immediately discovered, with the names I put in the magic home app. I was able to make a group in alexa for the 5 controllers to all function together (or individually). You can tell alexa to change the color (including warm and cool white) and change brightness and other things.
The most interesting part was the controller and software, and it worked perfectly.
I needed to publish an update because I FINALLY finished the project I picked up the smart LED controller for. It may be kind of hard to see in the photo, but my daughter has an IKEA Kura bed. It's the type that's shaped like a box; you put it one way and you have to climb a ladder to get up, you put it the other and it's on the ground with a boxy frame similar to a canopy around the top. So, what I did was run a line of lights all the way around the inside of the top. We then ended up using plain white sheets over the top of the frame to turn it into a tent-like space
Oh. My Word. She is beyond excited and I had no idea how cool this thing was before. I pulled it out to see how it worked, but I didn't realize all the features the app offered... like the ability to make the lights flash to music. I also used the camera feature to identify the color of her pajamas and then adjusted the lights to match the exact same color. She literally squealed with delight.
Anyway, I added a video of the lights working to music, plus photos of what the top of the bed and the underside look like so hopefully it's a little more obvious what I did. I didn't think it was possible for me to love the controller and app more than I did at the start, but I am seriously smitten. I will be purchasing more.
Original Review:
I have always wanted to experiment with LED lighting. I thought it would be really cool to use light strips as nightlights for my kiddos. The problem I always ran into was that I couldn't wrap my brain around all the variants- which kind we needed, how many we'd need, whether they could be connected together for extra length, how they would be controlled, etc.. I probably have ten different light controllers and sets in various carts around the net that I've abandoned at this point because there were too many unknowns and I didn't want to waste my money.
I hope to eventually come back and post a photo of my finished project, but I purchased this remote to be used with light strips I'm attaching to my daughter's canopy bed. I picked up a different set for my son. Both are good, but this one is far more advanced. For example, whereas the other remote only allows you to pick a few basic colors, this one gives the full array on the remote. The other doesn't allow you to brighten or dim. This one does. Plus, there are various light pattern settings you can use too. And, all that comes into play before you get into the smart tech side of things.
From the app, you can play with the colors even more, set timers, and do all kinds of stuff. We haven't really gotten into that aspect of it because it functions really well without it.
My biggest challenge was deciding what lights I needed to buy to go with it, but the info provided is ample enough that I could sort it out without too much trouble. Overall, this was a BIG win and my daughter is over-the-moon excited.
Cool little device. Allows you to connect it to your wifi. After registering with their service you can add this device. Overall easy to setup. I love the different features such as microphone listening and music app integration to change the lights to follow the mood. I plan on replacing all my standard IR controllers with this.
I bought 4 of these to replace 4 Bluetooth RGB controllers I was using in a back lit display with RGB and warm white LED strips. These are the first WiFi controllers I have purchased and they work great. The feature that drew me to these over the Bluetooth controllers was the ability to retain the timers within the app after a power outage. The Bluetooth versions will erase the timers if power is lost. The one negative thing with these WiFi controllers is the connector pin out does not match any of the RGB LED strips I have ever seen or bought. The colors RED and GREEN are flipped which I found out when I plugged them in and selected RED on the app and GREEN lit up. It was a simple switch of 2 wires in the harness I built, but for those expecting plug and play this will not work. Besides operating the controllers via the app, I have it setup through Google Assistant and can simply say "OK Google, change the LEDs to red" and the entire bank of 4 controllers will change red. Overall these work very well and would buy again.
