(Firstly, why are light emitting DIODE strips referred to as the 1950's word "bulb"...)
Anyway....
I just bought some CCT LED strips (ones with both a WW and a CW LED side by side) that allow me to adjust brightness and temp, connected via 3 wires to a WL5 controller.

But it doesn't appear that the WL5/YL5 is controllable with homebridge-milight nor anything else I can find apart from their apps and remote controls.
I don't want/need physical remote controls, but I do need a dimmable controller (3 of them actually that can be logically connected into the same zone) that can handle CW/WW strips. By "handle", I mean to do what the miboxer app does - lets me change the brightness and, independently, change the temp from between 2700 and 6000K (in 300K increments).
I know that the homekit widget is a bit kludgy in this regard, but I can live with it.
I just need to know what controllers I can buy (NOT build) that work with homebridge-milight and can handle my type of LED strips.
Thanks!

As I said in the other thread you posted in, get the Open Source MiLight Hub: https://github.com/sidoh/esp8266_milight_hub It works MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the crappy MiLight boxes. And "building" is not the right word there, you just plug a bunch of wires - no soldering, no complicated setup. I bet you already spent more time on this than you will putting that together.
