I ordered one of these from Ray.

The one I have doesn't have a 12V+ on the downstream side to connect to the strip. I figure it is okay if I just run a new +ve from the same power source to the strip and bypass the controller thing. Is this alright.
On mine there is only the blue (DI) and back (GND) wires coming from the controller.
It still says ws2811 on the controller but there is only 2 connections in the plug at the end which seems odd. You would think that should trigger off an alarm that it is not right.
