FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How can the length of the Smart Light Strip be altered?
The length of the light strip can be both lengthened and shortened. Once shortened, it is unable to be lengthened again. To shorten the Light Strip, please cut on the indicated points below (about every 25 cm, or 9.8 in). To extend, please add the 1M extensions that are available.
**Can different types of Sengled Smart devices be used simultaneously?**
Yes, a single Sengled Hub can support up to 64 devices from the Sengled Smart LED family.
Do these have any functionality without a hub?
Yes, they do have a limited functionality without a hub. There is a single button on the controller which you can press to turn the lights on and off, or press and hold to cycle through various color options. I would highly recommend using them with a hub however, to enable access to the full spectrum of features, so to speak.
For the multicolor lightstrip, going around corners; are these cut and rejoined or can they just be carefully curved without making an extreme bend?
Yes. Sengled Light strip can be curved , cut and rejoined.
Can anyone recommend a connector to put between the 2m LED strip and the 1m extension so they are not right next to each other?
The manufacturer might be able to help you at: https://support.sengled.com/hc /en-us
Do these function without Wi-Fi?
Yes, they connect to a hub using ZigBee.
What is the length of this LED light strip?
The length is 2 meters, or approximately 6’6″.
How do strip lights connect to hub?
Please add devices in Sengled Home APP, choose “strip” and then scan QR Code on the side of the power switch, follow the instructions on the phone.
Can a cut the strip, or solder more to increase length?
My understanding (and current experience) is that once you cut a strip, you cannot connect it to another Sengled strip using 3rd party connectors. I cut a strip for under cabinet install and wanted to run an extension wire to another cabinet, but I’m finding out you can’t do that.
What power source is required for this light strip?
Regular 120-volt outlet.
Does this work with Homekit if I have the Homekit hub to connect it to?
This is a ZigBee light strip and is dependent on the hub to provide homekit capabilities. If your hub is homekit compatible, I don’t see any reason it shouldn’t work.
Is this one long 16.4ft strip or is it in sections?
It is split into 3 sections with a connection point at the front and end of each.
This kit includes a z01-hub smart hub. why is amazon telling me I need to purchase a z02-hub smart hub for this set to work?
Probably just a botched algorithm. There is no need to buy additional hub.
Are these 10mm or 12mm width strips?
The light strip is 12mm in width.
What power source is required for this light strip?
The power strip will need to be plugged into the wall; there is a cable attached to the controller.
