The majority of people that watch my channel are from the US and we have been spoiled with free 1 or 2 day shipping to the point that when I do leave links to the same products on Amazon and AliExpress hardly anyone ever buys from AliExpress even though often times it's cheaper there. I'm not sure what shipping times are in outer countries but in the US most things take about 2 or 3 weeks to ship when ordering from AliExpress.

I also hated my old “dumb” rgb strips that were around 10 bucks on Amazon and wanted a better solution. I have already spent Sever hours watching videos on your channel with everything I could possibly need to know to get started with WLED and making my own projects, but I will definitely be copying your amazing table when I saw the end result I gasped. Well done your videos have been amazing giving me confidence to actually start this and not use a cheep option that looks way less good.

  • @theelmagoo

    Very cool. Love these videos as I'm about to start a room make-over myself and lighting is going to be a key piece of it. I do have some questions that might be worth making a video on as I'm sure it's a topic others would be interested in?
    I'm finishing up designing a new desk I'm going to build that'll handle all of my requirements for my office / recording studio. The desk is going to have multiple zones worth of lighting in that there will be ambient sections, work lighting sections, and tron style rail sections that I would optionally want to activate music syncing on. Plus there will be several other objects with lighting around the room as well (a ceiling mounted acoustic treatment with back lighting, accent lighting around the room, and a few more ambient zones). I really want to have a hardware controller for the whole room, not just to change scenes for the whole room, but also to be able to adjust individual zones on the desk or elsewhere in the room. The only way I can see to really do this easily with WLED is through Home Assistant.
    Hence my questions mainly revolve around how to take something like a stream deck (or other equivalent hardware with buttons and knobs) and set it up so the buttons can change scenes, can turn on and off the music syncing, and have some of the knobs directly adjust the brightness of certain zones as well as cycle through colors on those zones? Basically a master control panel for the room that will sit on the desk so when I sit down I can control all of the lighting in the room as I desire without needing to open an app or webpage.
    Cheers again for the great info on this topic!!

    Great videos. One thing I'm not sure of is the benefit of running 24 vs 12 volt. I understand that with greater voltage you can run smaller gauge wire. Why would I want to purchase the 24 volt instead of the 12-volt? I'm going to put LEDs around the perimeter of my game room. 88 feet. Would I be better off with the 24-volt? Will I be able to run all 88 ft off of one power supply? I'm assuming I could run 2 44ft strips off of one controller. Any help would be appreciated

    I ordered 20 meters of the BTF FCOB WS2814 DC24V 784LED/m 70IC 10mm width version.
    My question is will this controller be able to run 15,680 leds? Led strips calls for 24V 3A power per 5m, hence my total load would be 12A but the Ericsity controller rated for 10A max. Your thoughts?

If I play music will the MIC on the ESP32 allow the light strip to match the beat of the music? Also, can I connect this Controller with the Alexa App?

I thought 24v would be better, as it would provide a good amount of light. I was going to split the power load by running two 10m light strips (2 x 32ft) lengths off the one transformer (650w). Will one of these WLED controllers suffice, or will I need to use two controllers? If I need to use two, how do I sync the two controllers? How many of these controllers can be synced, as I would like to do other projects in the backyard. Any chance you could do a tutorial to show a step by step process of syncing? Thanks. Craig

I've only found plastic matchbox-sized cases small enough to fit the 2"x1" ESP32 board on Amazon you recommended. Thank you! WLED is so much fun!

    Hey chris, I'm looking at your comments in the description about how if using a 24v cob strip to use GRB and to swap W & G, what W and G would I be swapping? I've got a 4m strip hooked up to a 24v power supply and one of these controllers, I can't get the strip to set to a solid color. Each controllable zone is a different color and when I choose a solid color nothing happens. When I click "peak" it shows the solid color. So I'm assuming I either have something in the settings put in incorrectly or something with my hardware isn't working...

    @ChrisMaherDIY, thanks for finding new things to simplify LED installs.. Quick question, the controller with mic, can you disable the mic, or is it all dependent on what is selected in WLED as to whether the chosen settings use the mic or not?

    • @ChrisMaherDIY
      @ChrisMaherDIY  4 місяці тому +1

      Thanks for watching and great question! It depends on the effect you choose. The mic will only engage if you select an animation/effect that is a sound react one. You still have all the non sound react animations and effects available that you can choose where the mic will do nothing on those. Hope that helps!

  • @Relentless0neFPS
    @Relentless0neFPS 3 місяці тому

    Can this controller effectively operate two distinct LED strips simultaneously? I'm contemplating installing two strips within a corner diffuser. The intention is to designate one strip for color illumination and the other for pure white light. However, I am uncertain if this approach is advisable. Approximately a year ago, I corresponded with @chrisMaherDIY, who indicated that color strips might not offer optimal performance for dedicated white lighting. I am curious if technological advancements have since addressed this limitation, enabling LED strips to provide both superior color rendition and white illumination. If so, could you please recommend the most suitable LED strips and controller for this purpose?

    The maximum number of LEDs on this controller is 800, but you put 1200 LEDs ws2815 or are there 800 LEDs on each GPIO? Do all 1200 LEDs work with only 12 v and 10 A?

    Chris and all the Chris community. Here is an open question: I purchased all the items on this video and followed all the instrucions up to minute 5:42. However the intensity of the led lights is not bright enough. I think I have three options.... 1) use a 24 volt power supply; 2) Do power 12 V power inyection for each led strip... or 3) Raise the automatic brightness limiter to XXX mA. Anyone knows the solution? Alberto. Houston TX

    Hi, it's possibile to drive a single color (warm white COB) led strip AND an RGB 2814 60LED/m with a single controller? I read that it's 2 channel but the power option is only one, if i split the power (also i have to do this to connect 4 x 2.44m stripes FCOB WW) and give power to the RGB also and then put the RGB cable in the controller I'll see just like a single strip to control and when moving RGB in the app does not affect my white output (powered just on 24v) right? PS: the controller is the SP630E

    hey great vids , i have a question you may be able to help. i want to run some led profile strips vertically down my hallway and have them come on using one of the programs that the WLED controller offers , my question would be could i simply put a pir sensor up to detect when someone enters the hallway then then pir sensor would feed the 12 v 10a transformer which would then feed power to the led strip, hence as someone enters my hallway the lights come on , or would there be a huge delay that it would be pointless or would this be a bad idea from the start or is there an easier way of doing this . Any advice would be appreciated.
    thanks

So it would be light switch to transformer, transformer to controller and controller to light strip? I'd like to have the ability to at least turn on/off lights with a switch but then be able to utilize effects and colors with my phone. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

      They both have their advantages I would say. The domestic automation controllers have a built in relay and fuse plus have simple attachments made to connect different switches, sensors, and more. I also like that their controllers come with a jst connector already attached and I prefer their lever system for connecting wires since I can clearly see what's going on. I would say the advantage of this controller by ericsity is that it supports 5, 12, and 24 volt strips. But overall they both are great products!
