On sale for a pretty good price is this RGB LED Lightstrip that has a Bluetooth controller so that you can change the colours with your phone and an IR remote if you don't want to use your phone. It's powered by USB and the strip has an adhesive back. Available in lengths from 1m to 30m.

I personally use a few strips behind my desk, under my kitchen cupboards and behind the TV and they're great.

Choose Emitting Color: Bluetooth Control and select your length. Anything 5m or above will incur a shipping fee.

    There's no mention so we'll assume it's not.

  This is confusing - SMD5050 RGB but then says - 2835 without white color

  There is no option to select one or the other.

    Sounds like a lottery. Perhaps there were both options, 5050 sold out and they've added 2835 to the description?

  hrmm would be great if these could be controlled by Home Assistant

    Yeah at this price no chance. Gotta pay more for something like the Yeelight RGB lightstrip that has more smart functionality.

      or have an IR blaster conveniently where you need it to smarten these things up

        Yeah I'm going to do this. Though can't remember if it's the 44 key remote or the 24 key remote. 24 key is good as it separates on and off buttons. Good for home automation.

    you could control them if you make / buy a wled controller, but for these strips kinda not worth it

  spend the extra and make a much nicer setup with addressable led strips + wled controller. works super nicely with homeassistant and looks great. The strips (ws2812b) are pretty cheap on aliexpress and are so worth it

    Nah I don't want to spend the extra. This is perfect for where I plan to use it.

    I was going to consider your insightful information but instead you choose to neg the deal? How disappointing. You should go post them.

    Which wled controller do you recommend?
    And how do you use it via HA - as in what actions/occasions do you use it for? (Also, are the 65/67 strips the best choice?)

    I currently have a whole setup of basic Led RGB strips, all connected to a single music controller (is a microphone than outputs different voltages on different lines to the beat of the music, which goes well in the mancave/gym.

    But it's pretty random, just cycling colours, so wondering if there's a step up possible without going the full PC route

    Edit: since most the music is playing off YouTube on the fixed tv (via big speakers) maybe it'd be best to use a HDMI solution that captures the main colours of the scene and translates that to LEDs?

      I love the ATHOM wled controller, it's cheap and has 10A fuses and can do basically all voltages, wled has build in integration with home assistant, just go into the normal settings and HomeAssistant will find & add it. Not sure about HDMI input, as have never had to use that. I do know that if you load wled onto a esp2866 & microphone hat you can get mic input and change lights accordingly.

  Do the cheap LED light strips still go dim after several hours of use?

  • 

    Clear on 14/05/2022 - 00:02

    Not in my experience. The ones in my office at work are on 24/7 for weeks and I've not noticed any brightness issues.

      outlander on 14/05/2022 - 00:32

      That is good news. I will have to get some and try them out again.

  Just recieved mine…
  Theres an LED every 10cm or so, which makes the strips look very sparse!
  Reflecting them against a wall or to use as underglow looks like a bunch of individual dots… You get what you pay for I guess.
