My goal is to attach an LED strip to the back of my office monitors and turn them on while I’m on a call, off when I’m available with a wireless on/off button. Looking to do this off wifi and without a smart home hub as it will be in the office & don’t want to cause IT a headache.

I know LED strips often come with a cheap little remote, but I worry it won’t be responsive enough - is there any way to set up a smart button style device to achieve this? Any product suggestions for LED strips / buttons? Thank you!

    Most of the Wireless led strips remotes work just fine for your purposes as long as the remote and receiver are close (ie. not hiding the receiver behind your monitor since most of them are RF)

    Also, if you do not want to cause IT a headache, don’t connect devices to the office wifi without their knowledge/approval.

    Take a look at Ikea since they have lightbulbs with matching zigbee remotes.
