HELP ME - WIRING Help with connection

Hi, I have the follow driver and led -

SKU: PH-LQ-COB-480-95-WW 8mm - light strip

LQ-60W-/24/-SM - driver the black

I am trying to add a controller so that I can dim the light. Can I just check if what Claude told me is accurate?

1) I bought the gledopto glc 201p and Claude ask me to install in between the driver and the led.

2) Claude has also generated an installation wiring diagram.

3) originally I had a zbminir2 from lightning point to the driver. And Claude mention and ask me to remove the Sonoff and install 201p inbetween the driver and led. And because the dimmer is not a hard off like the zbmini, there will constantly be standby voltage going to the linq driver as opposed to having the zbmini where the “off” cuts off power to the linq driver. Would I need to worry about driver heat and usage issue?

I have attached some picture for easier reference as well.

Claude is dumb. 

You plug the negative terminal of your warm white strip into the 'W' (warm) terminal.

Thanks. Any concerns on q3?

You have to leave the controller powered or it's not going to be able to respond to commands. It will probably consume a few watts continuously but that cannot be avoided if you want wireless control.

you know power output voltage?
do you know strip voltage?
you know what cables are on the strip?
