Can you get multiple receivers with the same frequency to control more than one LED strip with one controller?

That would be beneficial; in the end I did not manage to find any RF receiver offering this option at ordering so I had to pull the wiring in a fashion that it allowed me to cover the full cabinet I was covering with one controller.

Yes, I have 2 separate strips controlled by one rf remote. I wish the remote/receivers could be paired together because I'd like to use other remotes in other parts of the house!

NO, unfortunately that has been a drawback for most of the remote controllers. Electronically it is completely possible, but the manufacturers/resellers will not accommodate this feature.

Pairing a remote to a controller:1. Remove power from controller for at least 5 seconds2) Apply power to controller and within 5 seconds hold down both 100% and 25% keys for 5 seconds

These remotes are programmable. One remote can be made (very easily) to control multiple dimmers that are included with each remote. I bought four and use only two remotes. The seller gave me the instruction sheet but I have no where to make it available. I did not buy from Amazon but paid a little more and got great service.

Each of the Radio Frequency (RF) Receivers I have received (some 7 now) have each been different and have not shown the RF used. One could write the manufacturer and request a batch that used the same RF, but it is not currently accommodated at the retail level.

Yes. With multiple units like this, you could theoretically daisy chain an infinite number of lights as long as you had a large enough power source. I have four strands going through a single dimmer module using four of these as power repeaters.

I don't know if the different switches have different frequencies, so I would expect that one switch would control two different units, but I cannot guarantee that to be true. You could buy two and see. If they are different frequencies you could tie them together, and if the same they would both turn off an on together. I hope this answers your question.

Hi Barb. It worked for me to connect 2 strips to the same power source and control them with the same controller. I haven't tried with 3 strips yet.

That would depend on the current draw of the 16ft LED strip. There is a 6 Amp max current draw for this Controller I do believe. Please check this to make sure. If your strip has a rating of say 1 Amp then you should be able to control 6 strips. This is perfect world answer and we don't live in a perfect world. I would start with 2 strips and run the current through a DMM and find out how much current they pull when they are producing White Light at full intensity. Then add 1 strip at a time till you get as high as you can go without going over 6 Amp's.

Unles you can get two receivers with the same frequency, you need two transmitters. Usually, no two transmitters are on the same frequency in order to prevent the opening of someone else door (or whqtever you want to control) by mistake.

I have an old one, and it has two binary dip switches under the plate, so you can select among four frequencies. Presumably this feature exists on this model as well. By setting the different dip switches differently, the two will not interfere with each other.

You can put up to 2 (maybe3) together depending on the power supply you are using. After that you must use a small amplifier for each of 2 more strips.

You would need to set each switch at a different frequency; this is an issue that my husband investigated before installing our switches. You may know already but you can only use one switch per lighting series.

Yes, you can use one remote for multiple strips. I put three strips around my kitchen (under one cabinet and above two others), but use only one of the included remotes to control all three. No instructions needed. I keep the other two remotes as "spares", in case I lose or break the first.

I have run 2 strips through one of those 133 channel controllers. Just set the length to 100. 6A power supply going into the controller. No problems. You will have no problems controlling 4 strips, and you can inject power as you stated if necessary.

I have 2 of these lights. Unfortunately you cannot connect 2 lights to one timer, but the timers use the same ir signal from the remote. Once you have the settings the way that you want, place the timers next to each other and both will receive the commands from one remote

You can control multiple lights using your phone with a RF-to-WiFi hub like Hook (http://kck.st/1Ius6tS)

Good question. I don't have an answer since I only have one strip plugged in. My assumption is that the LED's will operate as one. There aren't any switches or buttons to seperate their function. Personally, I'd have a controller for every strip (even though it accepts 3 strips). The effects are incredible. I'm looking into a controller with many functions as my next purchase. Hope this helps your decision.

Yeah just like the previous response, you can run multiple strips on one dc adaptor.

There is a connector on the other end to allow multiple strips to connect. However the power supply and driver module will limit the number you can connect. Two shouldn't be a problem, but not more than three.

Yes. All you have to do is match up the toggle settings (they control frequency) in your remote ( I believe there are 8) and copy the toggle settings in the Multicode receiver. They must be the same to work.
