These are very cool lights! but we weren’t able to find any way to use them without allowing them access to our wifi, which we were trying to avoid, there are too many internet-of-things things on our internet at this point. We got some others which have their own private wifi, and another that is controlled via a remote. Also got those from meh!
If these are the same ones I bought six of a while ago, they seem to work well, at least the open I opened and plugged in without unrolling, since I haven’t thought of an application yet.
It works with the Smart Life app, which is handy if you’re already using that.
It doesn’t have white LEDs, and if I tell Alexa to make it white, it just turns off. It may do better at that with a different app and skill. I am not curious enough to try.
If I wanted to string all of these together, could I? (understanding I’d have to furnish my own connectors… Curious about if the transformer it comes with would put out enough juice)
@lizzius Probably, but once the string gets too long, you’ll start to drop power, which would be easy enough to handle by injecting power at the far end of the string. But, since the controller is built-in to the power connector, I’m unsure how the lights would respond to commands while essentially getting instructions from both ends.
