Sylvania Lightify Flex RGBW strip ZigBee controller alternative

[bbrannon]

I have an old Sylvania RGBW 5 conductor light strip that has become an unreliable repeater. The strip works well. Is anyone aware of a zigbee LED controller that I could connect the Sylvania strip to?

I thought there was a previous question on this w/more info, but this is all I found...

Replacing Lightify RGBW strip controller

I'd like to keep the light strip installed but my controller has started turning on the lights full bright white at random. Almost like the power got cut off and turned back on. At any rate looking at the strip the pin outs are: +RGWB but looking at most controllers on Amazon they are doing +RGBW anyone know of a controller that is wired in that order? I'd like to just be able to plug the strip in without having to try to breakout the individual wires so they can be rearranged to match the RGBW…

I did a bunch of searching before I posted. Figured that maybe someone had successfully worked this out. -Amazon link to plug and play Looking at my extra strips it should be relatively easy to make the correct connections with some short solid 22 or 24 AWG jumpers with the available controllers on Amazon. For background my zigbee shade closest to the closet where the strip is deployed was intermittent at best. Unplugging the Sylvania controller resolved the issue. Sure would be nice if toggling off repeater was a device level option.

Good luck in your adventures...I have a bunch of these, two currently installed and the remaining to follow as my wife and I finally work through the location of the remaing strips in closets we are updating, and in a pantry.

I have the two on a C7 and they haven't messed w/my devices, been well behaved. They didn't like being on my C8 as much.

Thanks for the comment. I have a meshed C7 I've been using to play at the current beta. It hadn't occurred to me to move it there. Sounds like a project for tomorrow.

[danabw]

Yup, hopefully good for you as well. On my C8 they kept dropping, once I moved them back to the C7 (I had migrated from C7 to C8) they were much better.

I had forgotten about the 5 seconds off/on. After several 5 on/off failures to reset a bit of googling got me to the 5 second interval. Worked and now paired to the C7.

Cool...now if things go south, you never saw me here.

The pairing is a pain.
