I’m a fan of these guys:

Power is passed through from either connector, so it’ll work on 5v or 12v strings. And it’s got two output channels. It’s only an ESP8266 inside, but that works fine for my needs.

For a slightly more DIY approach, try this one:

Has everything you need to give it some sort of power and get the requisite data signal out.

What Amazon says

💡Open Source Software : There are many ways to use your mobile phone to remotely control and manage ESP8622 boards. Currently the best option, hands down, is WLED. A fully Open-Source phone application, WLED can be found for free in the Google Play Store or in the IOS App Store. So no matter your Phone type you can get in on the action. With the ESP8622 board connected together, this application will allow you to control the LED lights exactly how you want.
💡Fully Addressable LED strips : Fully Addressable LED strips can produce whatever unique colour and brightness you want for each LED node. This provides an incredible amount of freedom. Creating a great Fully Addressable LED control system used to be complex, either having to start from scratch (coming up with light patterns and user interface) or taking the easier option and having to then use paid proprietary options (which have limited built-in patterns). This WLED application instead makes
💡Macros：You are able to set custom actions ("Macros") in Time & Macro settings for the following events: ⊚Specific time of day；⊚Button short/long/double press；⊚HTTP API call executing a macro with &M=；⊚Alexa On/Off；⊚Countdown over；⊚Timed light duration over；⊚Device (re)boot (up to 0.10.2, use LED settings Boot preset in 0.11)；Each macro has the format of a standard HTTP API call without the IP. Optionally, the "win&" may be omitted. For example, the macro "A=255" sets the brightness to maximum
💡Auto white handling：Besides addressable RGB and RGBW bus types, WLED 0.13.0 also supports PWM CCT (correlated color temperature) lights.Many effects and realtime sources are based on an RGB color model, which necessitates a method to calculate a white channel value from the RGB value for lights that support more than RGB.WLED offers four auto white modes, one of which can be selected in LED settings using the option Auto-calculate white channel from RGB. This option is only shown if at least
💡Freely collocatable for greater flexibility：GL-C-008WL WLED Addressable Strip Controller allows you to set different zones on the LED strip, each running a different effect or color，To illustrate this, we can create a segment with 12 LEDS (physically referred to as LED 0 to LED 11) and select an effect that repeats three colors. When Grouping is set to one we see a repeating pattern of one red LED, one blue LED, and one green LED. When Grouping is set to two the segment of 12 physical LEDs be
