4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Requirements

• Compatible LED strip light (RGB, RGBW, RGBWW, CCT, or Dimmer type).
• DC12-24V power supply (appropriate wattage for your LED strip).
• ZigBee 3.0 compatible hub/bridge (e.g., Tuya Smart Hub, Amazon Echo Plus, Echo 4th Gen, Echo Studio, Echo Show 2nd Gen).

4.2 Wiring Instructions

The controller features push-in terminals for easy and secure wire connections. Ensure 10mm wire preparation and use 0.3-2mm² wire gauge.

1. Prepare Wires: Strip approximately 10mm of insulation from the ends of your LED strip wires and power supply wires.
2. Connect Power Supply: Connect the DC12-24V power supply to the 'INPUT' terminals on the controller. Ensure correct polarity: V+ to V+ and V- to V-.
3. Connect LED Strip: Based on your LED strip type, connect the corresponding wires to the 'OUTPUT' terminals. Refer to Figure 3 for specific wiring configurations:
   • RGB+CCT: Connect R, G, B, C, W, and V+ wires.
   • RGBW: Connect R, G, B, W, and V+ wires.
   • RGB: Connect R, G, B, and V+ wires.
   • CCT: Connect C, W, and V+ wires.
   • Dimmer (Single Color): Connect V- and V+ wires.
4. Secure Connections: Gently lift the connection terminal, insert the wire, and then press the terminal down to secure it. No tools are required for this step.

4.3 Pairing with ZigBee Hub

After wiring, power on the controller. The indicator light will flash, indicating it is in pairing mode. Follow your ZigBee hub's instructions to add a new device. Once paired, the indicator light will stop flashing and remain solid.

5. Operation

5.1 Smart APP Control

Once paired with a ZigBee hub (e.g., Tuya Smart Hub), you can control your LED strip lights using the corresponding mobile application.

• Color Adjustment: Select from 16 million colors for RGB/RGBW/RGBWW strips.
• Color Temperature: Adjust the white light from warm to cool for CCT strips.
• Dimming: Adjust brightness from 1% to 100% for all compatible strip types.
• Scene Modes: Apply pre-set or custom lighting scenes.
• Scheduling: Set timers and schedules for automatic on/off or scene changes.
• Group Control: Control multiple GIDEALED controllers simultaneously by grouping them in the app.

5.2 Voice Control (Alexa)

The controller supports direct connection with Amazon Alexa devices that have a built-in ZigBee 3.0 protocol, such as Echo Plus, Echo (4th Gen), Echo Studio, and Echo Show (2nd Gen). A separate ZigBee hub is not required for these specific Alexa devices.

• Discovery: Once connected to a compatible Alexa device, ask Alexa to discover new devices.
• Voice Commands: Use commands such as:
  "Alexa, turn on [Light Name]"
  "Alexa, set [Light Name] to warm white"
  "Alexa, dim [Light Name] to 50%"
  "Alexa, change [Light Name] to blue"

5.3 Manual Control

The controller features a 'Push' button and an 'Opt' button for basic manual control and configuration.

• Push Button:
  • Short Press: Toggles the LED strip on/off.
  • Long Press: Initiates dimming functionality.
• Opt Button:
  • Short Press: Cycles through and matches the corresponding LED strip type (RGB, RGBW, RGBWW, CCT, Dimmer). The indicator light will change color to reflect the selected mode (White for RGB+CCT, Yellow for RGBW, Blue for RGB, Green for CCT, Red for Dimmer).
• Reset: Long press the 'Reset' button for 5 seconds to factory reset the controller and enter pairing mode.

6. Maintenance

• Keep the controller clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the controller to extreme temperatures or humidity.
