Thanks for the tutorial. Obviously Alexa is not as tightly integrated as Home Assistant. While it can be done, as you say, it's not ideal and if I was looking for an LED solution with Alexa Im not sure Id use WLED.

But you didn't show the Sync Interfaces section where you make one controller the SENDER and the other controllers the RECEIVER. That's very important. I build my own controllers and have my own power sources, is it possible to just purchase the RGB LEDs and casings from your company and not the entire package? I need 100 feet for my home. I've got Govee currently which is using their controller but have since learned WLED and building ESP32 controllers so would like to flip over to your lights which seem to be more powerful than the Govee. (Nevermind, I see on your website if I go to All Products I can buy pieces individually. Thanks) Update #2, wow it's actually cheaper to purchase your 100' set than to just buy the lights and the tracks separately. I'll have to think this over. Great videos by the way!

Can you select which controllers you want to sync? What if we didn’t want to sync ALL of them to the one master? I’m looking to add a Wiz remote to handle the kitchen (for those in my house that insist on needing switches for everything), but don’t want the master to synchronize with every controller within its reach. Is this possible?

Question regarding start led. In this video for your output 1 you have 60 LEDs. And it shows start LED 0 and end 60. That makes sense. Then in the 2nd output you have 80 LEDs, but it shows a start led of 60. Why is that. My setup is similar and that confuses me, as it looks like there are only 20 LEDs logically on that 2nd controller. I would think the start LEF should be 0 for the 2nd controller as well. And then at the top, it would show the total Leads in your setup.

Actually you can use them both at the same time. I'm still running wled on the controller, the cloud app just sends the controller commands via the cloud server. Wled native will still detect the controller on the network as a wled device and you can control it from there on your LAN if you want.

@showhomelighting58402 ай бұрын
Nothing really, I guess a few perks like really user friendly scheduling, access to a huge preset database that's constantly growing, improved preset management, still has the segments and all the wled effects, you can sync and controller multiple controllers in multiple locations. It was built to be more user friendly for people who don't require the vast customization that WLED offers.

how do I have smoother transitions with my presets? I'm trying to create a stairs animation, wherein it would light up the steps one by one, from the first step, to the last step. I did this by using a playlist with presets: 1st preset - 60 leds lit up 2nd preset - 120 leds lit up 3rd preset - 180 leds lit up so on... the playlist works as expected, but the transition value is not being applied, and the transition from one preset to another preseit is instant. EXPACTATIONS: since i set the transition state to 2, the transition of the leds from one preset to another preset will take 2 seconds. It will have the same transition behaviour when the led's effect is solid, and the color is changed. GOT: the preset transition is instant, i.e. the leds turn on instantly. my hardware: i am using a WLED flashed controller with esp8266 led strip is a WS2811 power supply provides 12V 5a any help, info, suggestions regarding this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
