LED Backlight for mirror - PIR to control them

Different strips have different ways they need to be programmed. Some have faster refresh rates than others.

Most people will suggest ADA102 for beginners. The strips I linked to are LPD8806. As I mentioned previously the only reason I bought those ones is that MMM-PiLights was programmed to use them.

Any stats etc on comparison between LPD, APA102, WS2812 and SK series. I find that WS2812B isn’t always able to render all colors properly.

Anyone know a way to control hue light strips to turn on/off via the pir sensor?
