Looking for a light strip or bar that can be controlled over zigbee or zwave from HA.
Something that has a plug/base to plug into a standard 120vac outlet and a light strip that connects to it.
From what I read, the Philips Hue Bluetooth strips support Zigbee but they are $$$.
Anything similar on the market?
This will be installed out in the open so don’t want a controller with screw-down terminals, etc…
Looking for a all-in-1 package.
If you are willing to stoop to using wifi instead, these are available pre assembled and flashed with WLED:
I don’t know of any smart lighting strips that do not have an external controller of some sort.
Looks like Gledopto has a bar that might fit your needs.
And I know that Govee has something similar but it’s WiFi.
Maybe if you added a little info on the use case it would help with the suggestions.
You have not mentioned what you are trying to achieve.
Ikea has maybe 3 dozens of flavours of light bars and lamps, for shelf / under cabinet / accent / nook lighting. Around a dozen if those could connect to their Tradfri zigbee driver.
And you can mix and match.
Thank you all for the input.
To clarify:
I want to add lighting to a closet.
To make things “future proof” I’ve added just a regular electrical box with an outlet to the closet ceiling.
Now I want to plug in and mount some kind of light strip there. It can have an external controller as long as all the connection are clean and not DIY looking.
I could install a Zigbee controlled outlet and just any light bar with a 120VAC plug… But wanted to see what other options are out there.
(Not affiliated at all, in case it wasn’t clear.)
Looks like Ikea would be a good fit. The heart of the IKEA thing is the drivers, and from there, you have got different styles / finishes / shapes / sizes / colors.
… along with typical IKEA fashion, with brackets and cable management… some light kits even comes with motion sensors… and integration kits with IKEA furniture products. (The way they did the video on this page is kind of an interesting demonstration.)
And… no, you do not need IKEA’s gateway or app.
Oh and, you likely can use those drivers to power non-IKEA LED strips.
