Hi,

Noting can be done because there is no way to control the Ikea bulbs at fast speed. Philips bulbs incorporate proprietary protocol and only Hue Bridge know how to use it. If you want to enjoy the entertainment mode just buy a few meters of WS2812 leds strip and split it into multiple virtual lights for independent color control.

whats my best option if i want to keep my light strips

mariusmotea commented 5 years ago

What type are your light strips?

camatthew commented 5 years ago

standard rgbww strips from menards. I got a rgbcct controller because it combines the light one smart light rather than two. I used a gledopto controller from aliexpress.

Unfortunatelly you have no easy option, even if you use genuine Philips Bridge, the devices you have will not work in music mode because the lights don't have the future used by Philips for Entertainment protocol. If you have electronics skills you can convert the strips to esp8266, but it will be one light / strip. If you will buy WS2812 leds strip you may divide the strip in multiple lights and use just one esp8266 controller.
