Work well, easy to activate, but glue is inadequate

Very Good, but not without some caveats
This light strip was purchased to replaced my Govee LED strip installed as a TV halo on my 65″ LG. Since an update earlier this year, the Govee app has made connecting the strip to Wi-Fi impossible. Not to mention, the Govee app is just horrible in general. It was time to let it go, so I bought this Kasa Smart LED strip.I already had a Kasa Smart light bulb which works perfectly and whose accompanying app is simple, clean and, best of all, works. It was no-brainer to go with Kasa this time for the LED strip.Good: It’s bright.Has more color options than the Govee.Seems very well made.The app is pleasant to use.Not-so-good: The PU coating on the strip makes it VERY difficult to bend in a 90 degree turn, such as when lighting the rear perimeter of a TV. It is too thick to bend into a right angle at corners without protruding far out from the surface.And, because it doesn’t bend well, the not-very-good adhesive keeps lifting away as the strip gets near the corner. Every time I walk by the TV, I reach back and press the strip down hoping one day it will just stay put all the way.Also not very good is when the light strip is dimmed. I usually keep it in a soft white color (about 4000 kelvin color temperature) and at 100% brightness. When I dim it to about 15% for, say, movies, or whatever, it goes from 4000k to 1000k, which is really orange-looking. The crappy aforementioned Govee did not do this. It handled maintaining color temperature well when it was dimmed. I was bit surprised this seemingly higher quality LED strip did this.Other than those things, it is a well-made strip with a good app, so I will keep it until I find a better LED strip at around the $20-$40 price range.

Good set of LED
Great set of LED for behind a TV or a room or whatever. I’ve used them for Drum Hoops, back of TV, under cabinet lights. Nice product.

Worked for the first year or so…
Update: after just under 2 years, all my LED strips have started going offline every month or two, all at the same time, and require a complete reinstall which takes a good half hour. Super annoying. I don’t know if there was a firmware or app update that destabilized everything. All my bulbs and switches have worked flawlessly so I know it’s not a problem with my network. Also, two of my LED strips no longer respond properly to scheduling on the app, i.e. they turn on randomly and don’t turn off when they should. Reinstall doesn’t fix the problem. I loved these lights but don’t know that I’d buy them again after all this.Original review: I recently built myself a house and have 7 of these light strips installed in various places, mostly as uplighting. I’m generally really happy with them but had a frustrating time with installation. I’ll break this into installation and functionality / app interface.Install: For a normal use case, installation really couldn’t be easier. The app walks you through step by step and has never failed me. But I had unusual circumstances, and these Kasa lights weren’t well designed for going off-script. I have a 12V transformer in my utility room that feeds power to all my LED strips, allowing me to have them all on one switch, controllable by anyone who doesn’t have my phone. I found that if I accidentally reversed the polarity of the wires when wiring power to the controller modules, the modules burned out instantly. This is an absolutely trivial thing to protect against on a circuit board, costing mere pennies in additional diodes/hardware. Thumbs down for cheaping out on this.The LED strips also failed where I needed to solder in an extension between the controller and strip (because the strip was located more than a few feet away from the power supply). This strip now works on solid colors but flickers when switching colors, so I can’t run effects on it. Again, this won’t affect most users but if your use case requires cutting and extending any part of the wiring, don’t expect these to perform properly.App control: incredibly responsive. Most of the time lights turn on/off instantly. I also have a bunch of Kasa bulbs, switches, and smart plugs, and they all work perfectly. Coming from a 1st generation Hue system (absolutely terrible reliability), Kasa leaves little to be desired. Here’s what I wish they would change:1. All my lights are scheduled to turn on some number of minutes after sunset, which I love. But the app only allows you to turn them on/off up to 59 minutes before/after sunset/sunrise. Why not add an hours wheel so you can have them turn off, say, 4 hours after sunset?2. The claim of 16 million colors is a joke. Not that these 16-bit RGB LEDs aren’t capable of it, but the app interface limits the color options profoundly. With a 2″ color wheel on the app and a 3/4″-wide index finger, I’d be surprised if I could select more than 100 different colors. Until Kasa adds a 0-255 RGB slider interface, their “16 million” claim is more than a little disingenuous.

The adhesive is just as expected from such strips (Not good) but the upsetting part is that it says it Works with Smartthing and while it does not all functions are carried forward like lighting model and scenes or automation.

Buen producto, muy práctico y de gran iluminación, a diferencia de otros este se puede controlar por secciones
