Exploring Smart Lighting Automation with RGB+CCT Strips

Hi everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart lighting lately and thought I’d share my journey and some tips I’ve picked up along the way. I recently decided to upgrade my bedroom lighting setup to include RGB+CCT strips, and it’s been an exciting project!

One of the main goals was to create a sunrise effect for a gentle wake-up experience. I’ve heard great things about the WLED controller, but I quickly realized that it doesn’t currently support RGB+CCT strips. After some research, I found that the GoveeNetLight might be a good alternative, but I’m still exploring other options.

I’ve also been experimenting with different apps and integrations to control the lighting. While I love the flexibility of having both RGB and CCT capabilities, finding the perfect white light temperature has been a bit tricky. I’ve settled on 3500K for a warm, cozy feel during the evenings, but I’d love to hear if others have found better settings for their setups.

Another challenge I’ve encountered is ensuring smooth transitions between colors and brightness levels. I’ve tried using both manual controls and automated routines, but I’m still tweaking the settings to get everything just right. If anyone has tips on how to achieve seamless transitions, I’d be grateful for the advice!

Overall, this project has been a fantastic way to enhance my home automation setup. It’s been a learning experience, and I’m excited to see how I can continue to refine and improve my smart lighting system. If anyone has similar projects or experiences to share, I’d love to hear about them!
