I recently freed up some space indoors to form a seedling station that will allow me to transfer plants out on the balcony during the growing season in my country, and for indoor pots in the off-season. It is a two-story shelf on the top of a cabinet.

However, there's no windows in this room, so I need some grow lights, and I require these lights to be controllable from Home Assistant. I had originally thought I could just use a microcontroller flashed with WLED and connect some LED-strips to this, but apparently it is only compatible with these ternary output LED-lights and not any full-spectrum LED strips.

Ideally I would be able to have control over sectors (at least two in each story) and be able to tune the red:blue ratio. However, I will be happy if I can land on a solution that allows me to control each story independently, which I guess I can achieve with a regular system connected to a Zigbee switch or something like this.

I found tons of these full-spectrum LEDs on Aliexpress for fairly cheap, but I am inherently skeptical about buying anything from here from a quality and safety perspective, and especially stuff connected to mains.

Anyone here have a sweet setup for this they'd like to share?
