GLEDOPTO ZigBee 3.0 RGBCCT Controller Mix LED Strip Controller RGB White Light Mixture APP/Voice/2.4G RF Remote Control Smart Home Control System(Require ZigBee Hub)

I changed my rating from 2 to 5 stars after I got these controllers working well with the Hue hub. I don't recommend using it with SmartThings. GLEDOPTO should fix their SmartThings driver. It was very frustrating to use. Below was my original problem using it with SmartThings.Got it setup into SmartThings using the latest smart hub. However, I noticed immediately the colors were off, and yes I had it wired correctly. In the image you can see how much Red (Their 5 in 1 mini controller) and Blue (this controller) there was when I unplugged the Green LED. Perhaps, I didn't have it exactly on green...I set to a hue value of 33, so I tried setting it to 32 and 34 but the app would just pick the closest odd value instead. Half of the time it would set the value and would hang up for bit. Using it with the SmartThings app was very unresponsive and frustrating. It wasn't a connection issue as it would turn on/off just fine.Since I'm controlling a string of five separate 5m LED strips using amplifiers with one controller, I bit the bullet and bought a Hue starter kit, which comes with a hub, controller and 6ft LED strip. I cut off their lights and soldered my cheaper LED strips to the controller. The Hue controller has worked seamlessly; very responsive and the colors look great. I can actually get just the Green LED to turn on to give a pure green color. I don't know if I could recommend Hue if you wanted independent control of lots of LED strips as that would get expensive fast. Unfortunately Hue doesn't sell their controllers separately, but some 3rd parties might. That was the whole point of getting an GLEDOPTO LED controller, but in the end the poor experience wasn't worth it to me.

So, this is my second attempt with this kit. First set of strips started to get a bit crazy after using them for about 30 minutes. Colors would be different on half the strip. This is a sign of a cold solder joint or a bad connection in the strips. I suggest if this happens, contact them right away!Also, PRO TIP! Most of you don’t know this one, but the last thing you want to do is keep them rolled up, and apply power to them over a period of time! Why? This can and will cause heat to build up! And can cause your strip to malfunction! (Seen this happen to people a bit) if you’re want to test them, apply power for no more then 60 seconds while rolled up!So, as you see I did cut these to make two different levels of light for my TV stand. I used some of the products they offer, like the 6 pin connection jumper wire (with shown 6 pin connection) sadly I learned the company scams you and does not include this part! (Read reviews) So, I had to take some electronics engineering I have to make a 6 pin connection. Was not bad! If your good with soldering small items.They have been installed for a few weeks now! No falling yet!Color matching to Philips hue? It’s close, but not exact! I will say it’s prob the closest strip I’ve had my hands on now! As it mimics the early edition of Philips hue strips with LED placement and even the large scale pin association! Just the color is off a shade.Controller.. well, I like this controller! Small, simple to use! Powered off USB! (Make sure your power supply has at least 2 amp!) it was found right away by Philips Hue system! Alexa controls it well too!I would say this is a good alternative to Philips hue at a big cost reduction!The bad.. Well you’ve got 2 meters to use! This controller won’t do anymore then that! It’s limited by its current abilities! I would suggest the company at least make this controller able to handle twice the amount of LED’s it does! So up to 4m rathe then 2m!Why? Simple, the size of this controller is awesome! Once you get to the controller from this company that can control over 2m the size of the unit increases a ton! This sucks for hidden install!Better yet, they should use a better V chip to handle the current and allow the overhead of additional strips! As well, the company does not offer directly and easily the additional LED strips! They are hard to find! No indication if they are the same! This company should detail the fact of the strips availability!Other wise, would I buy this again?Yes, I think I would! But sadly a 6 ft run is not much for LED strips. And the next controller up is almost impossible to hide.

I have other controllers which do not match the strip they are connected to. Like and RGBWW connected to an RGBW strip. This five in one solves that and will present its type it’s configured as. Suggest setting the type before you pair it with your hub.I wish you could configure a max current or max brightness, as some strips will overheat at max brightness or white color.

Decent instructions included. Not so much with other controllers I’ve purchased. The LED wire connections are not white plastic screws despite looking like it. The are spring loaded sliders. Insert small screwdriver and slide away from the wire hole and hold in position. Insert each slightly stripped wire end in the hole and release the screw driver. Color coded wire connections. Make sure each wire is in there all the way by gently tugging on the wire. Very happy with the product it worked immediately out of the box. You don’t have to use Philips Hue Hub as any Zigbee 3.0 controller / radio will work. This is a low cost alternative to the expensive Philips Light Strips. I put in a drop ceiling with crown molding 45 degree ledge and affixed the strips along the top inside edge. The vertical edge of the drop ceiling was painted with semi-gloss eggshell white paint. While the ceiling is flat eggshell white. No hotspots nor shadows and the angle of the LED light is perfect. No diffuser required. I used an RGB+CCT 6 wire LED strip. It works well with Home Assistant.

Its a little weird to sync with a Philips hue box but it does work. You also get rgb color control as well. The only downside is that you cant use it with the entertainment/sync integration to work with music or video. Philips says you need acompatible color one in order for it to work. Otherwise than that its pretty cool.

Ich benutze den Controller mit IOBroker und Zigbee-Adapter (Stand 01.2023). Funktioniert einwandfrei.Eine eingehende Beschreibung der Objekte, die angelegt werden, wäre wünschenswert. Die Anleitung ist jedoch eher unbrauchbar. Wer aber bereits Zigbee-Geräte im IObroker angemeldet hat, wird damit kein Problem haben.

Ok product. One failed after 1/2 year. Hue recognizes it but it's will not work or be recognized with hue sync ect. That's a shame. But overall an ok product but there are definitely rooms for improvements and better implemention with the hue app.

Ne ho acquistati due per gestire l'illuminazione indiretta di due pareti tramite strisce led inserite in apposite velette. I controller si integrano con l'hub Philips Hue in modo perfetto, manca soltanto la possibilità di gestirne il comportamento automatico all'accensione (inteso come momento in cui vengono attaccate alla corrente). Per il resto ogni singolo controller viene individuato come due luci distinte: la prima RGB, la seconda CCT (bianco freddo + bianco dinamico). I due canali sono indipendenti, possono essere accesi contemporaneamente e dimmerati a piacimento, dunque le combinazioni possibili sono davvero tante. Mi ritengo soddisfatto del prodotto, è facile da installare e le sue funzionalità soddisfano perfettamente le esigenze che avevo.Complimenti inoltre al venditore "TANSHOP", molto disponibile e veloce nel risolvere un piccolo disguido verificatosi con il primo ordine.

Very good zigbee led strip controller, works fine with philips hue app

The contact screws are PLASTIC. Do not expect them to provide much force, in fact two of the screws for mine are just stuck/glued so no amount of unscrewing works and it just strips the top off. Its not even hard plastic, it is soft and bendable and I can indent it with a screwdriver. A huge miss.
