RGB led strip is too dim
The Wemos D1 Mini is a 3.3V device. With a 1k base resistor, the most base current you're going to get is (3.3V / 1k ohm) = 3.3mA.

Looking at the datasheet, the current gain (h_FE) for the TIP31 transistor is no more than 50. So the maximum current you will pass from collector to emitter is 50*3.3mA = 165mA.

Your base resistor is too large and is limiting the current to your LED strip to no more than 165mA per channel. Try reducing the base resistor to 150 ohm. The TIP31 can handle continuous collector current of 3A, so you ought to be safe with a 1A power supply, and 150 ohm resistor.

UPDATE:

Per @Gerben's comment, the ESP8266 can source a maximum of 12mA from a GPIO pin, so you should not use lower than a 225 ohm base resistor on the initial TIP31. A Darlington pair would look something like:
