Hello AngloCanadian,
Judging by the YouTube videos this seems to suit fish tanks very well. The spec says a maximum of 48 watts per channel and that doesn't sound like enough to generate "daylight" in a room. Seems like you need to have three or four different colour strips to to get through day, sunset, night and sunrise phases so having more than 48 watts of daytime light will probably need at least two controllers running the same schedule.
Do you have any experience of using LED strips? The spread of light is quite limited.
What sort of timeline are you thinking of? An hour race would mean a fairly quick transition cycle.

Edit: - Just noticed that the TC421 version seems to have a limitation on the time steps, at least that is how I interpret the comment:
For TC421
the setting time can be every half clock in one day.
like: you can set 6:00 brightness-0%
6:30brightness-50%
7:00brightness-100%
