I have been wanting to add some LED strips in a few places. Mainly above/below kitchen cabinets, basement stairs and closets.
BLUE DIAMOND supply professional and honest service.
Just ordered this for the pantry, its not smart enabled, but has a self contained door sensor. I do not need to automate this light.
The kitchen and basement stairs I would like to be able to connect to the hub to automate and control however I need.
I am not afraid to buy a roll of LED in bulk, cut and connect wires, etc... if it saves me some money. Its just hard to find anything except premade kits on Amazon and I dont know where else to look for good prices and what to actually buy once on these other sites.
Also would need a controller module and supply. Zigbee or Zwave is fine. Found some decent looking controllers on Amazon but then not sure where to start as far as looking for lights to attach to them.
RGB would be fine above the cabinets, RGBWW would be ideal for under cabinets (or maybe just white CT).

Gledopto makes zigbee controllers you can add to a hue hub or directly to hubitat. Or if you want to go the addressable LED route I would pick up a quinled dig-uno or dig-quad depending on your needs and use WLED that comes preinstalled on those units. They are wifi based but there is a community driver for them. Both of those options will require a separate power supply as well. I've never used the gledopto controllers but have read good things. I currently have 2 quinled units installed and they work flawlessly, have another one in a drawer waiting to be installed also. Side note, the quinled units are also locally controlled, no cloud whatsoever.
Edit: For LEDs I've used superlightingled.com multiple times with no issues and also BTF lighting on amazon and AliExpress.
Curious where you've gotten to on this project.
Just looked at the site @dsh suggested above and I've already had to rethink what I thought was the way you install this stuff under kitchen cabinets. I assumed the "right way" was in channels, but I guess if you're never going to see these strips that doesn't matter.
Then when it comes to control, I really only want some ability to adjust the color temp of white to adjust to the optimal function...which I could lock in on but I'd rather have some flexibility.
Still looking for "the package" that would offer about 5 meters of cut-able strip to make up into two separately controlled (Zigbee) runs on each side of the kitchen (under cabinets) and the extra driver/control.
