What is it?

ESP32 based Wi-Fi Pixel Controller to drive adressable LED strips like Neopixel/SK6812/WS2801/WS2815/etc using WLED for 5V, 12V and 24V installations.

We are currently not selling through Tindie because of the VAT and customs handling on the platform. Sorry for that.

If you live in Europe you can order at https://shop.codm.de/en/automation/wled/30/wled-controller-wlan/wi-fi. Otherwise please get in touch via shop@codm.de and we will fullfill your order, including correct VAT handling and customs declaration.

• Wiring Exampe WS2815 12V

The board comes preflashed with the current version of WLED, but can be used with any firmware you like, as we've added a flash and reset button for easy flashing.

It can be used with nearly every type of adressable led strips: WS2812B, WS2813, SK6812, APA102, WS2801, LPD8806, TM1814, WS2811, WS2815, GS8208.

Please read the Adafruit Neopixel Uberguide on how to work with Neopixels.

Why did you make it?

Based on the LoxPixel-idea from Dennis (www.unser-smartes-zuhause.de) we've discussed a board layout and in the beginning developed our own software based in Dennis' initial code. In the end we've settled to expand the absolutely astonishing WLED project with the needed features for Loxone. In Version 0.11 WLED can now understand Loxone values.

What makes it special?

Of course that it's usable for 5V, 12V and 24V installations without any external components or configuration. You even have a reverse polarity protection as well as a decent terminal for wiring. Also we put quite some work in the instructions on how to get up and running.
