Overview
Beakn Strip Profile CCT Controller
The Beakn Strip Profile CCT Controller (also called the Profile Light Dimmer) is a WiFi smart controller designed specifically for tunable-white profile and cove LED strip lighting. It drives single-colour (cool white or warm white) and 3-in-1 CCT-tunable white 24V LED strips, delivering smooth dimming and warm-to-cool colour temperature mixing across two independent channels.
It sits in the middle of a three-part strip lighting system: strip + SMPS + controller. The SMPS converts 240V AC mains (live + neutral) down to 12V or 24V DC; the controller takes that DC input, receives WiFi commands from the Beakn app or voice assistants, and drives the strip accordingly. No hub is required. One controller covers up to 20 metres of strip.
This is a purpose-built product for spaces where clean, architectural white light is the goal — coves, under-cabinets, wardrobes, mirrors, desks, and hallway runs — as opposed to colour-changing or decorative applications (which use the Beakn RGBW Controller instead).

Installation
Installation & Wiring
System Overview
A complete strip lighting system using this controller has three parts:
```text
240V AC Mains (Live + Neutral)
↓
Matched SMPS
(converts to 12V or 24V DC)
↓
Strip Profile CCT Controller
(receives WiFi commands; dims/mixes CW + WW channels)
↓
LED Strip (CW / WW / 3-in-1 CCT)
```
Step-by-Step Installation
1.Plan the system. Measure total strip length. Confirm strip is single-colour (CW or WW) or 3-in-1 CCT (not RGB). One controller covers a maximum of 20 metres.
2.Size the SMPS. Calculate total strip wattage (strip W/m × metres). Add ~20% headroom. Choose a 12V or 24V SMPS to match your strip's voltage.
3.Run 240V AC mains (live + neutral) to the SMPS location. This work must be done by a licensed electrician. The SMPS connects to mains live and neutral; it is not low-voltage work.
4.Connect SMPS DC output to the controller input. The controller accepts 12–24V DC. Match voltage to your strip voltage.
5.Connect the strip to the controller output. Use the included 2-pin male connector (Type +CW). For CCT strips, ensure CW and WW wires go to the correct channels.
6.Power on the SMPS. The controller powers up.
7.Pair in the Beakn app. Download the Beakn app, create or sign in to your account, and follow the in-app pairing guide over 2.4GHz WiFi.
8.Configure voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Siri/HomeKit) via the respective app integrations.
Key Wiring Notes
•Mains (240V AC) wiring is handled at the SMPS only — the controller itself works at low-voltage DC.
•The SMPS requires live + neutral from the mains supply.
•Controller input: 12–24V DC from SMPS; output: 12V or 24V DC to strip.
•2-pin male connector (Type +CW) is included in the box.
•For runs longer than 20 metres, use one controller per 20 m segment and power each from its own SMPS (or adequately rated shared SMPS).
•A licensed electrician should handle all mains-side wiring.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
•If the internet goes down, schedules programmed into the controller continue to run locally — no internet needed for automations.
•App control still works on your local WiFi network during internet outages.
•Only remote access (outside your home) and voice commands require internet.
•The controller works only with WiFi 2.4GHz; 5GHz WiFi is not supported.
•If you are running more than 20 metres of strip, use one controller per 20 m segment.
•If the strip is not responding, confirm the SMPS is supplying 12–24V DC to the controller and that mains-side wiring is present at the SMPS (live + neutral), handled by a licensed electrician.
•For CCT strips, ensure CW and WW wires go to the correct channels.
•The controller is for single-colour (CW or WW) and 3-in-1 CCT tunable-white strips only; it is not designed for RGB, RGBW, or RGBWW strips.
FAQ
What exactly does the Profile Light CCT Controller do?
It takes 12–24V DC from an SMPS and uses WiFi commands to independently dim the cool-white and warm-white channels of a compatible LED strip, giving you both brightness control and colour-temperature adjustment — all from the Beakn app or voice assistants.
What strips is it compatible with?
Single-colour cool-white or warm-white strips, and 3-in-1 CCT tunable-white strips (with separate CW and WW elements), rated for 12V or 24V DC. It is not designed for RGB, RGBW, or RGBWW colour-changing strips — use the Beakn RGBW Controller for those.
Do I need a hub or bridge?
No. The controller connects directly to your 2.4GHz WiFi router and the Beakn cloud. No extra hardware is required.
Does it support Apple HomeKit?
Yes — the Profile Light CCT Controller supports Apple HomeKit (Siri), Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa. This is in addition to the standard Beakn voice platform.
How far can I run strip with one controller?
Up to 20 metres of strip per controller. For longer runs, use one controller per 20 m segment.
What does the complete system cost and require?
You need three things: (1) the LED strip, (2) a matched SMPS (sized to strip wattage + 20% headroom), and (3) this controller. The SMPS and strip are sold separately; the controller and its 2-pin connector are what this product covers.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Schedules programmed into the controller continue to run locally — no internet needed for automations. App control still works on your local WiFi network. Only remote access (outside your home) and voice commands require internet.
Can I dim a single-colour (non-CCT) strip with this controller?
Yes. It drives single-colour cool-white or warm-white strips with full dimming control, even if you don't use the colour-temperature mixing feature.
Is professional installation required?
The mains-side wiring (connecting 240V AC live and neutral to the SMPS) must be done by a licensed electrician. The low-voltage DC side (SMPS to controller to strip) is straightforward, but Beakn offers free installation in 8 cities for a complete, safe setup.
What is the standby power draw?
Less than 1W — negligible running cost when the strip is off.
What is the warranty?
3 years against electrical and firmware defects (Beakn standard warranty). Free installation is available in 8 cities.
Why does this controller support HomeKit but the RGBW Controller does not?
This controller is designed for architectural white-light use cases and includes Apple HomeKit support in addition to Siri, Google Assistant, and Amazon Alexa.
What app do I use?
Use the Beakn app on iOS or Android; it includes 20 features and requires no subscription.
