A Matter controller is needed — e.g. HomePod, Echo or Google Nest Mini (for Apple Home, iOS and HomePod 16.1 or later). No Zigbee gateway is needed.
An RGB+CCT strip controller with Matter over Wi-Fi: it joins Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa through a Matter controller (HomePod, Echo or Nest), with no Zigbee hub or Tuya gateway.

Specifications checked against the linked manufacturer documents. Load limits, package details and measurement conditions are retained.Checked 18 October 2026
Strip control type — what it meansA standard strip shows one colour along its whole length: the controller dims each colour channel (PWM). An addressable strip is driven over a digital data line, so each LED or segment can have its own colour — chasing lights, gradients, effects. The two strip types are not interchangeable. | Standard strips (PWM)The maker states it is not compatible with addressable strips [1] |
|---|---|
Supported strip types — what it meansWhich strips can be connected. Single colour — brightness only; CCT — white from warm to cool; RGB and RGBW — colour (W is a separate white channel); RGB+CCT — colour plus tunable white (5 channels); addressable — pixel strips. The strip type must match the controller mode. | RGB+CCTRGBCCT controller (R, G, B, C, W outputs); materials show standard and COB RGBCCT strips. Use with other strip types is not described [1] |
Connectivity — what it meansThe wireless link or network the device uses. Wi-Fi connects straight to the router; Zigbee, Thread and Bluetooth Mesh work through a hub or gateway. | Wi-Fi, MatterMatter over Wi-Fi [2] |
|---|---|
Control platform — what it meansWhich firmware and ecosystem run the controller. WLED is open firmware with a web interface and many effects, working on the local network. Tuya / Smart Life is a cloud app. Zigbee 3.0 connects to a compatible gateway or coordinator. Matter adds it directly to Apple Home, Google Home or Alexa. | MatterAdded to Apple Home (with HomePod), Amazon Alexa (with Echo) or Google Home (with Nest) via the Matter QR code [1] |
Hub required — what it meansWhether the device needs a separate hub, gateway or coordinator to work in a smart home. If so, it is sold separately unless stated otherwise. | RequiredA Matter controller is needed — e.g. HomePod, Echo or Google Nest Mini (for Apple Home, iOS and HomePod 16.1 or later). No Zigbee gateway is needed [3] |
Home Assistant — what it meansHow the device connects to Home Assistant: a built-in integration, a Zigbee coordinator, Matter or the maker’s cloud integration. | Via integrationGledopto does not mention Home Assistant; assessed from Matter, which Home Assistant supports through its built-in Matter integration [2] |
Matter support — what it meansWhether the device supports the Matter standard, directly or through a bridge. Matter lets you add it to Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant. | Native [2] |
Works without internet — what it meansWhether the device keeps working over the local network or through a hub when the internet is down. Cloud features (remote access, voice assistants) need the internet. | YesThe maker's page lists direct LAN control for Matter; a Matter controller on the same network is required [4] |
2.4 GHz RF remote — what it meansWhether the maker's 2.4 GHz radio remote or wall panel can be paired with the controller. Such a remote talks to the controller directly, without the app or a hub. | Not stated by the manufacturer |
Processor / radio chip — what it meansThe microcontroller or radio module inside, per the maker (for example ESP32). For firmware such as WLED and ESPHome it determines available features and whether the device can be re-flashed. | Not stated by the manufacturer |
App — what it meansThe maker’s app used to set up and control the device. | Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, Google Home (via Matter) [1] |
Strip voltage — what it meansWhich strip voltages the controller works with. Strip, power supply and controller voltage must match: a 5 V strip is destroyed by 12 or 24 V. Long runs more often use 24 V, which loses less brightness towards the end of the strip. | 12 V, 24 VWebsite and housing label say DC 12–24 V; the manual table says DC 5-12-24V. The website/label value is used [2] |
|---|---|
Maximum total current — what it meansThe highest current the controller passes on all outputs together. A strip's current is its power in watts divided by its voltage: for example, 5 m of 14.4 W/m strip at 24 V draws about 3 A. The current of the connected strips must stay below this value. | 20 A [2] |
Maximum current per channel — what it meansThe current limit for one colour channel or one output. It matters when the strip loads one channel more than the others — for example, the white channel of an RGBW strip or one long addressable run. | 15 A [2] |
Supply voltage — what it meansThe supply voltage (and current, if stated) as the maker gives it. It must match your mains or adapter. | DC 12–24 V (V+/V− terminals or DC barrel socket) [2] |
Colour channels (PWM) — what it meansHow many colour channels the controller has for standard strips: 1 — single colour, 2 — CCT, 3 — RGB, 4 — RGBW, 5 — RGB+CCT. Not applicable to purely addressable controllers. | 5 [1] |
|---|---|
Onboard extras — what it meansWhat else the controller has besides strip outputs: a microphone for music-reactive light, an IR receiver for a remote, a button or an input for a wall button, a relay output that cuts the strip's power supply when the light is off, USB-C power, a port for re-flashing. | Button on the housing, external button inputOn/Off-Dimmer and Reset buttons on the housing; Push terminals for an external momentary button [1] |
Mounting — what it meansHow and where it is installed: in a wall box, on a wall or ceiling, on a DIN rail, on a table or in a socket. | Surface (screws)Official photos show a housing with screw tabs; the fixing method is not described in text [2] |
|---|---|
Dimensions — what it meansThe device’s size in millimetres as the maker states it. Check that it fits the wall box, niche or shelf. | 108 × 45 × 18 mm [1] |
Ingress protection (IP) — what it meansProtection against dust (first digit) and water (second). IP20 is for dry rooms only, IP44 resists splashes, IP65 and up handle water jets and outdoor use. | IP20 [1] |
Weight — what it meansThe device’s weight without packaging, per the maker. | 60 g [2] |
| Housing material | Flame-retardant polycarbonate (PC) [2] |
| Recommended wire gauge | 0.34–4 mm² (22–12 AWG), 10 mm strip length [5] |
Certifications — what it meansStandards and certifications the maker lists for this model (for example CE, RoHS, Zigbee 3.0, Matter). | CE, UKCA, RoHS (marking on the housing) [5] |
Operating temperature — what it meansThe air temperature range the device is rated for. The lower limit matters outdoors, on balconies and in unheated rooms. | −20…45 °C [1] |
|---|
Colour — what it meansThe housing colour of this model. Other colours in the same series are separate products. | White [2] |
|---|
Package contents — what it meansWhat comes in the box, per the maker. | Controller, user manual, 3 cm sticker [6] |
