It's parallel. They are made to be connected and wired in parallel. Series would mean connecting your positive to one end of the LED tape and connecting the negative to the other end. In a series circuit, if one bulb fails, it will make the whole section turn off since the positive and negative have both been broken by the failure of that bulb's filament.

@@DIYReid what's the purpose of having the Wyze plug ins? I just need to know the process, so I feel comfortable doing this same setup. So how do you control both upper and bottom led strips to turn them on and off for both sides? Is thus something you control manage through the Wyze App?? And how do you use the Zigbee if you want to turn off and on your lights and bypass your schedule?? Thanks for answering my questions Reid.

The upper and lower strips are tied together. Each side of my cabinets have an outlet tied to a Wyze plug and I have an automation to turn them on and off at a certain time

How about talking about the extra wire you used and how you put that together???

Where did you get the button to turn them off and on?
