You’ll need a NeoPixel (WS2812B) LED strip and a controller that can handle them. A regular RGBW LED strip can only handle one color at a time for the entire strip, you can’t use it to show different colors on different segments like you’re showing in the photo.

Perhaps this is a good starting point: [[App] D.A.L.O.R - Digitally Addressable LEDs On Rest](https://community.homey.app/t/app-d-a-l-o-r-digitally-addressable-leds-on-rest/42127)
