[OBSOLETE] SmartLife (H801) RGBW LED Strip Wifi Controller & Bulb

Okay…I’m getting to my wits end here. I really hope someone can help me, or has any kind of clues of what I can try.

First of all, let me say that I’m the author of this integration: [RELEASE] New Milight / Easybulb / LimitlessLED integration
…and I know my way around writing arduino code. I don’t typically think of myself as a newbie, but I must be missing something simple, because this thing isn’t doing anything, and I haven’t seen a problem like this in the thread. I think it might be an electrical problem.

THE PROBLEM: No matter what I do, the lights never come on.
PARTS: H801 (tried three of them)
Meanwell 12V 10A power supply
32A RGBW repeater (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NOHZJZW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
LEDMO SMD 2835 Warm White Strip, 9M (someone on Amazon claimed 2.85 amps/5M, and the repeater can handle 8A per channel).

Things that work:

  1. Using the original firmware, I can see the controller on my wifi network for one of the H801s.
  2. Using the new firmware, I can see the controller on my wifi netowrk on a different H801.
  3. Directly connecting the power supply to the lights causes the lights to come on fully.
  4. The red light on the controller and the repeater light up, and both read proper voltage on VCC.

Things that don’t:

  1. Using the original firmware, if I turn every channel to full, I see no voltage out on the multimeter on any of the channels (shouldn’t I)?
  2. Using the new firmware, if I turn every channel to full, I see no voltage on any of the channels.
  3. Using either H801 without the repeater does not cause lights to come on.
  4. Using either H801 with the repeater does not cause lights to come on.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to solve this problem?
