Anyone have any suggestions for cost effective light strips? I was looking at Philips Hue and for the love of all that is holy, they're expensive.
I found some other ones -- like a whole spool of lights for a lot less than Philips but I think I'd have to update the firmware on them as explained in another thread.
So I'm at a lost. What's the community's go-to right now?
Check out MagicHome-compatible controllers. No firmware updates necessary 
The latest release has been solid.
Below is an RGB controller that says it comes with 10m of LEDs, if you donβt need something with a high CRI. Otherwise, the RGB+CCT strips have come down in price, and those controllers are $10. My overhead lights are all of this style.

You rule. Thanks. Hubitat discovering them?
It won't auto-discover (yet...
)
Setting up a device is as easy as adding in the device's IP into its settings page, though.
