If you don't mind going the DIY route, you could probably come in under $100 for parts for the strips:

• Channel for mounting - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LL2SLME/
  
  Instead of the flat channel, you might be better off with angled channel for mounting the strips above the cabinets, since they'll throw more light on the wall, which is what you'll actually see - https://www.amazon.com/LEDwholesalers-Aluminum-Mounting-Installations-1901-V/dp/B00PJSSD7K/
  
  There's a ZWave RGBW controller but it's more expensive than the wifi one and can take some more configuration: https://www.amazon.com/Fibaro-Micro-Controller-Z-wave-Strips/dp/B00P1N68FW/
  
  If you get the snap-on connectors, I recommend putting a small amount of solder on all of the pads where you'll be connecting them on the strips, so that they make a good connection.
  
  As for the puck lights, you could probably get something like this and wire the distributor to the wifi/ZWave controller, instead of plugging it into the controller it comes with: https://www.amazon.com/Changing-Christmas-Furniture-Ambiance-Lighting/dp/B01N2I47VH/ref=sr_1_2

And here are the details of my build.

The basic circuit is:

[power brick positive] -----> [switch] --------> [Induction module] ----------> [power brick negative]

Here is the list of purchased parts I used:

• 5A rated Momentary switch
  
• 12V 5A power brick, with screw terminal adapter
  
• 5V-12V ZVS induction heating module
  
• Glass taper adapter
  
  The items I had laying around are a mason jar (cleaned with new lid), 18 gauge speaker wire, and ferrule crimps.
  
  The wire is cut to length, stripped ~1/8" (3mm) at each end, a ferrule is crimped on each end, and then inserted into the screw terminal. The ferrule is not mandatory, but it provides a more secure connection that bare wires, and I think its important to include when many people on this sub do not have background working with circuits.

I was looking at something like this: power adapter
5 amp seems more than sufficient

i think they were just kidding, but seriously, these are great. as i'm in the middle of a build right now, i have to ask: have you had any luck with the kastar PSU or is there one you recommend more? this is the one I've got in my cart at the moment but if you think the one you linked would be better i'd save a couple bucks. thanks for your wiring diagram, btw!

Something like this is better suited. You'll probably want to check if the size is correct, but it's usually that size with 12V.

Chanzon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QTNF9F) is the one that I used. I just ordered the Kastar (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TUMDWG/) - it should arrive tomorrow. I'll try that and report back!

Damage to the drives would only happen if you used a really crap 12V PSU. If you're shopping on Amazon, you'll want something with a name brand and proper certifications attached, so basically anything that isn't the bottom of the barrel. Assuming you matched the voltage and polarity the only thing that can get damaged is the PSU. If you pull too many amps through it, it'll either burn out or catch fire, so I never ran more than four drives per PSU.

Also, splitters totally exist, pretty much all of those drives use a standard barrel jack and the same kind of wall-wart. The only thing you need to validate is that the wall-wart that goes with the drive is 12V and center-positive polarity. Then you can use whatever splitters and adapters you need to get the power from your brick to the drive.

Here's what I personally used:

12V5A PSU: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073QTNF9F/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

1-to-4 barrel jack splitter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KWWLEBK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Size converters: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079KTR49T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (Out of stock but you can probably use the title as a search term and get something useful)

Thanks for the advice! So if I grabbed this three pack, could I power the board and MOSFETs with this power supply? I plan to use these LEDs, which say to use a 10A dimmer, but since I'm planning to cut the strip in at least 3 pieces, I don't think I need that much.

Another poster mentioned that I'd need something to keep the time, they mentioned an esp8266 to connect to my wifi, do you think that's necessary, or is there some way I could set the time without one?

How can I control a 330mAp, 12VDC LED strip from running off a 12V DC5A power supply from a pi model 3?

I am able to power the LEDs connected to the power source via a bread board, however I have not yet figured out gpio pin control. I have considered a physical relay (too loud) and a tip120 transistor (potentially gets too hot).

Thanks!

Was the Original Power Supply suppose to be AC or DC, and what is the power supply you bought?

And what is the voltage suppose to be? 12v, 24v, 5v, other?
