Is anybody aware of any Hubitat compatible drivers for Low voltage LED strips that include a transformer?
I have a few LED ceiling lights that can do warm/cold light but rather than having a remote for each one, I'd like to fit an LED driver directly to the light fitting itself.
All the drivers I've seen tend to require a separate transformer and there's not always a lot of room inside ceiling light fittings.
I found this but it's out of stock, has been for ages and I've not seen a suitable equivalent anywhere. I'm also a bit cautious about the fact that once up there, it would be difficult to access if there was an issue, so I want to be confident that it would work in a small space without a risk of overheating!
Thanks

The output voltage would matter as well.
Are these even dimmable LED, for example my Ikea medicine cabinet is not, and they do some very bad things when you try to dim them. They are (From memory) constant current devices instead of your normal PWM voltage controlled LED.
Do you have a brand of (bulb?) light that these are?
Hi - these are dimmable - they come with their own remote contro to dim them. However, I'm not against taking out the LED strip that's in there and replacing it with one that is compatible with the LED driver.
It's just a bit irritating - to change the colour temperature I either have to find the remote (there are at least a dozen different ones) or keep flicking the switch on and off to change it. To dim it can only be done with the remote.
I'd like to make it more part of an automation - watching a film, so light to warm, dim, or cleaning up - full brightness natural light - without having to go scratting round to find a separate remote.
Thanks

if it works through IR, look into a switchbot hub. they're fairly cheap, and you can train it to mimic the buttons on the remote. you can then use that to integrate into HE with something like SwitchBotAPI Driver for SwitchBot Bot and not have to search for the remote, but instead use virtual buttons to accomplish your color changes and add them into rules within HE
