Thanks man ... perfect timing ... I have two strings of fairy lights I just setup on an ESP32 just like you have there! I dabbled and found out I THOUGHT how to sync - but it wasn't working quite right. It was more an issue of waiting - didn't seem to kick in right away. Great video I probably will play with using the JSON calls in my home automation later. Subscribed.

Thanks for this. I just figured this out yesterday, and so it was fun to follow along and validate my thoughts on how it works. I used the HTTP API so I could create a Siri Shortcut in my HomeKit automation so I could change the presets. I'll have to play around with the JSON more.

Badass thanks! Can you run directional effects setup as a segments. Tough to wrap my mind around If they would just repeat themselves.
@handydadtv Жыл бұрын
All effects are directional, but they can be easily be reversed. And they all repeat continuously. Not sure if that answers your question.

Hello. Great video. I have been watching a lot of WLED videos and am thinking of jumping in. My reluctance is the software. It seems complicated. How difficult is learning curve? Thanks.
@handydadtv Жыл бұрын
If you buy a Dig-Uno or Athom controller that already has WLED installed, there’s no software required at all. Just power it up and connect to WiFi. Really as easy as it gets.

Nice video . I like . Can you test or do you know how to have 2 controllers and each controller to start a Effect when a pir it is connected to controller ? and somehow to cane do (do not consider the motion sensor from 22:00 to 24:00) to use a Effect starting from first controller and continue to second controller (for example to make a chasing effect from first led of first controller and end to the last led of last controller) . It is possible this ?

It’s possible with Home Assistant.

So if you press the preset on one wled screen or one controller it will do the same on the other controller? A little confusing.
@handydadtv Жыл бұрын
Yes, the receiver will mirror the colors and effect of the sender. And optionally the segments too.
@nathanunsworth5495 10 ай бұрын
I am still having issues with my lights syncing segments - the controller sending the sync signal has 3 segments set up, but the controller receiving the sync only syncs the color of the 2nd segment with the spacing of the 1st segment. No idea. I have segments and bounds checked on both controllers. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to sync them with no delay? When you want to sync a blinking effect it’s not synchronous:(
@handydadtv Жыл бұрын
When you sync effects, it should sync the speed and intensity attributes with it. So, in theory, they should be in sync initially. But I’m sure it’s possible that they might drift a bit over time. Is that what you’re seeing?

@meguinness1116 Voltage drop depends on the length and wattage of your strings. You need to do some math. Rule of thumb is to inject power every 150 pixels with 5 volts and 300 pixels with 12 volts.
