Hi,
I've just ordered some LED Strips which can be dimmed and come with an inline manual dimmer.
The plan is to have the LEDs on a timer but I wondered if it would be possible to have them fade in and out on the timer as well?
Could someone please explain to me in basic terms and steps how this could be achieved? I see people talk about controllers but what exactly are they and how are they programmed? Do you have to connect to a computer, program the time schedule, and sync to the controller? If so, would you then use a normal plug timer for the ON/OFF to the controller say 5 minutes before the scheduled dimming?
Sorry but my request seems like a common situation but I can't find clear, and basic, information on google or youtube.
Do not worry about replying in very basic terms, i'd welcome it
Cheers
