WiFi Wireless LED Smart Controller Compatible with Alexa Google Home and Nest IR Remote Controller 24 Keys Light Kit for 5050 3528 RGBW Light Strips Free App for Android and iOS System Smart Phone

If you need smart plugs that work with Alexa, this power strip is a great deal. Its a little clunky to register and set up the app before registering it with Alexa, but after that its smooth sailing. Each power outlet is addressable individually. I was able to get our inside and outside Christmas lights working with Alexa on this power strip in a few minutes. We use the USB ports to charge an iPhone 8+ and an iPad Pro, and it charges both devices quickly.The power strip seems to be well built. I would guess it was a name brand product if I didn't order myself.The one con is that it doesn't work with Apple Homekit. But if you use Alexa for anything else, this power strip will be a nice addition.

For the price, the lights and the brightness and everything are great. However, as advertised (supposed to work with Google Home and Smart Life), I am seeing a lot of things lacking.. even after connecting the device via wifi to the smart life or tuya smart app (i tried both and paired the lights each time), clicking the voice icon and trying to turn them on with voice commands yielded messages like "Sorry, I haven't found any device, please add one first." Despite various troubleshooting attempts, adding the device to the desired room, restarting everything, etc... no luck. Then, when I try to connect it via Google Home, it asks me to register/log in, which I do, but then nothing shows up after. Telling my Google Home to turn on the lights doesn't do anything and the Home Mini simply tells me "It looks like those lights haven't been set up yet. You can do that in the Google Home app." Except.. I tried. And I couldn't. I literally bought these lights because of the price and because they were advertised as being able to pair with Google Home.+1 star for price+1 star for lights and controller+0 stars for connecting to Smart life app+0 stars for connecting to Google Home+0 stars overallTotal: 2/5 stars

The media could not be loaded.  Purchased 4 of the LED strips. Out of the 4, I was able to connect 2 of them to the Smart Life App. The other just keeps blinking and will not connect. The 2 that connected to the Smart Link App will not connect to Alexa using the skills. I have other Sengled Smart Light bulbs connected to the Smart Link App in which it is discovered by Alexa skills. The reason I puchased these strips because it advertised that it can be controlled using the Alexa, well that is not the case. I would not recommend these LED strips if you want it controlled by Alexa. Yes the price is cheap, but not fulfilling what it advertised. I will be returning all 4 back tomorrow.As you can see from the video, as soon as I plug it in, it starts blinking and cannot be stopped. I’ve tried to pair it while in that mode, no success.

Most of these LEDs strips are similar. This type does not have individually addressable LEDs. I did not want to use the suggested app (might compromise my network) so I looked for another way to control them. I used an Arduino UNO. The code is simple and available online. With a small amount of coding you can get the LEDs to do a lot of cool things. My setup required three IRFZ44NPBF N-Channel MOSFETs also available from Amazon and super inexpensive.The strip does come with an IR remote but it has limited capabilities compared to using an Arduino. Don't be afraid to try using an Arduino; these small inexpensive micro controllers are capable of all kinds of projects, like a simple obstacle avoiding robotic vehicle, kit with everything you need for under$25 from Amazon.

I just got it today and it is not a 6 foot long cable, which was important to me. The cable is 5' 3" from the end of the plug to the start of the box. If you include until the end of the plug, it is 5' 6". If you include the whole unit, it will reach at least 6' since the box part is just over 11". But they clearly say that the "cable" or "cord" is 6' in four places! I haven't figured out what I am going to do yet, but lying in the listing seemed to deserve 1 star for now while it is still incorrect.

These are really great strip lights. They came a few days ago. I liked how they were super easy to set up. Then I connected them to my google home and my life was changed. I use them to light up my closet and now I can be in bed and turn off the light. The lights have very vibrant colors and it looks really cool. You can tell it is nice quality and I would definitely buy it again.

The media could not be loaded.  Works w Smart Life app but won't connect to my Google Home. Instructions in package are only how to connect to Alexa. I have 3 other Smart Life devices that work great w my GH but GH inconsistently recognizes and then doesn't recognize this device or the individual plugs. I spent about an hour unlinking and relinking w the help of a Google Home tech and her recommendation was ultimately to return it.

*Update* 2 Hours after installing the lights, they fell off the wall and now won't turn on. I've power cycled them and used double stick tape to make them stick to the wall which worked, but lights still won't turn on.For $20, I was hesitant that this wouldn't work. Despite the instructions being poor English, I was able to set it up easily. The tape stuck perfectly to to the wall and the lights are bright. The App you need is called smart life and despite the pictures they use to try and walk you through it, if you follow the written instructions then you should be fine. Getting the lights hooked up to Alexa was different than the app described but once I figured it out, everything works perfectly. I can control them with Alexa and my phone no problem. The trick is to not try and set up the lights as a light device but rather add a new skill to Alexa with the smart life app and it worked immediately.
