IR Controller
An infra red (IR) receiver changes the colour of the strip by means of a hand-held IR remote. This solution has limited range and requires line of sight between the remote and the controller.

2.4GHz RF Controller
An RF receiver connected between the driver the and LED strip receives radio frequency signals from a hand held remote or a wall controller to control the colour of the LED strip. This is a highly flexible option with some controllers allowing the strip or flex to be divided in to multiple zones.

Wifi
For a receiver with support for Wifi control, the LED strip or neon can then be controlled using a downloadable app. on any Android or IoS mobile device.

Alexa
The latest generation of controllers have support for voice command using Alexa available on the Amazon Echo.

DALI Controller
DALI is not an ideal way of controlling coloured LEDs as it is a designed more for channel addressing. However, by using a 3-channel or a 4-channel DALI interface it is possible to use for RGB or RGBW LED strip control.

DMX Controller
DMX512 protocol is the most powerful way of controlling colour changing LEDs. Using a laptop to program a DMX sequence or using a DMX master control panel it is possible to create advanced lighting effects.
