- Control an LED light strip via a web browser
- Allow configuration of device wifi settings via AP
- Serves a light browser-based controller with simple CSS for functionality
- Supports Homekit via Homebridge
- WS2812FX Library for led animations & control
Status | Hardware | Software Setup | HomeKit | Examples | License
- Uses websockets
- Minimized SPIFF use, embeds minified CSS/JS
- New web interface, uses Google fonts and jQuery
- Exposes all WS2812FX library modes and stores via localStorage
- Backwards compatible with previous homebridge support
- 1.0x related random crashes and reboots should no longer happen, see: https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/commit/3267443348a3b8f783dc2dd77f9db3a9a4aacc58
- No longer supported, 2.0 is backwards compatible just make sure to update the configuration.
- 1x ESP8266 *
- 1x WS2812b/SK6812 LED Strip or "Neopixel" LED Strip
- NodeMCU 1.0
- Wemos D1 R2
Adafruit has written a detailed guide on NeoPixels along with best practices and code examples: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/overview
- Download and install Arduino 1.8.5 IDE and the libraries listed below using the library manager (Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries)
- Perform 'ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload' to upload minified jscolor js library
- Edit config.h
- Compile and upload sketch (80/160MHz, LwIP Variant v1.4 Prebuilt)
- Hit the reset button twice to enable wifi manager, connect to the new access point (default: ledstrip) and setup wifi for the device.
- Open browser to http://ledstrip.local , the page will reload once the first time you visit it on any device. Modes buttons should appear on refresh.
- Eat cake.

This project is a light weight LED Strip controller. Want multi-client, MQTT & OTA support? Check out/support this excellent project:
Install https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge on a Raspberry Pi or similar and install this accessory https://github.com/metbosch/homebridge-http-rgb-bulb
The address for the LED strip is ledstrip.local, you should probably change this in config.h to something else if you are planning to have more than one installation.
