Here’e the product URL. [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LHJ5MC/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071LHJ5MC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I have had this for quite some time but it’s motion sensor and IR sensors are acting up. I am thinking about adding wled capabilities to this strip. But it seems to have 3 data+power+ground, total 5 wires going in unlike WS2812 where we have 3 wires. Apprecite your response. TIA

Looks like a non addressable RGB strip.  
You should be able to setup WLED with a strip of type “PWM RGB” which will take 3 output pins.  
Use those pins to drive a MOSFET for each channel and you can get WLED to run the strip as a single LED with colour and brightness control.
