Color changing LED strips

[Mike Andrews]

It's wild that there are almost no YouTube videos showing that you can
extend the Hue Lightstrip with generic RGB LED strips.
That goes against our hacker ethic!  Light bulbs are NOT proprietary!

Here's one, with my comment:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vwun-3_eh

Basically, there are 4 or 5 leads going to the strip. One for each color
plus a common.  Just match those up.
I will prove this and post it myself.
