BTF-LIGHTINGRB4 2.4G Wireless Touch RF Remote for FCOB SMD Chasing RGBCCT LED Strip Light 4 Zone Control Match with SP530E SP630E SP635E SP63AE SP63CE Controller

At first I was unable to get this to work. After some research and some input from the seller it is now working great!

Tested out this controller on my desk with some left over assignable LED lights i had from my TV backlight upgrade. Worked so well and looked so good that my Son ordered a few roles of lights and this controller. Wrapped his whole 10x12 room in them...1 controller was plenty to power the whole run of roughly 200 LED's. Looks like it handles about 30 LED's before the patter repeats. Will be buying more of these for other areas of the house. Remote is a little weak, but the app lets you have nearly full control and great customization of the lighting.

Alexa does not work at all for this device. It claims it does, it unfortunately does not. Their skill in Alexa has 4 ratings, all of which are 1 star stating that it does not work, the reviews are now turned off for that app. It does come with the controller shown but it uses a strange touch-screen adjacent button system and feels very bad to use however it does work. The colors change quite drastically when compare to low power and high. Not sure if this is due to this controller or the led strip I am using but it functioned this way for two different led strips I tested. This isn’t the worst product I’ve ever used and since I’ve already purchased and installed this on a project I will continue using it but I highly suggest trying a different product. And lastly if you want yellow lighting, with the lights I tested you will be limited to a very green “yellow” or a shade of orange.

The app isn't great but its functional. It crashes frequently on Android. Operation is somewhat intuitive but the installation instructions are terrible and 30 minutes of trial and error will be your friend. As a novice in using LED tape lighting, a better instruction book/pdf would have been nice. Also during installation, the PLASTIC CONNECTORS between LED lights and wires MATTER and will consume 90% of your installation time if you don't know how they work or if you get the wrong item. I listed the connectors liked below.My 'hopefully' helpful hints for what they were worth:This SP630E unit adds Bluetooth and remote control functionality to the WS2812B LED Strips. It is also the interface that transfers power from the transformer to the LED Tape and generates the signals that the LED tape needs to work. This box works well, it is small and can be discretely hidden, but instructions are poor. You can program light sequencing, colors, timers and response to sound with the app. A dedicated remote control is available in different kits or might be sold separately, but you don't need the remote if you plan to control these lights from your phone. The remote is simple and has preset controls for most of what you can do with the lights, but the app (free) allows a little more functionality and control. To use the app, you first have to Bluetooth pair it with the SP630E controller.I had a lot of missteps doing my ordering and first installation of LED lights. My installation was a 6 self, 8 foot high bookcase that I wired as one continuous length but with 5, 12" vertical wire jumps and 48" horizontal LED runs. I was able to hide all the vertical wires fairly well. I goofed up and had to splice a few of the horizontal LED strips but those spices were easy using these flat connectors:Some additional flubs that hopefully you wont repeat:1. Get a 5V transformer (DO NOT use12V) to power the WS2812B strips2. Its not complicated. The WS2812B LED strips require only 3 wires for full functionality:--Use a red wire to connect the voltage tab (+5V) on LED strip with the "VCC" port/terminal on the SP630E unit--Use a green wire to connect the middle metal tab (DIN) on the LED strip with the "WC" port/terminal on the SP630E--Use a white wire to connect the ground metal tab (GND) on the LED strip with the "GND" port/terminal on the SP630E3. The WS2812 LED strips are fairly dense (maybe 2" apart and can show every color and groups of LEDs can be programmed somewhat independently4. Always pay attention to the arrows when you combine LED strip pieces. The arrows should always be pointing AWAY from the SP630E. If you connect part of the LED strip pieces the the wrong way, the entire strip will not work.5. Cut straight across the middle of the LED strip metal tabs (where all the arrows are located) between the lights. Connecting a LED strip directly to another LED strip was easy...usinghttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NASHQPO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleJust make sure you place the strips tabs under the connector tabs. The 90% elbows in the kit were kind of crappy and tended to be too floppy to reliably connect...probably just me, but the straight connectors were fine, the elbows were a waste.6. If you want to connect a 3 conductor wire the LED sections (to jump a distance without lights), the ONLY connectors that worked for me was https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PR418WZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleI wasted a ton of time trying other ways to connect them. These connectors specifically have 3 small holes on one side to stick the wires in. On the opposite side you stick the metal tab end of your LED strip in, FACE DOWN. The LED metal tabs must face down in the connectors. Be careful that GND connects to GND, +5V connects to +5V and DIN connects to DIN across these connectors. You must click down hard on each side to make an electrical contact take place inside the connectors. The LED tape connection side is a bit tricky to line up, but look thru the clear plastic to ensure that the metal tabs line up inside the connectors. Unfortunately, once you snap either side of these connectors shut, its almost impossible to open them back up if they don't make good contact with the metal embedded inside the connectors. If this is your first time working with these lights, you will waste some connectors. You will wind up cutting LED lights off when you mess up the positioning within the connectors. I got better & faster with every section that I did.Ultimately, you can absolutely do these projects but there is a learning curve.

A straightforward controller that works without drama.After mounting the RGBW LED strip wherever it is going to be,You connect the four different wires of the strip powers the respective colored LEDs in the strip to the outputs of the controller.It appears those are fed with negative voltage. Then connect the common lead, which is a positive feed.Then put in 12v into the input portion of the controller module. Make sure the power supply that feeds the controller has at least 5 amps, or 60 watts total minimum -- 10 amps if you put more strips in series.I jury rigged a computer ATX power supply and connected the 12v lead to the input (fyi, the brown wire connected to ground on the ATX Molex power connector will turn on the ATX PS all the time)Then some minor pairing is done with the remote control and the controller, and you are ready to go.The remote's logic takes a little getting used to, as the user manual is somewhat cryptic, but all variable functionality is there, and when you get something you like, there are 2 presets you memorize them to.

The media could not be loaded. This is a great programming solution for led strips. Make sure you are inputting enough amperage for the strip you are driving (i.e., at least 10a for a 300 led strip). Otherwise, the strip draws too much current and causes the controller to shutdown.

Easy to use, controls up to 300ft worth of lighting for me.

So I had a typical RGB led strip and hooking this device was easy. Same with a standard plug that I used with a 24 volt dc power supply. The problem I am having is getting it to stay on line. It does not show up as a blue tooth device at all but when I am on a 2.4 gig Wi-Fi signal it will find the device. I was able to verify the colors but once I try to turn it on it only shows the red color and then it goes off line. Wait a few min and then it finds it again but will not connect to it. Very finicky, I was going to send it back but it was not very expensive. I may try to find a. Better device or switch to a different controller altogether. Very disappointed.
