Iām looking for a hard wired CCT led controller compatible with hubitat (with existing reliable driver). Guessing this would mean Ethernet connection from controller to router or switch and hubitat communicates with it via its IP.
Would something like a WLED controller that supports Ethernet work for you? Not endorsing this one, just using it as an example:

If you are more DIY inclined you could create your own using a PoE-powered ESP32 board like:

EDIT: disregard I reread your post and you want hardwired to the controller, my bad. ![]()
I have ton of the GLEDOPTO ZigBee 3.0 Pro+ WWCW 2 in 1 CCT Dimmer LED Strip Light Controllers (GL-C-203P), these work great with Hubitat.
I got them on Amazon, looking like the models I ordered are not available right now though. Just search for āZigbee CCT LED controllerā and Iām sure some stuff will pop up.
That said any GLEDOPTO multi (2 in 1, 3 in 1, 5 in 1) Zigbee LED controller should work fine too, I have pretty much every variation of these plus the GLEDOPTO WLED ones.
WLED is going to typically be for 3Pin JST (GDV) LED strips, not CCT (WCV) strips.
GIDERWEL makes some good Zigbee ones too.
The 3 in 1 and 5 in 1 can often be a better value because they do RGB and CCT and can often be had for the same price as the CCT models, plus if you decide to do the full color spectrum later you already have what you need.
Yup, Iāve also got a bunch of the Gledopto zigbee cct controllers. My zigbee network is finicky. I could just keep adding repeaters hoping to strengthen, but the places Iāve got them I could also get an Ethernet cable so I was thinking of going the surer strategy of less wireless.
Bump, still looking for a wired communication option to control 2 ch 24v non-addressable LED strips
Update here. This was all in an effort to make commands to my LEDs more reliable. As I mentioned, my Zigbee network seems finicky. I moved my 7x Ikea air quality monitors to my secondary hubitat. So far (fingers crossed), my network seems much more reliable. I don't know if the air quality monitors were flooding the network or just not being very good repeaters.
