Zigbee Pro+ Mini LED Strip Controller
Connects an LED strip to your smart home so you can control it from the same app as your other lights. It's small enough to hide inside a cabinet or behind joinery.
Currently sold out.
Everything you need to know
Wire your LED strip into the controller and it shows up in your Hue, SmartThings or Home Assistant app. From there you can switch it on and off, dim it and, on a colour strip, change the colour. It needs a Zigbee hub to connect through, the small box many smart lights use: a Hue Bridge, a SmartThings hub, an Amazon Echo with Zigbee built in, or Home Assistant with Zigbee set up. Everything runs inside your home, so the strip keeps working if the internet goes down. It doesn't power the strip itself, so you'll also need a power supply that matches your strip. It works with 12 V and 24 V strips; the voltage is printed on the strip or its power supply.
Product features
Small enough to hide
It's about a third the length of the Pro Max, small enough to tuck inside a cabinet, behind a bedhead or behind joinery where a bigger controller won't fit. It still works with all five strip types, a wall switch and a remote.
Works with most plain LED strips
LED strips come in five common types: colour only, colour plus white, colour plus warm-to-cool white, warm-to-cool white only, and a single colour. This controller works with all of them. Just change the setting on the unit and you're ready to go. It runs 12 V and 24 V strips; for a 5 V strip, choose the Pro Max. It won't run pixel strips where each LED changes colour on its own (sold as addressable or RGBIC).
Enough power for a 5 m strip
It has plenty of power for a 5 m roll of the strip we stock. For longer LED strips, the Pro Max puts out more power and is the better fit. Add a fuse at your power supply to protect it.
Control it without your phone
Add a push-button wall switch: press to turn the strip on or off, hold to dim. It works even when your hub isn't available. You can also use Gledopto's own remote, which saves your favourite scenes.

42 × 38 × 17 mm and about 20 g, roughly a third the length of the Pro Max. It's made to hide inside a cabinet or behind joinery.
Get the Pro+ Mini if you need something small to hide away. Get the Pro Max if you have a 5 V strip or a long strip, or you want colour and white lit together. Both work with the same five strip types, wall switch and remote.
No, it only works with 12 V and 24 V strips. Some other shops list it as 5 V to 24 V, but Gledopto's own specs and the label on the unit both say 12 V to 24 V. For a 5 V strip, get the Pro Max.
Yes. It connects through a Zigbee hub: a Hue Bridge, a SmartThings hub, an Amazon Echo with Zigbee built in, or Home Assistant with Zigbee set up. It can't join your Wi-Fi on its own.
No. It controls the strip but doesn't power it. You'll need a separate LED power supply that matches your strip's voltage, wired into the controller.
No. On those strips each LED can show a different colour, and they need a different kind of controller. This one runs plain strips, where the whole strip shows one colour at a time. Addressable strips are often sold as WS2812, SK6812 or RGBIC.
A push-button switch that springs back when you let go, like a doorbell button. A normal on/off light switch won't work. Never connect mains power to this input.
Not directly, because it doesn't support Matter. You can still use it with Apple Home or Google Home if it's connected through a Hue Bridge or SmartThings hub, which pass it on.
Any plain LED strip that matches one of the five types. The one we stock for it is BTF-Lighting's FCOB RGBCCT strip: colour plus warm-to-cool white, 24 V, in 3 m and 5 m rolls. Its LEDs sit so close together that you see a smooth line of light, not dots. A 5 m roll is well within what the Mini can handle, so either length works.
Yes, but both strips act as one light, with the same colour and brightness. Run each strip's wires back to the controller rather than joining the strips end to end. Two of our 5 m BTF strips draw up to 130 W together, a bit over half of what the Mini can handle, and need a 24 V supply of about 160 W. If you want to control the strips separately, use one controller for each.
