BTF-LIGHTING RB3 2.4G Wireless Touch RF Remote for SPI Chasing RGB RGBW LED Strip Light 4 Zone Control Match with SP530E SP630E SP633E SP634E SP638E SP639E SP63BE

I have three of these and they work consistently every timeI would say if your actual strip isnt lighting up, don’t just leave it plugged with the wires and stuff. unplug it because you don’t want to like burn out part of it while you’re troubleshootingI can almost guarantee it has something to do with how much of the wrapping on the cable you stripped or if there’s enough contact between the little wires and the contact plate inside the thing like sometimes when you clamp it down if you didn’t take off enough you’re clamping down on rubber so it’s not actually conducting anything. If you get a flicker, maybe the wires wrapped back around or something but you want to clamp directly onto the wires. and that sounds simple, but I literally have issues with it every time. that’s just how these things are. I’ve had the same type of hook up with other devices and converters and things and always there’s some struggling.Also, if you get a flicker, you wanna unplug it right away because it probably means that like one of the wires is not in but the other ones are so those ones are trying to conduct power, but there’s too much power going through them and you can destroy the strip.

Its surprising how hard this was to find..i was looking for a way to control my pc's lights without a button so this was perfect. I like the remote option but i also want something i could control from my phone so this again was perfect. It was super easy to set up and they give you the option to connect to a simple 5v light or a 12v both with different power inputs. Color rage is amazing and has every color you light can support. I also like how compact it is and that they include the screwdriver as it's pretty small and i dont think the average household would just have that size on hand. Overall such a simple idea thats so hard to find for some reason and it comes at a reasonable price. Definitely a specific product for a specific need but this is your best option for it.

The app isn't great but its functional. It crashes frequently on Android. Operation is somewhat intuitive but the installation instructions are terrible and 30 minutes of trial and error will be your friend. As a novice in using LED tape lighting, a better instruction book/pdf would have been nice. Also during installation, the PLASTIC CONNECTORS between LED lights and wires MATTER and will consume 90% of your installation time if you don't know how they work or if you get the wrong item. I listed the connectors liked below.My 'hopefully' helpful hints for what they were worth:This SP630E unit adds Bluetooth and remote control functionality to the WS2812B LED Strips. It is also the interface that transfers power from the transformer to the LED Tape and generates the signals that the LED tape needs to work. This box works well, it is small and can be discretely hidden, but instructions are poor. You can program light sequencing, colors, timers and response to sound with the app. A dedicated remote control is available in different kits or might be sold separately, but you don't need the remote if you plan to control these lights from your phone. The remote is simple and has preset controls for most of what you can do with the lights, but the app (free) allows a little more functionality and control. To use the app, you first have to Bluetooth pair it with the SP630E controller.I had a lot of missteps doing my ordering and first installation of LED lights. My installation was a 6 self, 8 foot high bookcase that I wired as one continuous length but with 5, 12" vertical wire jumps and 48" horizontal LED runs. I was able to hide all the vertical wires fairly well. I goofed up and had to splice a few of the horizontal LED strips but those spices were easy using these flat connectors:Some additional flubs that hopefully you wont repeat:1. Get a 5V transformer (DO NOT use12V) to power the WS2812B strips2. Its not complicated. The WS2812B LED strips require only 3 wires for full functionality:--Use a red wire to connect the voltage tab (+5V) on LED strip with the "VCC" port/terminal on the SP630E unit--Use a green wire to connect the middle metal tab (DIN) on the LED strip with the "WC" port/terminal on the SP630E--Use a white wire to connect the ground metal tab (GND) on the LED strip with the "GND" port/terminal on the SP630E3. The WS2812 LED strips are fairly dense (maybe 2" apart and can show every color and groups of LEDs can be programmed somewhat independently4. Always pay attention to the arrows when you combine LED strip pieces. The arrows should always be pointing AWAY from the SP630E. If you connect part of the LED strip pieces the the wrong way, the entire strip will not work.5. Cut straight across the middle of the LED strip metal tabs (where all the arrows are located) between the lights. Connecting a LED strip directly to another LED strip was easy...usinghttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NASHQPO?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleJust make sure you place the strips tabs under the connector tabs. The 90% elbows in the kit were kind of crappy and tended to be too floppy to reliably connect...probably just me, but the straight connectors were fine, the elbows were a waste.6. If you want to connect a 3 conductor wire the LED sections (to jump a distance without lights), the ONLY connectors that worked for me was https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PR418WZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleI wasted a ton of time trying other ways to connect them. These connectors specifically have 3 small holes on one side to stick the wires in. On the opposite side you stick the metal tab end of your LED strip in, FACE DOWN. The LED metal tabs must face down in the connectors. Be careful that GND connects to GND, +5V connects to +5V and DIN connects to DIN across these connectors. You must click down hard on each side to make an electrical contact take place inside the connectors. The LED tape connection side is a bit tricky to line up, but look thru the clear plastic to ensure that the metal tabs line up inside the connectors. Unfortunately, once you snap either side of these connectors shut, its almost impossible to open them back up if they don't make good contact with the metal embedded inside the connectors. If this is your first time working with these lights, you will waste some connectors. You will wind up cutting LED lights off when you mess up the positioning within the connectors. I got better & faster with every section that I did.Ultimately, you can absolutely do these projects but there is a learning curve.

Nice

This unit was easy to connect to the recommended BTF WS2811 RBG strips that was part of the purchase , Downoading the app and connecting to the unit was was also easy. Flipping though the various pre-programed lighting modes was simple and made for some impressive visuals.... that is until it because evident that the LEDs were ONLY rendering in Red, Blue, and Green. The only time other colors like yellow, orange, purple, cyan, white, etc. would show is if the particular mode only lit a small portion of the strand (like the Dot Spin mode). Trying to manually select a solid color for any of the 16 million colors supported by the strands was pretty much impossible, or at least extremely limited and finicky at best.There was a firmware updated suggested upon loading the app the first time and I suspect that it has a fundamental flaw. Will be returning.

Good product and good support too.

I used this for an install on some RGB lights on my boat. Connected the positive and negative to an accessory switch and easy hook up. comes with directions for all different types of of led lights and wiring. the quality is fairly good especially being bluetooth and having a remote. best value for the price and its not too big and fits snug. I would highly recommend this controller. Easy to use if you are familiar with led strips and able to follow directions. I didnt buy oem. controller and saved a lot money

Used great first. Kind of wonky now. Doesn’t appear to be durable, functions sometimes, turns off other times. Didn’t use remote controls much.
