AFTERHOURSJAN

These Lenovo smart LED lightstrips are currently on clearance at JB and the coupon brings them down further. What makes this a good buy is that the 5m version supports White colours, or RGBW as it's called. The 2m version is just RGB so there's no white. People are always asking about this in the Yeelight RGB lightstrip deals. Plus they're IP65 waterproof rated, self adhesive and work with Google Home and Amazon Alexa.

The reviews on these are bad, but that's only because the Lenovo app is crap. However these are Tuya-based lightstrips which means you can use the Tuya / Smart Life app with them instead and that'll work a lot better. Especially if you want to integrate with other Tuya sensors. and integrate with HA.

    I have this installed in my airbnb bathroom. Great for morse code play with my tenants if i sense they are bored. They give me +rating for the additional service.

    • gosund on 29/01/2023 - 13:17

      With your tenants? Like you have a monitor connected to the bathroom's cam?

        Woah cowboy, putting a monitor in the bathroom is bit too much don't you think?

    Are these useful for TV bias lighting? I have a 65 inch LG CX.

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/01/2023 - 13:19

      Anything could be used as a bias light… my preference was daylight white before but I have since upgraded to RGBW(+6000k) so I could sync my tv, bar, gym and patio all controlled with tuya.

  • pichxlonco on 29/01/2023 - 13:09

    Which are better? These or the yeelight ones?

    • aec on 29/01/2023 - 13:12

      Same question.

      Clear, can you pls respond?

      • nikoris on 29/01/2023 - 13:17

        I love my yeelight strips (have 2) the only problem is that if you reset your phone/move house/change modem it might be hard to setup, i had issues many times. Most recently i had to put my phone in airplane mode and have only wifi active to be able to finish the setup lol

        And i havent made them play well with home kit, not sure if possible. You can add Siri shortcuts but not as good as having the strips in your homekit

      • Clear on 29/01/2023 - 13:18

        They're both pretty comparable. Lenovo has the pros of being IP65 water resistance so they're more suitable for outdoor use and the 5m supports RGBW so you'll get proper white colours which the Yeelight doesn't have.

        • RickyJ on 29/01/2023 - 13:32

          Can they do nice orange and yellow colours that don't have any green in them?

          • Clear on 29/01/2023 - 13:33

            @RickyJ: I'd recommend looking at some YouTube vids. I don't own them.

      I can't speak of the yeelight products but can say I have had a poor experience with the Lenovo light strips. 4 out of 5 I have purchased have all 'failed' in the same manner: when turned off but with power still applied, all the LEDs in the strip glow a colour - at about 25% of max output. The colour has varied from red, blue to green depending on strip. On one strip it has actually change colour over time, started red and now is green. When on, they work perfectly, just they never turn off correctly when switched to off mode. It took several months for the strips to develop this failure, they worked perfectly when new.

    Can I integrate them with SmartThings?

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/01/2023 - 13:20

    @Clear speaking of tuya sensors/ecosystem do you have any suggestions for a ridiculously loud smart alarm?

    My cameras have 100db ones and that’s just way too quiet imo

    • aec on 29/01/2023 - 13:47
      +2

      The alarm at a neibough's place across the road was triggered for whatever reason at the middle of last night. Then i could not go back to sleep, wondering if that was really a break-in, as I don thave a siren installed in/around my house.

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/01/2023 - 13:53
        +1

        I wouldn’t have mine automated, I just want a super loud alarm I can self trigger in event of spotting a break in.

  • KenDiaMoi on 29/01/2023 - 13:23

    do these have physical button cant seem to find answer

    • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/01/2023 - 13:27

      No use the app

    • lunartemis on 29/01/2023 - 19:34
      +2

      There is a physical button for you to be able to switch on/off but you have to use the app to change colours.

  • wantvsneed on 29/01/2023 - 13:34

    Where can I buy the flexible diffuser channels? Thanks.

    • aec on 29/01/2023 - 13:48

      aliexpress, amazon, ebay.

  • ChipsChicky on 29/01/2023 - 13:34

    As i understand, you can integrate smart lights/sensors etc. of different brands with HA directly, rather using multiple apps ?

  • theguyrules on 29/01/2023 - 13:34

    Do you know if these do warm white, or just cool white?
    Just read the description (facepalm) its hard to find ones that do W/WW so this is awesome.

    • lunartemis on 29/01/2023 - 19:36

      5m one can do warm/cool white light. To get warm/cool effect on 2m, you have to choose yellow and turn down the saturation for cooler tone.

  • ChipsChicky on 29/01/2023 - 13:34

    Can I cut and use 5m cable in different lengths ?

    • theguyrules on 29/01/2023 - 13:40

      Yes, you'd just have to solder wires between the lengths. Assuming you wanted to just jump sections and use the one controller.

    • Clear on 29/01/2023 - 13:40

      No. If you were to cut 1m off then you'd only have 4m as you only have one controller. Yeelight 10m kit for example has extension cables so you can use less if you like and run multiple if you had other Yeelight kits with the controller.

  • Aceman98 on 29/01/2023 - 13:36

    Can these change colour based on the music playing on the TV?

    • airtime on 29/01/2023 - 17:01

      No, the controller does not have that capability.

  • Jimothy Wongingtons on 29/01/2023 - 13:41

    Thx op. Got the 2M, now time to think where to place it.

  • Thal on 29/01/2023 - 18:17

    There are a whole heap of very cheap smart light bulbs as well - lenovo is apparently exiting the market.
    They have some poor write ups by choice - namely difficult setup - however can be used by google home apparently.
    However at $5 / globe I've bought a few to play around with.

  • binuyaka on 29/01/2023 - 19:56

    I have no idea how LED lightstrips work. Can I put this inside my desktop PC?

  • spamuel on 31/01/2023 - 20:27

    FWIW I got my 2m ones delivered today. Uses the TYWE3S board inside.

    Tuya-convert wouldn't work but soldering on leads and flashing with ESPHome-flasher worked no problems. Running on homeassistant now without any 3rd party apps or BS

  • Frunk on 03/02/2023 - 01:21

    Can anyone say how to connect this to the Tuya app?

    • theguyrules on 03/02/2023 - 14:24

      The person above you?

      • Frunk on 05/02/2023 - 23:59

        Don't see how that answers anything about the Tuya app. And if it does, it's above my comprehension.
