Best RGBW 5050 Light Strip

Hardware
1

I was considering Philips Hue light strips, but damn they are expensive and worried about longevity, especially for the money.

Been looking into RGBW controllers that use MagicHome.

Who’s making quality RGBW 5050 light strips? Lot of manufacturers out there.

Thanks!

I’ve got a few magic led controllers , good for the price. Ideally I want to move to a custom built Mqtt option…

I’m using a MagicHome RGBW controller and it works fine, it just goes offline sometimes and I have to pair it to the app again to link it to my router.
I have this strip:

which is very good but red and green wires are in the wrong position for the MagicHome wifi controller, so I had to rewire them.

Thanks for the suggestions. Bummer on needing to reconnect periodically. I’ll explore MQTT before pulling the trigger.

Thanks
