I’m going to be installing cabinets in my Dining Room niche and wired a switch to a wall outlet behind the cabinets. My thought was to plug the Upper/Lower cabinet lighting LED ballasts into this outlet and I could control the on/off and brightness but wouldn’t be able to control them individually. …

This looks awesome. In the meantime before this is released, would I get some other sort of smart lights that can sync with the switch? If you were to control them separately with say single tap for lower and double tap for upper … can you also dim each zone or are the scenes/zones just for on/off…

[image] forbes400: can you also dim each zone or are the scenes/zones just for on/off functionality? Off the top of my head and speaking theoretically, you’d need a pocket socket with dimming capabilities for each set of strips. Not sure what’s presently available for those that have dimming…

I use IKEA TRÅDFRI led drivers, and the related led strips. They are standard Zigbee lighting control devices, so have all the dimming and whatnot. They handle Zigbee groups flawlessly as well. I have like three drivers grouped together and they are perfectly in sync all the time. From there I jus…

[image] forbes400: I’m going to be installing cabinets in my Dining Room niche and wired a switch to a wall outlet behind the cabinets. Why are you looking at plug-in ballasts? If this is a new install you have a lot more flexibility. I’d be looking at direct-wire cabinet lighting and just wi…

I’d found this several years ago. I ended up wiring my dimmer switch to one half of an outlet behind where the cabinets will be installed, with the intent to connect the upper/lower cabinet LED strips to a driver that plugs into half of the outlet. The only thing I didn’t like was they would turn o…

I think you first have to determine the type of LEDs you want. It’s one thing to have a single color white LED strip and another thing to have RGB LED strips or RGB strips that will also display white. The type of strips that you use will to some extent dictate the driver in play. For example, I h…

[image] forbes400: I’d found this several years ago. The issue with this type of strip for under cabinet lighting especially can be seen in reply #16. Check the reflection on the counter. Even with a good diffuser, you usually end up seeing some amount of individual LED effect in the reflect…

I’m not 100% how the wiring is from the cabinet but I have a cabinet with an upper and lower light that each had a power cord that plugged into the wall. What I did was to get 2 smart plugs and plugged each plug into one of those. I then did a rule in Hubitat’s Rule Machine for an Inovelli switch …

If I double tap up and then hold can I have it brighten the lower cabinet lights whereas if I triple tap and then hold it will brighten the upper cabinet lights or are the scene controls just # of taps without hold and without the dimming ability of different devices?
