RGBW LED Strip Light Kit Recommendations

[Justin Bodley]

Hi all! I will be building a media wall in our new house pretty soon. I pretty much know what I'm going to do, however, I have been looking at RGBW strips and I can't find any kits that would suit my needs. Basically I need 4 x 1m strips for the shelves and around 3m to go behind the TV (TV will be recessed with around a 1" gap all the way round.) These would need to be wired in parallel with a power supply and LED driver. I would like the driver to work with the Smartlife/Tuya app if possible. I'm guessing I will have to get the bits separately which is fine. I'm just not sure what size power supply and driver I would need to run 7m of RGBW strips. I see there are 12v and 24v variations? Any ideas or links would be great! Here is a very rough drawing of how it will look. Thanks in advance!

Never fitted them before but having looked at the strips they all come with a W/m rating, so sizing the driver is as simple as adding up your total metreage and multiplying by the rating. I'd probably add 20% and round up to the nearest available size so the driver isn't running full tilt all the time. 24V is probably preferable as it'll have a lower volt drop for the same sized cable.
