Revainrating 4 out of 5

RF modules are bad but IR modules are a great replacement

*Review updated 6/19/2020 (IR modules): All 5 of my old RF (RF) modules were starting to burn upset and the seller replaced them all for free! They shipped all new devices with new IR (infrared) remotes and they work great! The only downside right now is that they are "point and shoot" so the receiver needs to be in line of sight to receive remote commands. It's ok for me, but maybe not the right solution for others. They're still finicky as they don't stay in place with male/female pin connections (deducting a star for that) and now they all keep falling off because I had to reinstall them all and the adhesive was compromised. I will go into that later. But the seller did everything right, and I will buy again in the future when we assemble our panel. Old Rating (HF Modules): Like it except 2 out of 4 are defective. They turn on in the middle of the night (I've woken up twice because of this) and I'm not sure if it's RFI or anything else, but if you keep your favorite static color settings, they eventually go into color sequence mode and iterate over all of them Colours. I took the batteries out of the remotes to take that out of the equation but they keep turning on or turning on by themselves! Too bad everything else I love about them. As I said, 2 out of 4 devices do it, the other 2 are fine.
