These were $100 last year, dropped to $50 this spring, and are now on clearance since Sengled is gone. But that doesn't matter; they are just Zigbee devices.
The starter kit includes:
a 5M RBGW coated LED strip with an integrated Zigbee controller/power brick
a Sengled 4 button Zigbee remote (E1E-G7F).
e-waste in the form of a useless Sengled Zigbee hub
The LED strip is only RBGW. These look great if you want white at 2700K. Any other color temp just turns on the blue LED and looks awful.
Both devices pair easily and get the correct device type automatically.
I should add that I'm adding LED strips to closets and was looking for some 5M strips. These look like they'll work great. I especially like that I won't need to deal with separate controllers and strips (and ugly wiring inbetween).
Not bad but the remote is trash. You'll never know if you pushed a button or not, there is zero tactile feel. It's more of a "push and pray" setup. And above all, if you value your HA setup , never give one of these remotes to SWMBO.
That would be a fun end-around. Maybe you and I both would be BANNED!!
But...the discussion got me out in the garage, remembering I had should have some Zigbee LED strips that I hadn't used during our last remodel five or six years ago. Luckily I did not Goodwill them, have three complete strips and one that I shotened a bit. So the good news for me is I didn't buy what I already have! (There is rumor that I might have done that once or twice in the past.)
Ha, now that you mention it, I have a tote of about 12 strips, somewhere in the garage. Thought the wife would be excited as I was about them. I was summarily dismissed with "what do you think we're running a carnival over here?" So the LED strips went in the garage and I had to dismiss the bearded lady and the mermaid, on the same day !
ROFL- bearded lady might not qualify these days as carnival material. "IT"S MAAAM!!"
Odd, I'm getting a click the buttons when I press, and they are being reported by the device just fine. I did find the double press was sometimes also reporting a single press. It's weird, only the On/Off buttons report double at all:
Maybe don't want to ship to the west coast area?
