Thank you again for this video which is perfect... had to setup another set of lights and the check was not checked in the sync.. now it works perfect... thanks to your video.. SALUTE!!

exactly what i was looking for thank you

This is great. I just cant wait until Valentines day when I can ask Alexa to turn on the matrix and it will start displaying the valentines day preset. So many brownie points. What I would really like to be able to do is have it switch on automatically at a given time and date, surely it must be possible. Do i just ask Alexa to do something in the future, like a reminder?

Thanks for the tips

[@KingALLO69]

Thanks! Great Video really helped me out. Sometimes it is very buggy for me but it works most of the time :P Also this is a WLED problem not your mistake!!

[@showhomelighting5840]

Yes it's far from perfect that's for sure

[@kwakuasiedu4935]

What if I am using esp32?

[@showhomelighting5840]

That's fine that's what I used in this video

In my case, it did not work. Alexa app is asking me for a Hue hub to connect.

[@abhinavgupta1099]

same here.

[@showhomelighting5840]

Does it work if you just tell the Alexa app to discover new devices without selecting the Hue Hub?

[@maxwamsley]

Mine couldn't find the device when I clicked discover new devices@@showhomelighting5840

[@diverses2988]

doesn't work for me either. (ESP32). Searching for new devices doesn't work either.
