Single-zone rather than addressable, which is the honest difference between this and strips costing twice as much: the whole 5 metres shows one colour at a time, so the flowing multi-colour effects in the marketing images are not something this can produce.

The reason to own one is not to read the temperature -- your phone will tell you that.
Full details →Who the Syska Smart Wi-Fi RGB LED Strip Light 5 Metre with App and Voice Control is for

Avoid it if: Anyone without a hub, and anyone who only wants to see a number rather than act on it.
