Jason,
Does the Wyze Light Strip Pro allow for the individual segments to be controlled separately by the rules… i.e… can I blink just one segment?

thank you,
SJ

That is not yet a feature, I am trying to see if that is something they would be able to pull off in a future upgrade.

I would love this. I got the pro strip because “16 customizable segments” only to find that I can’t customize them. It’s whole controller and that’s it.

It was super disappointing not to be able to make my own, and even more disappointing to find that the scenes don’t mix colors on the strands, so my living room is like having a color bulb on each side of the room.

I would also love a boat friendly, Waterproof version of the wyze pro color strip. I would certainly demo it for everyone!

any plans for updates for Wyze light strip pro for holiday season. It has been 2 years …
still hoping for slower transitions…

Are there Any light strip pro updates in progress to slow down the transitions?

I don’t believe so.

While I can’t officially speak for Wyze, from past responses in AMAs, etc I believe they’re mostly considering the lightstrips as “stable” and not intending to introduce any modifications that could cause a never ending cycle of new bugs/maintenance costing them money unnecessarily. They would be more likely to simply launch a new set, maybe if they decide to comply with the CSA’s new Matter standard for them. I guess it’s also possible they could eventually end up adding an update to make these matter compatible too if the controller can support the libraries for it. If so, it’s possible they could also add some highly requested features at the same time. I just think it’s more likely they’ll do a new one. I probably would in their shoes.

Thanks @carverofchoice for update/insights.

Do you happen to have a light strip pro? Or perhaps someone else here who has one can clarify for me.

Maybe ours is just not working properly. There is a control to speed up and slow down the transitions but I do not see much if any difference from slow to fast …

I do have one, but I admit that I have never played with that feature, so I would trust your experience over mine. It does seem logical that it should be a very noticeable difference though.

I do, and I notice in your screenshot you have the “Leap” Effect selected. I do notice a difference in the Slow vs. Fast transition times with that effect (also using three colors), but with some other effects, like “Shooting Star”, there seems to be very little difference (if any) at all in the transition speed, even at the extremes of the Speed slider. I agree that the transition speed range should be widened in order to achieve slower (gentler? more peaceful?) effects.
