I’m using a BanlanX SP548E controller with a PAUTIX RGB Smart IC COB LED Strip Light USB 5V lighting strip. I successfully connected it to Wi-Fi/cloud and Alexa can now:

• turn the lights on/off
• change colors
• control brightness

However, I cannot find ANY way to save custom static colors/scenes inside the BanlanX app.

A lot of posts/videos say:

• “just save the scene”
• “use the DIY section”
• “switch from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi/cloud mode”

…but in my version of the app there is literally nowhere to save anything. The DIY section appears empty/non-interactive. Long-pressing does nothing. There are no “+” buttons, save icons, naming dialogs, etc.

Questions:

1. Does the SP548E firmware actually support saving static custom scenes/colors for COB strips?
2. Is this feature hidden somewhere unintuitive in newer BanlanX app versions?
3. Is scene saving only available for RGBIC/effects/music modes?
4. Is there any workaround to get Alexa to trigger exact RGB/hex values instead of approximate named colors?
