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

I am with @michaelahess on this one. That is exactly what I had but five of those IR controllers with one z-wave switch interrupting the power for on-off. I have cabinets that are “separated” with open spaces so I had to use individual IR controls per so it was very cumbersome to adjust the colors without affecting zones you didn’t intend.

I replaced all 5 IR controls with three H801’s. One H801 per section between openings and I use a sync smartapp to that groups all three H801 into one group for simple simultaneous control. Each H801 is setup to control RGBW LED strips on the upper cabinets and the H801 W2 channel I use to control the lower cabinet dual LED’s. So now I have complete control via SmartThings for color and on-off. I am now working out the upper cabinets to be used as an alarm indication in the morning as a reminder that the system is still armed. Here are some of the pictures in a different thread.

I don’t know how many feet of LED you are powering up but one H801 can only handle so much. I know for me on my largest cabinet section I have 16 feet of RGBW that needed 5amps alone for the upper strip and then I ran dual LED’s on the lower as well so. If I remember right from earlier in the thread the H801 can handle 4amps per channel
