WLED isnt stable to me anymore. not sure what happened. these r the connection statuses of my 5 WLED strips.
on this graph, black line means disconnected from wifi. u can see how many times each LED strip has disconnected in just last 24 hours.
even though they dont blink or turn off when they disconnect, its still very annoying, is it stable for u?
Looking for advice on a good reliable LED panel supplier for a DIY project that has quality LEDs that are to advertised specs, wont fail within a year and are high output light wise.
Looked around Ali/Aba and all kinda looked the same meh ali quality and the Sort by price seems to only work to that page / if at all.
Any advice on where to get good quality led panels/strips would be highly appreciated.
Didn’t expect this setup to become my favorite thing in the room.
Syncs music with WLED and displays album art + playback info directly on the TV in real time.
Looks insanely good at night.

Quickly put together this stadium mod for upcoming mini tournament with friends.
What do you think?
Used ws2812b and hyperion and a total of 670+1020 leds
-is still a work in progress have to add bed side lamps and under computer table lights and an led bar to fill the left side of the tv panel
Need suggestions as to what else can be done to improve it more thanks again😁😁
Calling all Moanas 🤣
Guys, think of a complicated project... lol
It's not the first time I've made this paddle, but the difficulty is the same: many cutouts, many internal and external parts, lots of wires, LEDs, etc., but the result is there.
Body in characteristic textured ABS wood, internals in PETG, approximately 460 pixels divided into 4 addressable segments, D1 mini for control, and the magic of cinema is done.
Chamando todas as moanas 🤣
Caras, pensa em um projeto complicado.. kkk
Não é a primeira vez que faço esse remo, mas. A dificuldade é a mesma, muitos recortes, muitas peças Internas e externas, muito fio, led, enfim.. mas o resultado tá aí.

I've recently added this SK6812 RGBWW strip behind some drawers under my TV and I'd like to try and make it look like a fireplace. None of the effects I've tried are really doing it for me, either not looking enough like fire or just being one solid color. The problem is a lot of them just apply a gradient over the effect whereas I want something where the colors are scattered throughout to look more like flames. Does anybody have any good suggestions?
Hello,
im getting kind of frustrated with my current project. The project demands around 240 LEDs. I have literally no experience when it comes to electronical work but using AI to guide me through it has been incredibly frustrating.
I have two questions:
Is there a simple all in one box/solution that I can use to address these 240 leds? Most ive seen where not strong enough to power all those leds.
Second one: I have a small esp 32 mini board, and a breakout connector for my usb c power supply. I dont understand how to wire it all up though. are there any tutorials out there for this? I dont want an industrial grade open power supply or something alike. I need something fairly compact. Current power supply is 27 W 5V 5A. Does that work?
Im really at my wits end and honestly just want the easiest way to address these 240 leds (using custom code as well. I need to run custom code to the ESP 32 board).
My dream setup would be consumer grade power supply -> Some box -> 240led long led strip (~1.5 meters long). Is there anything for the amount of LEDS I have out there that could do the trick? Stuff like the Dig2Go is not strong enough from my research to power all the leds at reasonable brightness. Is that right?
Hope to get some help here! Thank you all!
I used ws2812b (60leds per meter)
3 x esp32 (one for tv panel, one for monitor and one for cove)
Its still i work in progress. I will be i stalling led strips under my desk as well and cable management will be done later.
All of this will later be synced to hyperHDR and this whole room will be one big ambilight setup. (Already done with tv panel has 5 independent strips on 5 different gpio pins on the esp and took me 4 full days to make them work properly 🙇🏻 yes i am a newbie)
Also have ideas for wled wall lamp (but leds will be visible from below and would look bad - any ideas on this would be appreciated 🙇🏻)
Will also make a diy lamp as a night light for my desk.
Also what else can be done suggestions are really appreciated 🙏🏻♥️
Thanks guys really i mean it this sub has been sooooo helpful.. real grateful to everyone.

Hello, I just found out about this community and im very interested. I just bought a set of BTF-LIGHTING WS2815 from amazon thats being controlled by a esp-32 but im currently only getting 1 led to turn on. Im not sure why but I would love some help if others have done this combo before.
thanks
How do I even debug this? Happens once every 5 minutes or so. Current effect is Aurora. Happened on v14, 15 and now 16. ESP32, WS2812b, 5V power injection on both sides
Been trying to come up with some seasonal effects. I've used Gemini to help me try out different effects based on descriptions I feed it. But it doesn't "know" WLED very well. It suggests effects and pallettes that don't exist sometimes. And ones it chooses based on my description can be wildly off. Wondering if others know of a good AI that knows WLED better? Particularly the latest versions (15.4 or 16.0)? Gemini is better than me just guessing, but still a long way from very helpful.
Hey everyone, I’m a total beginner working on my first project and need some broad advice on my power setup.
What I have:
My constraints & questions:
My first WLED project: putting LED strips between acoustic panels. Super simple, but came with a lot of problems (skill issue, I know)! I have an RGBCCT LED Strip from BTF-Lighting, see specs. I control the strips with a Gledopto ESP32 controller.
I'd like to use the built-in relay feature that completely turns off the LED strips when not in use, however when I do, the LEDs give a flash of white when turned on (see GIF, it's only ~3 frames but it's visible).
Setting these up in WLED has also been a bit of a pain, since it's an RGBCCT strip. If I understand it correctly, it uses two WS2811 chips per segment, one for CCT, and the other for RGB. In WLED's settings, the best way to control these is by setting the chip to FW1906 GRBCW because it allows me to control the white channel separately... Either way the flash of white appears when turning on the LEDs, and it doesn't happen when I turn off the relay.
Does anybody know the best way to resolve this? Or did I just make a mistake buying this combo? I wouldn't have asked this but I have way more of the Gledopto controllers and LED strips. Could it maybe be a power supply thing? Happy to get some feedback! 😄
I'm looking to install some 24V white FCOB under a cabinet. It says they're dimmable, but are these something where you just use a PWM controller like an ESP32 or GLEDOPTO controller?

I want to remotely control them from Home Assistant, so WLED would work, but in this application I wouldn't mind a more traditional in-wall dimmer but haven't seen one that is both remote controllable and 24V.

Literally bled for this project, and I'm super happy with the results!
I’m using a BanlanX SP548E controller with COB RGB lighting strips. I successfully connected it to Wi-Fi/cloud and Alexa can now:
However, I cannot find ANY way to save custom static colors/scenes inside the BanlanX app.
A lot of posts/videos say:
…but in my version of the app there is literally nowhere to save anything. The DIY section appears empty/non-interactive. Long-pressing does nothing. There are no “+” buttons, save icons, naming dialogs, etc.
