This one controller can independently operate 4 sets of strip lights? Or just the remote that is 4 zone and I need 4 controllers?

The remote is 4-zone, and can independently operate 4 sets of strip lights. But you need 4 controllers. When you want to control 4 sets of strips, you need one remote (ASIN: B00HEP269C) and some RGBW controllers (or RGB controllers) If the strips are RGBW, you need RGBW controller (ASIN: B00HEOW0T4). If the strips are RGB, you need RGB controller (ASIN: B00HP0AYYU).

Sorry to take so long I have been traveling, yes you could use the remote for more that one bulb, the only thing is that they would probably get out of sync ie: one or more bulbs would not get every command and you would not be able to make them all blue for example simultaneously, if you were to use one remote for several locations in your home, yes it would control them all These are very nice and considering the price and features they are exceptional, just don't expect them to behave like a DMX DJ system. Buy some you won't be disappointed considering the value and results, remember these are mood lights NOT reading lamps or suitable for DJ use.

If you're looking to simply CONTROL multiple strips with one remote without the strips being powered by the same AC outlet, heck it can be done. I have three strips in their own window in one room, and I turn them all on/off with one remote. Each strip is plugged into its own AC outlet, and as long as the eye of the control box is in range or isnt blocked, one remote can control them all at the same time. Was that the question? =o)

To: R. IyerYes, one remote will work on multiple bulbs but if their in close proximity to one another the remote will not keep the bulbs in sync. Say you have a ceiling mount light strip with five bulbs and you press the remote for red one or two may go to red while the others may go to other colors. The remote will not control multiple bulbs if used in this type of setup. Hope this helps! Mike

This is a single gang box controller that can turn on and off two different lights or items depending on how you use it. Be careful to make sure that the automation software or hub that you are using is compatible with it. Something like the ADT pulse would not recognize this. There are plenty of automation setups out there that recognize it but you will have to put some effort into it. Depending on your automation setup you should see two (2) separate "on/off switch" devices and a "scene controller" device . Best regards.

I cannot give you a solid answer on that, but Im pretty sure if you bout two strips, one remote would work on both.

Separate. Some type of ZWave controller is required for remote operation. This unit is simply ZWave ready

I only have the one remote and 6 lights. No problem. But they use a lot of batteries and its a bit expensive so I don't use these lights anymore.

i have six strips of varying lengths strung in series color to color and reduced to a single 4 pin connection to a controller and i have had no issues. 1 remote works.

Yes one remote would control both (or more than 2) dimmers. Unfortunately for those wanting to have several different sets of lights (for example ceiling lights and plugged in table lights on two different dimmers) this can't be done. All the remotes and switches use the same IR code so you can't address each dimmer separately. A big shame.

It's all on the same frequency so one remote will control all lights. Assuming you are asking because you would like the different sets of lights to dim independently, you can set the favorite on each switch to your preferred level and use that button to achieve the desired effect. For instance, in my application I have two switches, one controlling the front lights and the other controlling the back. I set my favorite to turn the from lights off and dim the back lights 80% when I hit the button during movie time.

Yes. One remote will control them all, but not all at once. Each one has to be set individually. To control them, you have to point the controller directly into the bulb. Good news is, that once set, they remember the last setting when you turn them back on, and you will have 4 or 5 spare remotes.

From my experience with this light switch, there is only one IR code and consequently no way to separately control multiple light switches in the same room. The Belkin Wemo light switches might better suit your needs.

The strips need to be all connected to the same remote. The IR pick up triggers the lights and gets it's commands from the remote.

I don't know how you would do that. All 5 of them are coded differently so they don't all come on or go off at the same time. Why wouldn't you want to use the remote that comes with it?

Yes you can. It will control both the RGB and the WW leds (they alternate between a RGB led and WW led on the strip). It will not control both RGB and WW at the same time. You can have one or the other on, either color or just white lights, not both RGB and WW at the same time. To get around this issue, (and have maximum light output with the RGB AND the WW leds on at the same time, you will need to add one more controller (amazon #B00HEOW0T4) to control each seprately. My RGB leds are controlled with zone 1 one the remote by one controller only hooked up to the RGB outputs on the controller. My WW leds are controlled by zone 2 on the remote and controlled by a separate controller only hooked up to the WW outputs of the second controller. The V+ is jumpered between the 2 controllers. This will give you full control of all the LEDs on the strip. I drive 4 zones of 32' each. Zone 1 is inside 32' of RV RGB leds, Zone 2 is inside 32' of WW leds on same strip, Zone 3 is outside 32' RGB leds, Zone 4 is outside 32' of WW leds. One remote, 4 controllers. I can have both RGB and WW leds on at the same time, giving me pastel colors and maximun light and control. Hope this helps

yes if it 5 amp or more you will be-able to run 4 light strips just on a 5 amp the more amps you run the more light strips you can run because they pull about 2.2 amps per strand and the remote has its own battery that power right there is the same one i use a my bar and i have 8 strands on it with no problems so yes i say use it
