Q: Why is the entire strip only one color instead of parts of the strip being different colors?
A: This is an RGB light strip, meaning that it will only ever be one color because of how it's wired. To have each segment be a different color, you need a WiFi adapter for each segment. For a color gradient across the strip without additional WiFi adapters, you need an ARGB strip where each light node is independent of the others.
