Welcome to the Forum, @earlkeim! 
Thank you for taking the time to share such a positive experience! My time here began when I was looking for answers about splitting and reconnecting the Light Strips because I wanted to install some beneath kitchen cabinets and needed to span some gaps. A year later (I guess it’s been over three years since I did that project), I signed up to actually post to the Forum, and one of my first posts was follow-up on my experience with the hope that it would help others. I like the idea of giving back.
I also really like Video Doorbell v2 and troubleshooting issues with those, and I’m glad that you’re having a good go with it.
