ESP32 WLED LED Strip Controller Mic UART USB Type-C Download Music Sound Dynamic Mode DIY WiFi APP Control for WS2811 WS2812B SK6812 WS2805 IC FCOB Addressable Led Controller with 16A Fuse

Wled for the win the esp32 works hand to hand with many different devices I currently have mine sync with rgb signal so my pc effects are on my desk!! Plus super simple as well with the type c cable. Super customizable features on the app very worth it.

What a nice little package. Unlike some others here, I've only used Raspberry Pi and Arduino to control LED strips in the past. While that is a great approach, I needed something in a nice enclosure, almost commercial, mountable, and able to run 24V LED strips around a round pool. After some researching, this seemed to cheap to be a true solution. But, it seems to be just what I needed. This time around, no coding. Just this device, the WLED app, a 24V power supply, and the proper RGB LEDs. INSTALLATION: Not used to a dedicated ESP32 'appliance' for LEDs, I took a minute to get my head around how to approach this. I first needed to strip my wires back to about 1/2 inch before they would grab on the snap-down terminals. Then I downloaded the WLED app, connected my phone to the adhoc WLED wifi network, dug up the password from the instructions, and then had to tweak the app for my LED strip. In all, this was about 4x faster than homebrewing a microcontroller and the setup takes a lot (not all) of the technical work out of the job. You can then handover the controller to your home wifi network and control the output from your phone anywhere in your home with the WLED app. Nice. BOTTOM LINE: Still a little too technical for some I suppose, but this controller takes away a lot of technical work that most wouldn't want to deal with. A+ for the compact little controller in a nice enclosure. Great price!

Update: After a bunch of troubleshooting with the supplier, I was able to get the device running again. The Relay GPIO setting needs to be changed to '12' for it to work after a restart or firmware update. A little frustrating as I had since purchased another ESP32 LED controller (different brand) for troubleshooting and it didn't have this same issue. At least it works and I would have bought a second controller anyway. Not the end of the world, but not at all user friendly even for someone who is at least somewhat familiar with tech and Home Assistant devices. I can't give it 5 stars as the default setting is user hostile, but as it now works seamlessly with my Home Assistant setup. I've adjusted my review accordingly. Original review: Extremely disappointed. It took little effort to get the device connected to my wifi, afterwards it was immediately recognized by home assistant. So far so good. After getting it setup and testing that it worked properly, I unplugged the USB C power connection and moved it to its final location. It hasn't worked since. When viewing the settings online, everything looks like it's working fine, but the LEDs don't light up. I've reset the device multiple time and tried a couple different power sources, no luck. I had high hopes but this ended up being a waste of time and money.

Love this controller. It works flawlessly, the multiple power inputs and voltage range is perfect for any project.

Loved it worked great with my autodarts setup

I’ve been using this LED controller in my shop for some accent lighting, and it works really well. I like the ESP32 platform, so having everything in a tidy enclosure with easy wiring and some extra GPIO is a big plus. Setup with WLED was quick, and the app gives me plenty of control over colors and effects. The lever-style terminals make connecting strips simple, and the controller has handled different voltages without any problems. It also seems to stay stable even when I run longer lighting sequences. The microphone and extra features are nice to have, though I mostly use it for basic shop lighting. Overall, it has been reliable and fun to experiment with. I might buy more and use them for more custom lighting projects.

If your prior experience with LED strips has been with RGB or RGBW strips, you’re going to love the capabilities of these newer addressable controllers. In a traditional RGB controller you can set the color of the LEDs, but every LED on the strip has to be that color. With this addressable controller (and an appropriate addressable LED strip), you can set the color of each LED independently, so you can do some really cool animations and color transition effects. This WeGoIOT ESP32 based controller is very versatile. There are a lot of similar controllers on the market, and some have more features than others. This one is one of the more versatile ones, sporting a USB-C port and microphone. It also supports up to 800 LED chips, with a maximum output current of 16A, so it will drive a long strip. There are all kinds of things you have to take into consideration when you’re selecting an addressable LED strip, but there’s tons of information on the Internet that guides you through the process. This controller is broadly compatible with different types of addressable strips, so you’ll have a lot of choices. I’m running a 5V strip with a dense distribution of LED chips on the strip (this particular one has 68 LEDs), and that’s what you’ll see in my pictures and video. The instruction manual for this controller is accessible via a QR code printed on the side of the controller. Their instructions are clear and easy to follow, so it’s not hard to get up and running with the basics, then you can start experimenting with the software (which is the open-source WLED-Native app) to unlock the full functionality of this controller. It’s got a LOT of functionality, so you’ll be playing with the different options for a while! There are 2 common types of connectors on the various addressable controllers on the market. One uses a screw-down clamp, and the other uses a lever clamp. This controller uses the lever clamps, which I find easier to use and perfectly reliable as long as you get the wires inserted far enough for the clamp to lock onto them. I opted for a 5VDC power supply to power this controller. It can accept anything from 5VDC to 24VDC, but whatever power supply you use has to be matched to the voltage required by the LED strip you choose, because the controller always outputs the same voltage that you supply at its input. This is the way most of these addressable controllers work. One note of caution… if your power supply is going to be far away from the controller (e.g. your AC outlet isn’t close to where the LED strip will be, so you decide to run a low voltage line to the controller), you might need to use a 12V power supply and then use a buck converter at the controller to take it down to the 5VDC your strip needs (assuming you’re using a 5V strip). In one of my prior projects I found that there was too much voltage drop on the long wire I ran from the power supply to the controller. These strips can draw a fair amount of current, so even with a heavy gauge power supply wire, a long run can result in too little voltage for the controller to work. This is a great controller with all the features you’ll need to set up a really nice system. Have fun!

I didn't notice when I bought this, but theres a barrel jack plug and a usb-c plug not just the waygo style clips for power. Super easy to get going due to WLED being pre-installed. This makes setting up a custom led install not too much more difficult than using a kit like govee. Actually I bought this to control my left over govee outdoor lights and it works great. I did have some fiddling to do in the settings to get the govee LED's to register the correct colors but it wasn't too hard.

This controller was awesome to work with, WLED is pre installed and ready to configure. Just connect your lights and power supply and watch your project come alive. The controller is small and easy to hide and even comes with simple double sided tape to mount it. If you are using strips that are 12v or 24v this makes your life so much easier and even for the 5v strips it’s an easy way to setup and use WLED for your project.

Works fine now but there is a design flaw that prevents usb flashing without opening the device. To flash the device via usb you have to open it up and remove jumper 1 (J1). Make sure you return J1 after flashing it. Design flaw: GPIO 2 is used for led strip control and its voltage is being pulled up a by other parts of the circuit. Both GPIO 0 (Opt) and GPIO 2 need to be in a pulled down state (0V) for it to be able to enter uart boot mode required for firmware flashing. I haven't fully reverse engineered it yet but removing jumper 1 (J1) disables the circuit pulling up GPIO 2 and allows it to be pulled down from what I am guessing is the internal pulldown. Do not remove J2 as it disables the TX from the usb to uart chip. Ideally a different pin should be used for led strip control since there are plenty of unused pins on the ESP32.
