I want to have RGBWW light strips, that is RGB with cool and warm LED white control. I am constructing my house now and the studs are still open for wiring.
Looking for opinions on my options.
I want a wall panel control in addition to HA automated control. Options are Wifi control, RF control, DMX, I suspect there would be an advantage to have the wall control be wired so the lights can be controlled when the HA is down, but is this really an advantage?
DMX systems can be found with both wired and RF options and from what I can see may be my only option to have HA control and a wired wall panel control. But maybe wireless control is fine? Comment if you have been down this rabbit hole.
Manufactures I have seen:
Duet sells a DMX & Wireless RGB-WW In-Wall Controller
Ltech also has a similar system and seems robust according to marketing material
MiBoxer is another option but seems less robust.
Not used any of these so don’t know how easily they integrate with HA.
My big picture, in Oregon where it is overcast half the year I will have LEDs hidden above the windows and sliding glass doors. During the day the WW LEDs will mimic the sun, so every day light will appear to come from the windows, even with cloud cover. In the evening I can have daylight or flood the walls in color.
