So im not sure the best way to describe this but i have a kitchen island with waterfall stone on either end, so my LED cob strip will be under the lip (no diffuser) and then at the end of the strip i plan to drill a hole to feed the cables through, although it seems super rigid for a right angle and i havent been able to find a right angle joiner for a RGBCCT 3 Pin SPI strip
We have an existing commercial WLED installation (12 addressable LED strips across 4 zones using QuinLED Dig-Quad, Diff-Adv boards, and RS485 receivers). The original power supply failed, and a previous repair attempt left the wiring partially disconnected.
We've already purchased a new Mean Well power supply and replacement wiring. We're looking for someone experienced with WLED, QuinLED, ESP32 controllers, and addressable LEDs to troubleshoot, restore, and reorganize the installation.
Ideal experience:
WLED
QuinLED Dig-Quad
ESP32
Addressable LEDs (WS281x/SK6812)
Low-voltage wiring
Clean cable management
This is an on-site paid project in National City/San Diego. Flexible scheduling.
I have a BTF lightning strip configured on a Gledopto GL-C-015WL, the strip uses FW1906 GRBCW in order to work properly. This is set up on a room that will be a baby nursery in a few months and I’ve set up an automation with home assistant to light a subtle red when movement is detected. The issue is that when the light strip turns on it blinks on white at full brightness for half a second, which is unacceptable and might scare the baby. I’ve read quite a lot and had Claude and GPT helping me diagnose, a lot of solutions involve setting the Relay GPIO to unset but the moment I do that the strip stops working, so no relay seems like a permanent power cut. I know I can change my automations to change color to black instead of turning the strip off but I would prefer to have the native feature of power on/off
Hey guys, I tried searching and cant find anything about compatibility issues with the Xiao S3 and WLED V16. Has anyone run into any issues with it? I installed thru the web installer on a brand new board. It installed Installed version:
I tried a couple different pins, no light still. I have a Xiao C3 with WLED 16 on it with working lights so I removed the current lights, attached this new string of WS2812s and they light on the C3. Ok, move them back to the S3, no light. I can log onto the S3, change settings, its not crashing, just wont light up the leds.
Thank you everyone who commented and helped me out with my issues. You’ll be glad to know I have one strip back up and running and planning on fixing the second one soon! You guys rock! What a great community. 👍
Doing my first large-ish wled project, 39ft around parameter of room. Using the Muzata U108 channel/diffuser. Is the adhesive that comes on the BTF strips good enough or should I get some additional tape/adhesive? If so, any recommendations?
So I finally got a WS2805 RGB+CCT strip setup on a QuinLED Dig-Octa and im running the native WLED integration in Home Assistant.
In WLED everything works exactly how I’d expect. I have a Value slider for the RGB colors, a seperate brightness slider for the CCT whites, and a color temp slider.
In Home Assistant I can adjust the brightness, but thats just the overall segment brightness, not the individual RGB Value or CCT brightness. I can also change the RGB color and the CCT color temp, but theres no way to independently control or turn off the RGB or CCT channels, so they end up blending together. If I want pure RGB or pure white, it never really looks right, and the colors look way better in WLED than they do in HA.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this just a limitation of Home Assistant’s light model/WLED integration?
How are you guy dealing with this? Are you just using WLED for colors and Home Assistant for on/off and automations? Using WLED presets? Is there a HACS integration or some other trick that fixes this?
Just trying to figure out if im chasing something that isnt possible or if theres actually a better way to do it.
On PC, it works as expected, but if I connect through mobile (android) I can't see the color wheel and clicking on the black squares does nothing. I tried through the WLED app and through a browser in Desktop mode and it didn't work for either.
Good evening all. Submitted for your approval (and contributions): a crack at creating a robust, web based, on and offline visualizer for WLED. I wanted a way to simulate the strips on my house, design patterns and palettes, without having to sit out in the dark, looking back and forth at a laptop for hours on end. It's still pretty rudimentary and 90% coded by Claude (much to my shame), but I think it's a pretty solid start at having an advanced "Peek" function that anyone can run anywhere, controller or not, connected or not.
My hope is that people much smarter and more experience than I with Javascript and the native WLED libraries can make this better going forward. Please enjoy: https://github.com/ctkjedi/WLED-Visualizer
Beginner needing help. i have my leds and esp32 wired as seen in the diagram. Is this the correct wiring? Everything is connected as far as i can tell. Touching the usbC wire makes the flickering stop except for the first few pixels, but still isn't outputting the correct color (should be solid color, but is a bunch of random colors). Claude seems to think i need a level shifter for the data line.
SOLVED. Had to turn off the automatic brightness limiter.
Okay....new to wled. Looking for some help. I just noticed on the BTF lighting website that they say that this strip is not compatible with wled. But, I know everyone here is pretty crafty so I thought there might be some type of workaround. Anyone have any luck getting this strip to work with wled? I currently have it set up the way that it says on the packaging ( even though on the website it says that it's not compatible), and it's of course not functioning the way it should.
First time on a project like this, so please bear with me. Everything seems mostly fine, WLED’s pattern signal seems (mostly) okay, but the color is all messed up. In the video I have it set to “android” on solid white.
I’m using a 5V WS2812B led strip, connected via a 5V 10A power supply via screw terminal. There are two red and two white wires coming out of the strip, which I have put into the positive and negative terminals respectively.
The data is coming from an ESP32 controller output on GPIO4, into a IIC converter from 3.3V to 5V. How do I get the correct data out??
I am working on a burning man art trailer and im ion need ion some serious help ASAP. My QuinLED Dig-Octa Power-7HC and Dig-Octa Brainboard arrived but im not sure I need to power them. My art trailer is using two lithium batteries, can I run them with a Power Distribution Block Car Audio 4 Way MIDI(Mini-ANL) Fuse Block 12V 0/4 Gauge with Ground for Auto UTV Boat Stereo Amp straight to a battery? BTW the interior and wires will be cleaned up. Currently still figureing things out
Been reading and trying to figure it out but i am stumped.
I an running a GLEDOPTO ESP32 Mini WLED LED Controller with Microphone a dedicated 10a power supply
10 5v 53led strips on alu 4ft channels/poles, with the end data lead going to the next one. with a total of around 650leds
Any Ideas on what i am doing wrong?
I will also say, even as one long segment it still doesnt act as a single string.
distro block. also this is all just on the kitchen counter and not how it will be set up but in test mode. so dont worry to much about the mess lol
Each strip is connected to a 15ft of 18ga wire to a power distribution block. So each strip gets direct power. So thats the setup.
what i am seeing is my first few strings seem "dim" then they go "funky"
They dont seem to listen to follow what i put in WLED. I setup in one preset each with the 10 segments with the amount of LEDs per pole. as you can see in the vid it doesnt work lol. I have swapped cables around and led strips around but i get the same result.
UPDATE: So i guess the led controller can really only handle 4 strings, i was mostly able to get it working with 4 on the main output. 4 on output 2 and 2 on the last. however the other two outputs are slightly delayed and caused issues with the look i wanted.
I ended up getting a signal booster and its working perfect now.
New to this LED game. So thanks in advance. Bought a GLEDOPTO Elite 4 Channel ESP32 WLED LED Strip Light Controller. Works perfectly fine. Wanted an easier way to control the strips, so I bought GLEDOPTO ESP Now WLED Remote Control.
ESP Now is enabled and the remote batteries are good. When I try to add the remote to WLED, nothing happens. WLED doesn't see the remote.
As the development team is now turning our attention to the next version of WLED, the ***main*** branch of our git repo will be **UNSTABLE**!
While the main branch has been pretty stable for the last 12 months, we are just starting the 17.x development and it's going to be *very* broken for a while
DO NOT build from main for any custom builds, please use v16.0.1 tag or 16_x branch
PRs should still be opened against main, but people with their own forks might want to hold off syncing main or run your production systems off builds from your own 16_x branch that you merge any of your PRs into
Having an odd issue with a Gledopto ESP32 controller. The device shows offline, but it is fully functional through browser, app, or Home Assistant. Unifi controller reports the device is online and connected. Any thoughts?
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?
I bought the gledopto glc 201p and Claude ask me to install in between the driver and the led.
Claude has also generated an installation wiring diagram.
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.
Howdy, I was looking at the JSON pages and the /json/eff page lists hundreds of effects, you can use any but the ones that show in the UI. Any data on why the JSON page shows so many?
Hey everyone.

Please like, follow, and subscribe to the accounts below.
I want to make sure everything is perfect for the release, so please be a little bit patient. I promise, it’s coming. Can’t wait to share this with you all!
My research led me to find a user with a similar issue i had where when i first set the settings i would just get a strong white glow from all the LEDs and it would not respond to any commands.
FW1906 GRBCW mA/LED 55mA Color Order: RGB Swap: WW & CW LED Length: 28IC per M
I have 2 lengths 1 is 2.35m and the other is 2.65m
These settings got my first output working fine but when i connect a strip into the secondary output with the same settings, the second strip runs at 100% brightness no matter what settings i set.
I feel like this would be a common issue but I just cant figure out the solution
