GLEDOPTO ZigBee 3.0 Pro+ 5 in 1/3 in 1 LED Controller 20A Max RGBCCT/RGBW/RGB/CCT/Dimmer Work with Alexa H*ue Tuya Smart Life APP Control (201p-5 in 1 LED Controller)

I had a TLW vew device (K10-1220z) driving a couple of white kitchen under-cupboard lights connected with a 6 port micro plug connector, that had failed after 4 years of use and didn’t want to replace it as they are expensive, nearly 80 quid. After much research and head scratching at the lack of information out there I purchased the Gledopto 201p. The device doesn’t come with a power supply (inexplicably)) so I purchased this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BNH81QB1 (an 24v DC adapter with an 5.5 x 2.1cm jack) and it fitted and worked just fine. I had to connect the micro plug connector to the V+ and C terminals of the controller. And the controller function had to be set to CCT (green light). Once this was done I discovered the device on my Hue bridge/app. All features are working including dimming. I’m very happy and hope this information helps anyone else who has the same challenge.

I’ve been wanting to integrate my kitchen under-cabinet lighting into my Philips Hue setup for ages, but I just couldn't justify the price of the official gradient strips for a space where I can't even see the bulbs. I grabbed this Gledopto Pro+ controller to hook up some generic 24V RGBCCT strips I bought online, and honestly, I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. Installation was way easier than I expected. The push terminals are a huge upgrade over the old screw-down style—you just strip the wire, push it in, and it locks solid. No fiddling with tiny screwdrivers while standing on a counter. It paired with my Hue Bridge instantly as an "Extended Color Light," and the response time is identical to my actual Hue bulbs. The color matching is about 95% perfect. The warm whites are super cozy, and the transition between colors is smooth. I did have to press the "Opt" button a few times to cycle it to the right mode (RGBCCT) because the indicator light colors in the manual were a bit small to read, but once I got it on the right setting, it’s been flawless. If you want a pro-level smart home setup without the pro-level price tag, this is the one to get.

Paired this with a suitable LED power supply and RGBCCT strips and works flawlessly. Was incredibly easy to pair within Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant and worked great. Pairing two together via Home Assistant sees the same colours replicated on both, no issue

works very well with hue app

On the plus side this is a very capable controller. A high current capacity means none of that annoying situation where you can only run a few metres and then it fades out. The QR code in the instructions links to an app that allows relatively simple setup and control. Downside is that the Alexa control, which is what I had hoped to use, depends on a newer generation of Alexa than I have. That's not a fault of the product but, like I, you have an old Alexa and never bothered changing it because it works so why would you. At this point you will find it doesn't work. Fourth gen Alexa is not exactly new but I've had the same unit for five years so at that point this failed. Recommended but make sure you have at least a fourth gen Alexa.

Nice and simple block for LED strips, with an associated App to give remote control of colour and brightness. Can be used for RGB or plain white depending on your needs. Instructions are simple, wire ports are a good size so no wasted minutes trying to get wires into tiny holes, which has to be a good thing! The enclosed instruction sheet has a QR code which takes you the download of the App. Connect, link, control. Just like that!

This smart 5 in 1 Wi-Fi LED strip controller comes in a plain cardboard box which inside you’ll find the controller, double sided sticky pad, and an instruction leaflet. The controller itself feels solid and well-built and not like cheaper versions that are on the market. The controller can control RGB, RGBW, RGB+CCT, colour temperature or single colour LED strips. It has a DC power socket which requires a power supply with a positive centre pin. You do have to supply your own power supply as you need to have one that can power your LEDs. This controller doesn’t change the voltage, so you need one that is suited for the power requirements of your LED strip. This controller can be controlled by an app which is controlled via the cloud and can adjust on/off, RGB colour, colour temperature and brightness adjustments. You can set a delay for the on/off modes, timer run, scenes and a music playing function depending on which app you choose as it is compatible with multiple apps. I really like that you’re not stuck to using the manufacturers app and can use one of your existing ones as I don’t want too many smart apps on my phone for different devices. I use the Smart Life app, and it integrated seamlessly with it. Connecting your LEDs is simple with the clamp down terminals, and they hold the wires in place nice and tight. Control through the app is easy to do as it has a simple interface. You can pair the app with your Alexa via the skills section, and it will pair it up. Since my app is already linked with Amazon Alexa, it gave me instant voice control over the RGB strip the controller was connected to. For my use case, I set the colour that I wanted through the app, and everything else I control via Alexa. The controller remembers the last settings, so the colours stay the same as well as the brightness. The controller is now integrated into my smart home so when I walk into the kitchen, the LED strip lights up automatically thanks to an Alexa routine. A big plus of this controller is that is supports a good range of LED strips so if you upgrade your strips, you don’t have to upgrade the controller which will make the installation easier. In conclusion, this is the best LED controller I’ve used so far thanks to its huge support of different LED strips and its ease of setup with Alexa.

I say it probably works because the product page strongly implies that this device can drive RGB/RGBW led strips via an app directly and this controller is all you need. (hence the loss of 1 star) However, in actuality it does require a zigbee hub/gateway to accomplish this, which I do not have. This device does not in itself contain bridging capabilities to your home wifi network as it might appear to someone not entirely familiar with the smart home setups and protocols, so on its own it isn't terribly useful. If at some point I do acquire a hub, i'm sure it will work fine.

Mal reconnu par Home assistant. Sinon Appairage RAS, fonctionne parfaitement en Zigbee 3

Le firmware n'est plus à jour et par conséquent plus compatible avec le pont ZigBee de Philips Hue, dommage... J'ai dû le renvoyer et l'échanger contre une autre marque.
