Review on LED strip ERA 5050-30-RGB-IP65-Wifi-5m, 5 m, LEDs: 150 pcs., 36 W by Bogdan Bogdanov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the product. Now I'm thinking of trying other types of Era products related to smart home. It is possible to shorten the tape yourself, at least it says so in the instructions, but I did not do it.

Pros
  • Didn't expect good quality for the price. But here they were surprised. I needed not very strong illumination of my workplace, so that Icomuld work at night and not get tired of my eyes at night. From lighting requirements: 1. Adjustable brightness 2. Ability to changecomlors 3.Connect to smart home with Alice. 4. Easy installation 5. Preferably inexpensive :) For all requirements, this backlight was suitable. Now for the parameters: 1. Adjustable brightness and about the ability to changecomlors: the instructions said that you need to install the SmartLife application (attached a screenshot). There was a small incident in that Icomuld not easily and simplycomnnect the tape to SmartLife. As a result, Icomnnected it thanks to acomment on YouTube (video ) - you need to hold the RST button for a long time. Finallycomnnected. I advise you to watch the video: it tells about many functions so that I do not write them here. 3. Everythingcomntacted Alice without any problems at all. But there at the moment you can notrun scripts (such as smoothcomlor changes) and there is no support forcomntrast management. These two actions can be done in the SmartLife app. But this is not critical for me, since it is not really necessary. 4. Mounting on 3M double-sided adhesive tape. Here I can say that everything has been holding up well for me for about 3 months. I don't know how long it will last, but I hope it will. 5. Price / quality ratio - perfect! Here at first I wanted a tape from Xiaomi (I saw the backlight from a friend), but then I decided to try Eru, since 5 meters of tape for this price (I bought it for 2680) is a weighty argument. See the photo, there are screenshots of both the backlight itself and applications: "Smart Home" from and SmartLife. I bought the backlight on 2022-06-02, they brought it the next day in the evening. The installation took about 10 minutes. And then Icomnnected the backlight to the smart home. The screenshot with the big "Enabled" button is from the Smart Home app from , and the other screenshots are from the SmartLife app.
Cons
  • Not quite correct instructions, in which: 1. QR code with a link to the application is not relevant. Not critical, but not pleasant 2. Instructions on how to connect the tape to the application are out of date and it will not be possible to connect according to the instructions. This is critical. But all problems can be solved with the help of a search on the Internet :)
