5 in 1 Wi-Fi Controller for LED Strips - Alexa and Google Assistant (WL5)

This LED strip controller is without doubt one of the most complete on the market! Plugging directly into your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network without additional control module, it controls any of the following types of LED Strips: Single Color, Variable White, RGB, RGB + W, RGB + Variable White. You can control up to 8 zones (you can put multiple controllers of the same type on one zone) using the app and an almost unlimited number of zones from your Google or Alexa assistant. The WL5 LED controller has wireless synchronization technology: if you have multiple controllers in the same area, these will relay the signal to keep you in perfect sync, giving you impeccable, seamless color changes every time.

The WL5 LED controller is intended for the intermediate to advanced user who is comfortable with Wi-Fi technologies and mobile devices. LED Montreal does not offer support for integrating the WL5 controller to your Google Assistant or Alexa system.

This powerful LED controller works on both 12 and 24V DC circuits and has a maximum capacity of 15 Amps. It is mainly designed to be connected to a mobile device or tablet via a Wi-Fi network and to be integrated to a Google or Alexa assistant. You can still combine the WL5 LED controller with a remote control or a wall panel. The controller must however be programmed beforehand via a mobile device in order to add a physical remote control.
