How to Control your LED strips with Alexa and Google Home

[@lio.crypto]

idkw but when you mention "Alexa" my roomba start working haha

[@emilskristiansfr6768]

Literally, he said Alexa , turn the room green... and my Alexa said “OK” on the loudest setting at 12am..🤣

[@osuRolled]

Did you have to go out of your way in the Magic Home app to connect to their cloud server? I purchased 3 smart RGBW controllers and they work great on wifi, but I cannot get them to connect to the server which means no Google assistant, no IFTTT, etc

[@amalia8390]

what type of cord did you use for the wifi adapter for the led? the one with the circle. idk how to explain it

[@beananimates2777]

A cord should automatically come with your LED lights.

[@baconfish_]

Hi! What happens if you power(pull the plug) of the ledstrip? Does it remember the last setting?

[@beananimates2777]

It should, its connected to your Wi-Fi and the app so it should automatically send a signal and connect. Kinda like Bluetooth headsets

[@Dregann]

Do these work with any lights? I have DayBetter lights

[@hecwinguzman]

Depends if there smart lights

[@dmo848]

Yup but look at the connectors

[@jas2xx]

@@dmo848 where are the connecters

[@di5gustipated]

Sad that they don't work this way any longer, they are now requiring registration with no more local control without internet. Legislation needs to be written to prevent this silliness of devolving the applications removing local only control.

[@ZombieHedgehogMakes]

Do you have an RGB-W version?

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

Not at the moment, You can use the app to access white by turning on all three LEDs at the same time.

[@ZombieHedgehogMakes]

@@PartsExpressOfficial that's fine, but a true white is nicer than a warm white. Still a good product if you only need colors!

[@gabirendek5481]

What do I do if it says the network is unavailable

[@vincky7408]

Hi, I did everything you did. But my colors doesn’t match what I’ve asked. So if I ask green he gives me blue ish. If I ask yellow he gives me green. In the app the colors works perfect with the color wheel. What could be the problem?

[@damonhashemi568]

How do I connect my lights to google home with bluetooth if mine don't have wifi?

[@liv2218]

Did you figure it out? If so can you tell me

[@jamaikapenote9816]

Same problem. Can someone please help us?🥺

[@K-Z1]

FYI- ALEXA won't be able to control the effects though i.e. JUMP, STROBE GRADUAL & MUSIC PLAYER. For example. & other stuff. It'll only control the minor basics. Just letting you know what others in their vids NOT telling y'all.

[@brunofunnie]

I guess no video tells you about it, actually I came here just to know if this was possible (control other light effects), because the basic like sync and attach the led strip to Alexa and Google Assist. is pretty basic.

[@miabethune7439]

what if my led lights wifi wont come up on my phone

[@liv2218]

Did you figure it out? If so can you tell me

[@kurtcamilleri4263]

Do you need the Alexa or google speaker to control the lights using your voice? Or are the apps enough?

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

You do. The voice control is only coming from being able to tell Google or Alexa "how" to control the app.

[@Jitliung]

what if my led strip are only has 1 colour option will i still able to use it? i only need the dimm control and setting schedule my led strip are 2pin so i wonder if i can use this device or no

[@leosankey]

The lednet network doesnt show up

[@aspeca_6]

hi Sir if i cut the led separately with scissor.Does it works?

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

If you cut in the proper place and hook your connectors up properly then yes it will work.

[@aspeca_6]

@@PartsExpressOfficial Ok Sir.Thank you so much 🥰

[@jamesdavis7032]

What are these called

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

LED Light Controller. This one specifically: Wi-Fi RGB LED Light Strip Controller with 24 Key IR Remote Works with Alexa & Google Home

[@waldemarnaumovets5214]

IT WORKS, BUT YOU MUST DO IT 6-7 TIMES.

[@Leyo_oj]

Please tell what led strips they are I rlly need some with adhesive on them but can’t find any

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

Lavolta Brand strips have adhesive on the back. :) www.parts-express.com/brand/Lavolta

[@antoniogonzalez6186]

Can this be used on 55 foot LED light run ?

[@trancemovement]

u need to add led amplifier to amplify the electrical current. as 12 volt won't run that far on the led strip.

[@dididusentrieb]

Ich habe ein kleines Problem und sah es bei mir das um 20 Uhr das Licht angeht ich habe aber kein Einstellung vorgenommen woran kann das liegen jeden Tag um 20 Uhr geht das Licht an kann ja jemand dir helfen

[@Hoss_VegasTTV]

How did you get the pins to not just fall out of the controller? Mine falls out constantly

[@curtisgta5fan272]

Can you get an extender for 2 strips

[@thegamerboy7810]

Can you buy just the connector and put it on the old led lights??

[@beananimates2777]

Yes. Look up LED light prongs on amazon if you can't find it there just look to a tutorial and the vudro should have a link.

[@imlon2]

Here is an off the wall question. I have a home bar, that is Hockey related. I want to be able to push a button (when my team scores) that makes the LED's behind my TV that are blue to flash RED a couple times then go back to a solid blue, While also triggering a cheer sound to play over my speakers in the ceiling. Problem is I don't know how to make either of these work even without a button. Any ideas? Currently I only run Google, no hubs so I don't know if this is even an option. Any thoughts?

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

My only thoughts would be a different strand of lights that flashed red and turned off. The cheer sound would also probably be a separate thing as well. I'll look around and see if I can find some solution options for this. Great ideas though!

[@imlon2]

@@PartsExpressOfficial Good idea on a 2nd set of LED's to flash.

[@ferrar_i143]

Im modeling my basement to include this exact idea and haven’t been able to find any luck online. Did you ever find a solution to this?

[@imlon2]

@@ferrar_i143 no nothing with a breakdown, that explains it in details.

[@MrCustomConcrete]

So you need an Alexa or Google home speaker to control the app, and do you need multiple wifi connectors for each RGB light strip you have?...I bought all my RGB lights at different times and have like 5 separate remotes 😵‍💫

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

This unit allows you to use Alexa or Google. That's the main purpose of the controller. The app will work without either of those.

[@MrCustomConcrete]

@@PartsExpressOfficial I see so would I need multiple wifi connectors for each light strip I have, I just want to control all 5 light strips (which are all separate) to one app that controls them all, does that make sense?

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

I understand. If they are all the same brand they may all work with one app. If they are all different you may need to do more research. Maybe there is a generic app that can bluetooth to all of them at the same time? I'm not sure.

[@MrCustomConcrete]

@@PartsExpressOfficial ok cool sounds good thanks for the info I'll keep researching, if not I may just scrap them all and buy them all the same brand to make it more simple to work with, thanks again I appreciate your response.

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

No problem! Keep us updated on what happens.

[@karlspratt2769]

Can someone explain how to unbox and setup form the start we can't get the lights to switch on. Lost here

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

What is the confusion? You can't get the lights to turn on at all? You are plugging the controller into an LED strip?

[@karlspratt2769]

We purchased an adaptor to plug in, as none came with the lights, nothing was working. We then tried old phone chargers lights are now working. Would you recommend any tips, to use the magic light app? Any help is appericated. Karl

@@PartsExpressOfficial mine doesnt get the prompts for alexa. When i try to connect to the wifi first i get "itll connect when stronger"

[@jpinpin_]

How do I turn all me led lights at once instead of saying “Alexa, turn on bed lights” ect. Is there anyway I can say something like (ex.) “Alexa all led lights on”?

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

I believe this is just something you setup within the Alexa system. Categorize your lights as Bedroom and then "turn the bedroom off" works.

[@slevinshafel9395]

but with adresable LED (IC LED) dont work. I would like to have rainbow effect.

[@methanoid]

me too... would be nice if Parts Express helped out showing us which controller exactly we need for that ;-)

[@tvali5731]

Does anybody know how to reset this particular wifi controller? We got a new router and my lights can’t connect to a new router

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

Unplug and plug the device back in 4 times. You will see the LEDs turn Red.

[@RyanPintoski]

when u have insignia led's so it wont work ;(

[@abdulhamide2376]

Can u ask Alexa to make the breath effect with the leds

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

All the effects are dependent on the LEDs connected. In the case of the ones shown in this video, they cannot.

[@paigemartin1054]

Bruh I don’t what I did but I was laughing in my room and my led lights stared to change colour every sound I made. I would talk and the colour would change like every vowel I made. I yelled out colours but it just did random colours and I don’t know what happened or how to change it back like that again

[@PartsExpressOfficial]

Sound activated control. this is good for loud music if the settings are properly configured. Then they can automatically change on the beat. Configure settings in the app.

[@kayleigharthur8183]

I can’t get my phone to connect to the led Wi-Fi and it asks if it blinking there fading but when I unplug it and plug it back in it does the same thing what do I do 😭

If I'm not mistaken it can be added in either your settings app or the app they use to connect the wi-fi. I'm not 100% sure but...
