Simple and effective way to control LED lights without a physical switch
I installed under cabinet LED strips, RGBW. I also installed backsplash. I didn't want to add a switch in the backsplash - this allowed the control or the lights through Alexa or the app on my phone. We've had it for over a year and so far have only had to reset it once. It was easy to set up and has been reliable.I would definitely recommend this product.

Good Smart Lighting Controller with a Slight Issue
I recently installed the GIDERWEL Smart 5 in 1 WiFi LED Controller for my strip lights, and overall, it's a fantastic product with a few minor issues. Here's my detailed review:The versatility of this controller is impressive. It supports monochrome, WW CW, RGB, RGBW, and RGB+CCT LED strips, with the standard mode being RGBCCT 5 channel output. I love that I can easily set the light strip type as needed using the pairing button.Control through the smartphone app is straightforward. By installing the Smart Life or TUYA app, I can manage my lights from anywhere, create schedules, and set automations that fit my lifestyle. Just note that it only works on a 2.4G WiFi network and doesn't support 5G.Voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant is another excellent feature. I can turn the lights on and off, change colors, and adjust the brightness with simple voice commands, making my smart home experience truly hands-free.The option for group control and settings is convenient, especially with the additional purchase of the 4-Zone RT10 remote. I can group multiple controllers and manage them simultaneously, which is perfect for larger setups.The music sync and scene modes are fantastic for creating the right atmosphere, whether it's for a party or a cozy evening at home. The lights responding to music add a fun element to any gathering.However, the reason for the four-star rating is the compatibility issue with Alexa. When I set a routine to change to "Color 1" and then another routine triggers to change to "Color 2," I can't revert back to "Color 1" without the strip turning off, weather by app or voice command, I would need to change to "Color 3", again by app or voice command, before being able to go back to "Color 1", as going to "Color 2" will only turn on "Color 2" but again when changing to "Color 1" it would be still be off. This also happens when changing colors directly in the Alexa app in that same order. Interestingly, this issue cannot be replicated in the Smart Life App but only because how the color selection there works forcing you to use the gradient selection bars causing to affect brightness, even if 1%, and color, thus adding another change so that's why I think it work fine in the Smart Life app while on the Alexa app you're plainly changing colors, not brightness and color simultaneously.Despite this minor inconvenience, the GIDERWEL Smart 5 in 1 WiFi LED Controller is an excellent product. Its versatility, ease of use, and advanced features make it a worthwhile addition to any smart home lighting setup. I recommend it, especially if you're primarily using the Smart Life app for control.Pro Tip:If you're insistent on using the Alexa routines (as I was), you can add the 3rd color change (I used pink since it was the closest to white) to the routine, here's the order that it would need.Routine for Color 1:Turn on LED, set brightness, set to "Color 3"Add 5 second waitChange LED to Color 1.Routine for Color 2:Turn on LED, set brightness, set to "Color 3"Add 5 second waitChange LED to Color 2.As you can see, you're adding the 3rd color in between each routine color change but it needs that 5 seconds wait (the lowest wait time available), this was the only way I found to make Alexa routines work with this LED controller. This routine can obviously be replicated for any color you want at the end, just reserve "Color 3" else it will fail once it hits a routing that calls for "Color 3" in the end. You can also incorporate this routine into a larger routine, just make sure to add those 3 steps to your new or updated routine.

As described
This is a better option than the smaller options out there. Haven't lost connection and the app is pretty ok.
