Hi All,

I'm looking for a good way to control multiple LED light strips around a boat from multiple control points.

What I'd like is wall mounted controllers that are set to control the strips in the room with some basic options like on/off/white/dim. Along with this we'd like to be able to use phones to control zones with more options like colour and patterns. I've seen the DMX stuff which may be viable to control everything but havent found suitable wall mounts.

The trouble with the wall mounts seems to be controlling only white light from a RGB strip without all the color options, In the middle of the night turning on and off the light needs to be able to be done without turning on disco mode

Has anyone done anything like this before or know of products that would be suitable?


Cheers

Full RGB control via your phone or a hidden panel. And simple wall switches that just switch power to all 3 colour lines so you get white.

Buy Philips hue led strips which come with controller and then add your own LEDs to it with some amps etc. you shoulld find instructions on the net regarding it.

Same Controls as hue bulbs on iPhone or write your own custom controllers via JSON commands
