Multiple Led strips one controller & Domoticz

Post by rgroothuis »

I want to add simple multiple white led strips in a storage room so that searching for stuff becomes easier. Because of this I need multiple led strips to be connected under shelfs. I want to use one on/off controller and which also needs to be controlled by Domoticz.

What is the best solution for this?
- How to connect the multiple led strips (in serie, parallel) how does this work?
- Which controller to use?
- Which power supply to use?
- Which white led strip to use?

Any suggestions?

At Action (discount store in the Netherlands) you can buy cheap warm-white ledstrips with a length of 5 meters. You can cut them and solder wires between the parts. If you need more length you can buy multiple strips. The adapters are included with the ledstrips. You can put the adapters in a 'stekkerblok' with a simple klikaanklikuit switch (wich you can also buy at the action). You only need a RFXcom to control it, or you can use IKEA hub and switch tradfri or something.

If you want to dim the strips use can use my simple ledstrip controller based on ESP8266.
