Addressable LED with Loxone & ESP32?(£42.77)

[@DaniOptiX]

Congrats! Very good explanation! You tried with addresable rgbw led strip too?

[@theautomationgym]

Thank you 🙏🏼 The RGBW or RGBCCT is pretty much the same process, just a different LED strip. Have a look here: kno.wled.ge/basics/compatible-led-strips/

[@tibbar2205]

Ive tried using a rgbcct led strip however loxone doesnt seem to be using the warm white or cool white led is there a way to get this to work?​@theautomationgym

[@theautomationgym]

@@tibbar2205 Hmm, I've not tried it,but I assume it can be done as 2 separate actuators - 1 for RGB and another for CCT. That would then be separate control in the app. Alternatively an RGBW + Colour temp?

[@tibbar2205]

@@theautomationgym I thought that however using the loxone commands I couldn't get it to send a temperture value my only guess could be that I had the type of light wrong

[@theautomationgym]

@@tibbar2205 maybe, looking at the api it looks like the &LX= function is for RGBW - compiling the colour temp with the white + blue or red hue. Where cct is RGBW + W + WW

Thanks for showing this! Great idea to showcase with the WLED Web UI

Great video. Can you also make a tutorial on how to integrate Phillips hue lights?

[@theautomationgym]

Thanks, I'm making a similar one in the next couple of days - Wiz lights *owned by philips hue*

Really useful content 👍🏼

[@careskris2830]

wich resistor did you use? Thanks for this Tutorial

[@theautomationgym]

Thank you 🙏🏼 for the small run I've not used a resistor or a capacitor but you can find it here with the diagrams: kno.wled.ge/basics/getting-started/

[@MrStonest]

Thank you so much. But I still have a problem. I've tried the interate a preset. I tried many things, but I couldn't create it. Can you add a short video, or explain how I can do that? Thanks

[@theautomationgym]

Hi thanks, I'm not sure I get it. Does it work with the WLED app? If so what is the current Virtual Output set to?

[@MrStonest]

@@theautomationgym Yes, its works with the LED App. I have created a own preset. I don't understand the composition of the command. For Example: The effect "firework" is in the virtual output: R=255&G=0&B=55&FX=90&SX=100%IX=150 I can find the command: &PS= for preset. I've tried with it. But it doesn't work. Maybe its not usable with loxone? I hope you understand what I mean.

[@theautomationgym]

@@MrStonest I've just uploaded my template here: github.com/the-automation-gym/Loxone-Templates/blob/main/VO_ESP32%20WLED%20Loxone%20HTTP%20Output.xml In my case I'm using the Effect Selection and it's connected to a virtual input that is linked inside the Lighting Controller. That way I can go and select any effect between 0(solid colour) - 180ish. You just need to find the value/int for firework.

[@TaliOn_777]

Very helpful thanks 💪 but how can I set presets in Loxone ? I try with the commands from wled site but it don’t work

[@theautomationgym]

Thank you :) I've done it with the following command win&FX= Where V is the effect number - for example chasing lights may be 3, so if I want to create a chasing lights Virtual Output it's win&FX=3 Then make as many as you want and add them to a Radio Button function block for easy selection

[@TaliOn_777]

@@theautomationgym nice thank you so much it works 👌💪💪

[@woddymusic]

Great, I was able to program some functions with your help. But I can't control presets via Loxone. Which command should I use to call up an ID number?

[@theautomationgym]

Thank you :) I'm using the following: win&FX= Where I give it a value on a slider from 0-255, each selection being a preset. You can also make presents with win&FX=4 For example

[@dltcat]

Thank you for this tutorial! i have been wondering if this could be done with Loxone. Now to try and figure out how to integrate this with the motion sensors so that each tread of stairs will turn on and off in sequence. Would it require multiple ESP32 or could it be done with a single board?

[@theautomationgym]

Glad you liked it! You can do it with just white channels on RGBW Dimmers or use 1 ESP32 and create a custom mode with segments - every step being a section of lets say 30 LEDs. Then use 2 pinhole 12/24v motion sensors 1 on each end of the steps. The rest is the config - sequence controller.

[@Keep.Control]

In my opinion, it's better to use the WT32 module and connect it via Ethernet. I'm currently in the process of creating a PCB for a TH35 rail enclosure. If the tests are successful, I will gladly share the project. It's also worth adding a logic level converter because the GPIO provides 3.3V, so there might be issues with properly driving the LEDs over longer distances. It's also important to remember that digital LEDs consume a relatively large amount of power in standby mode, so it's worth cutting off the power via a relay, which is an option in WLED.

[@theautomationgym]

It definitely makes sense to use the WT32 if you can get a cable there. It'll be interesting to see the project when it's finished 💪🏼 thanks for sharing

[@dltcat]

I hope your tests go well and looking forward to seeing the outcome.

[@JimmyBaeyens]

thanks for your video, what power would you recommend for a 3m strip?

[@JimmyBaeyens]

3 meter led strip I mean...

[@theautomationgym]

​@@JimmyBaeyens thank you, if it's the same strip 60leds or 18W per meter x 3 = 54W / 5V = 10.8A at maximum brightness? If it's longer than that maybe the 12V or 24V options would be better like SK6812 or WS2814

[@wolframborchers65]

which was the microphone? Do you have a aaz link?

[@theautomationgym]

I have a few of these: amzn.eu/d/bextM9C
