The Philips Hue "Lightstrip Solo (RGBW, 300 cm, Indoor)" works as follows:

- Control via app: You can change the colour, brightness and intensity of the light using the Philips Hue app. This app offers over 60 presets and allows you to customise the lighting to suit your needs.

- Voice control: The lightstrip is compatible with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Assistant, allowing you to control the light using voice commands.

- Accessories: Although the lightstrip doesn't come with a remote control, you can use easy-to-install accessories, such as a dimmer or motion sensor, to adjust the lights without using the app or voice.

- Installation: Installation is quick and easy. The light strip is self-adhesive and can be stuck to any surface. Just plug it in and use it.

In short, you don't need a special remote to control the lightstrip, because you can do it via the app or voice commands.
