@Brettski  Great job ! Do you have some more detailed  pictures of the connections you made? Some folks are posting strips that are not the 430 and connect differently- thank you in advance

  @Nickp001 it's really straight forward.

I bought this kit https://www.amazon.com/BZONE-Connector-Extension-Waterproof-Connection/dp/B08B7QQ1YP?th=1

I cut the LED strip straight across where it indicates on ths strip... model (KL420L5) https://www.amazon.com/Kasa-Smart-SmartThings-Brightness-KL420L5/dp/B09QBD5J7S/

I peeled back the sticky backing from the strip.

Pushed the strip into the clip as far as I could, squeezed it down hard, it clicked on both sides of the clip to ensure it was secure.

I pushed the wire into the other side as far as I could, squeezed it down hard, it clicked on both sides of the clip to ensure it was secure.

Repeated the process for the other side of the strip/wire (MAKING SURE THE WIRE WASN'T CROSSED CONNECTION)

Plugged it in... worked. Took 5 minutes because you don't have to expose the strip/wires, the clips pierce the strip and the wires by design.

  @GTOOOOOH thanks Again- just saw this - is this a 420 or 430 strip?

  @AMLS read the post, slowly, carefully...

  @GTOOOOOH LoL - I did - I guess we are posting anywhere- trying to find some help with the 430 - although this doesn't help me any- I do appreciate the communication
