Recommended connection of 24V LED strips in home automation

if KNX is already available, then why ask about wifi China crap? Was that really meant seriously?!

Quite clear: eldoled 720d in combination with meanwell power supplies. best practice at the moment..

if KNX is already there, why then the question about wifi Chinese junk? Was that really meant seriously?!

Yes, the question was actually meant seriously
Of course, I would have preferred it wired. But the costs should remain low for now. Replacement with KNX/DALI/DMX drivers would always be possible later. Especially since in the first expansion stage probably only a very basic KNX with ETS Lite, i.e. 20 participants, will be available. The shutters are connected there and possibly a few switchable power circuits. I would prefer to expand KNX only when I know how much money is left
Of course, the wiring from the technical room to potential participants is already being prepared.

I know that some will say again now "if already KNX, then properly". I see it differently. Not everything has to be done via KNX. So far, our rental apartment is automated via FHEM and various technologies – works great. Nevertheless, IF NEEDED as much as possible should be replaceable by KNX.

Speaking of FHEM: Since I am so enthusiastic about FHEM and would like to continue using it, my current planning status is that I will use the WIFI-RGBWW-LED controllers developed in the FHEM forum. The control via FHEM is possible there, although unfortunately only wirelessly. In further research, I found out that there is neither a (simple) connection for DALI nor for DMX for FHEM.

Cost per controller (minimum prices): - KNX: 170 - DALI: 70 - DMX: I don't have an overview yet - WIFI-RGBWW: 15

I also learned that for modern residential lighting DMX is preferred by some "experts" compared to DALI and KNX. Therefore, I am now considering whether to prepare DMX-compatible cables right away instead of NYM 5x2.5². Does anyone know the cross-section of the conductors of a 5-pin DMX cable?

Your approach regarding KNX Lite is perfectly fine. That is exactly how it can be done.

But I wouldn't determine the hardware because of the logic engine. Have you ever tried Edomi?

Yes and no. On one hand, absolute agreement. On the other hand: If wired costs a few hundred more because of the controllers and then another 1,000€ more for ETS, then that's indeed a reason to first exclude good hardware. No, I don't know Edomi yet - thanks for the hint! I'll definitely check it out.

No, I don't know Edomi so far - thanks for the tip! I will definitely take a look at it.

What did you end up deciding on? I'm also considering how best to do it. I have 4-5 rooms where an LED strip is supposed to be used. Warm white-cold white is enough for me; I won't be using colors anyway.
