is there anyway to simply have white lights and change the color temperature?
3 weeks ago, I wanted to build a decent PC. Suddenly I stumbled across one of your videos. Suddenly plans has changed and decided to make my room smart insted. And today I just made my first WLED LED Strips. Thanks Chris!
As always Chris a fantastic tutorial, and the fact WLED is always updating and getting better and better to me makes it the number one app,
And don't forget anyone reading this the guy who makes the WLED software does it freely but you can donate to him.
Thanks again Chris.
I hope you are all well 👍🏻 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks as always buddy and couldn't have said it better myself! So true about the software being free! I should have put something about that in this video but I will for sure do it in my next one! Thanks again!
@@ChrisMaherDIY
Anytime Chris, learnt more from your channel in a couple years than the previous 10 years before I came accross you.
Keep up the great work.
I hope you and yours are all well 👍🏻
I made my own strips from watching your tutorials and used them on a dj livestream I produced in a castle. Worked out really great. Also you've given me some new ideas so thanks Chris.
Sounds super cool, do you have video of this?
@@TurtleTimeTraveller I do look for Second Saturdays Presents Midweek
That so cool! I just watched some of your video and It really did turn out good! Thanks for letting me know!
@@ChrisMaherDIY All thanks to you my friend.

I made a video about the Govee M1 and I said in it I might dive into WLED in the future.. after watching this video, I can’t see how I can leave it any longer to try. Love the set up and look of the lights
Very nice ! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I appreciate the support!
Your awesome bro thank you sooo
Great tutorials. Long live WLED and open source projects.
Hey Chris! Thank you for this tut! Im wondering now what should i set up as my maximum current for my 961 leds with 12V 12.5A PSU
Hey man, I'm glad I found your channel! I've been fascinated with LED lights for a long time now and even want to incorporate it into my business ventures. I'm extremely creative all around and I know talent when I see it, YOU are a God bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I mean it!!!! An absolute machine of creativity 👏🏻 definitely inspiring bro. I just found your channel a few hrs ago and have been up watching your videos ever since 😂😂 thank you for the A1 content dude and never stop. Thank you so much🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 - Ed
Thanks so much for watching and glad you are liking the videos! its for sure a fun hobby to get into! Appreciate the kind words my friend and as long as I'm still having fun, I'll keep making them! May the good Lord bless you!
@Chris Maher likewise sir 🙏🏻 keep crushing it, there's some people out here who look up to people like you!! 🫡
Great video, what effect would you recommend if we want to cycle through all solid colors in a seamless manner (ie fade from color to color)
Tha k you. !
You are very welcome! Thanks so much for watching!
Hi thanks for the great videos I’ve learnt so much I’m ready to start my own project using your guides.. I only have one question, for my project I need the LEDs to turn on to a preset colour and animation as soon as they receive 12/5v. It will be in a vehicle so as soon as I start the car I’d like the lights to turn on without any additional input, is this possible?
Thanks
What’s up Chris, love the channel. I was wondering how you decide what type/brand of strip lights your going to use for a project? I’ve noticed you use Govee along with WLED. So when do you personally use govee plug n play strips vs Wled?
Right now I have a lot of govee lights but feel like I can’t achieve what I want anymore. My issue is i love the T2 and I know if I don’t use Govee I won’t be able to use the dreamview with those strips. Would you recommend I just use govee for things I know I want to integrate with the t2 like the Lyras and use WLED for the rest of my projects?
PERFECT! Ok, so I’m only 1:28 in and you may answer this later but, I gotta get it down. So, when you fire up, the separate modules, add them to your wifi network, and then pull up WLED on one of them…. Do all the modules show up like yours shows bottom, top, lamps, console? Or do you have to add them? This is beyond cool and exactly what I want. I thought I was going to have to code a solution…
Thanks so much for watching and great question! You have to manually put in the names. Once your in, go to configure, click on user interface and then right at the top you can give it a custom name! yeah, WLED is awesome and no coding required to get some pretty customizable effects!
Hello! Thank you for sharing your video! I'm curious, is it feasible to adjust WLED without having to connect to its dedicated Wi-Fi network? I have ambitious plans to incorporate all these fantastic features into the lamp I'm designing, and your video has been truly inspiring! Personally, I find it a bit inconvenient to connect to the lamp's Wi-Fi every time, so I'm currently exploring alternative methods to simplify the process. Once again, thank you for the wonderful video and for sparking my creativity!
@Chris Maher The Setup looks awesome. But for each channel with led you need a seperate power source and controler right?
very nice! thanks for making a detailed video. Is there any chance to implement midi and create a custom light show with wled or any other software that you know?
I would recommend you to use hyperion to sync your tv screen to your esps (compatible with wled) so you dont have to change the presets manually
Hi, I built my first 2 WLED projects thanks to your videos and I thank you for it. However, I have a really annoying problem, when my leds are turned off, it very often happens that some leds light up by themselves without any action on my part. Do you have an idea of the problem and how to solve it?
Philips Hue who?.. this is crazy good as welL.. I wanted to ask if you can get it to synch with what is on display on your screen or pc? And can you also control this with a midi instrument?
Why would I make my own Led-Stuff, when I could easily buy it? Because you not only showed me how easy it is to diy, you also inspired my to do so. I make custom lamps and lighting solutions for friends and family now.
Thank you very much for your Tutorials, keep em coming!
Thanks so much buddy! Glad you are enjoying the videos and as long as people keep watching I'll keep making them!
WLED is one of the best open source, and arguably the best out of all, Addressable LED controller firmware. It runs on a wide range of devices, the maintainer is very responsive and it just seems to work so well. It's fast, can run standalone or integrated to your wifi, can easily just have a physical button if you want. Overall just a great way to control LED's. You should try the Sound Reactive version if you want to use effects with your background music.
Thanks so much for watching and I couldn't agree more! I will for sure be trying things out using the sound react version! I'll make a video on it when I test things out. I also have to try out the new 2d matrix support on the latest .14 update!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos, I have learned so much and love WLED. I noticed you appear to have your cubbies behaving as "groups" of leds and thus, they fade in big blocks. I have been trying to figure out how to do this as I made a large 3d Printed text marquee and would like to get the letters to behave like your cubbies where the effect is across the letters, not the individual LED's ... hope this makes sense. Thank you for any help
Thanks so much for watching and glad you are enjoying the videos! That sounds like an awesome project! So I actually do no have them in groups. The fading effect I believe your seeing is the Android effect and the lights are not turning off/fading per box but rather they lights are just turning off in relationship to the chasing effect which does give have the same effect as if the box is slowly turning off completely when the lights turning off passes through each box. I'm reading this back to myself and i'm not sure if im explaining that well but its kindof hard to put into words what is happening lol.
Question. Is there a way to get actual hardware buttons of some type to control WLED? I have a future project in mind when I build out my recording studio room, but rather than having to go into an app and set everything, I'd like to have ways to control it via physical buttons. The simplest method would be to just switch presets, but I'm wondering if there's more advanced ways such as being able to select controllers and then scroll through the different animations / color palettes? Great videos!! :)
i know about all these led projects but havent looked at the stuff for a few years.. wled is awesome i wish this was availible back then...
im wondering how wled works with hue and apple home integration? can i create zones with it?
good day chriss... I can connect 10 LED strips in parallel on the data pin of the esp 32 to make a single sequence of lights ??
Can it be used with iphone shortcut or google automation? Thank you
You are the authority on all things LED
Lol as always you are too kind! Thanks for watching buddy! Happy New Year!
Your videos inspired me alot and I've done my first WLED project. But I have a question too, can I desaturate the built in preset colors?
Thanks so much for watching and for the support! That is a good question! I dont think you can but maybe someone who knows WLED a little better than I do can chime in if they know the answer!
@@ChrisMaherDIY I tried every option of WLED and I found out that we can create the same color scheme by dialing the segments using our preferred saturation levels and use with a inbuilt effect.
Hey dude.. I was wanting to run these leds down both sides of the deck of my boat can I section them off and turn one each section or LF RF LR FR individually and name them? Thanks in advance
Hey so- what about power on effects? Have you figured out to make something animate to an on state?
how big power supply you use on this build? planning to build a emergency lightning with esp32 trough a hole house in 3 different floors
What are the specs for your UST setup? I need to do something similar in my basement. Curious how far away it is from your screen and what size screen you're able to get. Been looking at an XGIMI or Optoma P2.
Do you have 1 strip running right through the bottom boxes? great setup, love the video
Thanks for watching buddy! So the boxes I have 2 strips. one is more towards the front of the box and one is towards the back. They are running in parallel and are the exact same length.
Keep doing your thing duder....
Thanks so much for watching buddy! Appreciate it!
Hey do you Think you Can use chain lights in a defunded tube as stair lights?
I’m thinking of trying it with the twinkly light chain 😊
Thanks so much for watching and that's a great Idea! I don't see why it wouldn't work! Thanks for the great suggestion!
OH MAN THEY HAVE 2D MATRIX SUPPORT NOW!!!!!!
Yes sir!! its been fun playing around with it! There is a lot of potential there for sure! Hope all is well buddy!
Chris love your videos. You have introduced me to whole world I did not know existed outside of the usual suspects such as Phillips hue and the like. Thank you! One question, is it possible to sync multiple controllers so that it will behave like one controller? For a basic example, let’s say I have two controllers each with one led strip and I have an animation where a colour moves along the strip. Could it move from one end of the first led strip to the other end of the second led strip in one seamless animation. Instead the animation mirroring on both strips they work together to run one seamless animation. Does that make sense. Thanks again! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@ChrisMaherDIY The Amazon and AliExpress links are different products. Which one are you using in the demo here? SK2816 or the Cob ?
Fantastic tutorial Chris! Do you have a WLED preset file you could share. My effects just don't seem to look good unless it's pink+blue
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! So I really dont use pre sets at all. I made a few for this video but I just live in the color pallet section. If I every do come up with some cool unique pre sets, i'll make sure to share!
Question. Does this allow to like follow a music or something. Ive had this idea of like a mini show based on a song by Navinsky....would love to be able to do something based on that
Great video. Since the new Govee M1 was release. Do you have any idea how to control it using WLED or is it only possible to use the Govee app?
Thanks
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. I tried a while back and could not figure out how to get it to work with WLED. I'll let you know if I ever do figure things out!
Hey Chris, another great video coming from you. Please go ahead and do Hyperion. Also, FYI. There is another. Chris, who did a great Hyperion DIY video?. I like to see your take on it. Thank you.
Thanks so much buddy and I for sure want to do it! I think it would look great on the projector I have! I'll have to check out his video! Thanks as always!
@@ChrisMaherDIY You're welcome, by the way, the other Chris name is Chris Majestic in TH-cam. He did DIY Hyperion around 2021 March. So definitely it needs an update, it's almost 2 years. If you can find a way doing it using less steps as he did in his video.That would be helpful and less intimidating compared to his setup. Thanks.
@@ChrisMaherDIY Here is his link on Hyperion ambient light DIY. th-cam.com/video/dbf3Fx9gKqU/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video! Question for you… I want to light the inside of a cabinet that has 4 doors using reed switches to automatically power the LEDs when individual doors are opened. I’d like for it to work so that if the right door is opened, only the right door LEDs come on, if a middle cabinet is opened, only its LEDs turn on and so on. Is there any way around needing 4 separate outlets to achieve this? If using the esp32 would I need 4 units to control each section of LEDs independently with the reed switch? Thanks! And again amazing videos!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Sounds like an awesome project and idea! So you could for sure create segments in WLED to control each section of lights that you want. You could do that all of one power supply and controller. Now as far as getting things to automatically turn on when the doors are opened, thats something that is above my paygrade lol. If you can get that to work, you should make a video as I'm sure a lot of other people would love to see how you did it!
Do i need different controllers for each group of stripes?
is there an effect that will turn on each LED separately one at a time which will then stay lit till all are lit and then all stay lit until the power is disconnected?
@Chris Maher corner lamps are connected to one ESP controler? thanks great job
Thanks so much for watching and great question! Yup the lamps are connected to one esp device. I have them connected in parallel so I just split the data signal coming off the esp device if that makes sense!
@@ChrisMaherDIY thank you so much!
Hi Chris. Do you have any video how to sync WLED with Google Home or Alexa. If not can you please do a quick tutorial video. Much appreciated. I really enjoyed all your videos. Thanks
Thanks so much for watching and great question! I know there is support for Alexa. I'm not sure on google home. I have still yet to really dig into this but its on my list of to do projects. I have watched this video thought and I would recommend checking it out! th-cam.com/video/30yO1zTDAk0/w-d-xo.html
Ae these all running off the same power unit? If so what are the Amps and watts for it? Thanks, love the videos
Thanks so much for watching buddy! The media console is hooked up to a 5v 30amp unit. The floor lamps are powered by 1 5v 10am unit and the top and bottom diffuser are also powered from 1 5v 10a unit. I cant remember the watts off the top of my head but since I never run the leds super bright (max brightness is very unnecessary for what I use them for. way too bright) they dont take up much power. Thanks again!
How many data pins can you activate on the ESP-32? Could you have run all the strips on one ESP-32?
Do you have to use the app Toto control these lights? Can you just connect them to a motion sensor plug? Meaning once the controller sees power it will just turn on? Looking to do motion controle baseboard. I like your mdf 1X3 then Channel then 1x2 on top
I know you can for sure use motion sensors with this lights but its still something i'm not very familiar with. I would check out this video as he does an awesome job using motion sensors: th-cam.com/video/Y29Y0iTLggg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Chris,
Just wondering if it's ok to just snip off the barrel plug from an AC to DC power supply rather than using an adapter. I'm then planning to just solder the red and black to the two corresponding red and black wires coming from the esp module and the light strip. Thanks.
Thanks for watching and great question! I've done that many times. Cut off the barrel plug, I usually just use a wago connector to split things and then do exactly as you say. I do this right around the 3:50 mark of this video: th-cam.com/video/O4qNlGxeZeM/w-d-xo.html
Hi
I made a few of the projects you made on videos and I've always used ws2812b
But I'm looking for an rgbw equivalent
What would you recommend ?
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment buddy! I pretty much for a while only used ws2812b strips and loved them and they were the least expensive option for the addressable strips. But lately i've pretty much now switched over to the sk6812 due to having the separate led for white. Here are the ones that I use:
Favorite 5v LED Lights Amazon: amzn.to/3Zguu3y
Favorite 5v LED Lights AliExpress: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dm2FaeJ
And then still the best diffuser channel on amazon for lights that have at least 60 leds per meter in case you want to diffuse them:
Best Diffuser Channel 1m Lengths: amzn.to/3E1xSXc
Best Diffuser Channel 2m Lengths: amzn.to/3jO3wAu
@ChrisMaherDIY is there anyway to simply have white lights and change the color temperature?
I like this guy Chris Maher because he does not use foul lenguaje.
Did you get the warm light variant of the LED strips? I've been looking into doing this but cant decide which version I should get, was thinking about the Natural White
Thanks so much for watching! I got the Neutral white! They look great and cant go wrong with them!
I have 3 esp32 with wled installed, could you tell me how do you connect them to the app without them being reset in color or changing ip each time you turn on?
I just started following. Question, I bought a govee m1 strip and was wondering if you think I can solder wires from the stock controller to the beginning of the strip? I’m starting the strip on the ceiling and want to locate my controller on the floor. I have moulding to hide my wires.
Thanks so much for watching and that's a great question! I think in theory you should be able to! I know in some of my setups using the diy type led strips, when the controller is somewhat far away from the first led strip the data has a hard time traveling the distance so in some cases I have had to use a simple resistor on the data line right after the controller which boosted the data signal and then it worked perfectly. Not sure if it would be similar on the Govee setup or if there would be any other issues but for sure something that would be fun to try and find out! Let me know if you do and what happens!
What’s the name of the controller you use?
Is it possible to only sync certain controllers and not all of them?
can i use wled and an esp8266 on 5v argb computer fans?
Hi, can we plug multiple ESP and led strip on the same power supply ?
Thanks so much for watching and great question! Yeah you can!
Rockin'!!!!
Thanks as always buddy!
can you sync with icue?
Is there any way to use more than 16 segments in wled?? 25-30 is what I need to accomplish my goal
Hi, added a second strip and increase the led count from 50 to100. Only 10 more leds at lighted. What am I missing ?
Hey Chris , i followed your previous tutorial and it really worked but I have an issue, whenever i powerup my esp32 and strip using an external power supply using Vin pin it requires additional power supply for esp32 which i feed it through micro USB port
Hmm that is interesting and should be the case. When using the external power supply, is the gnd from the module and gnd from the led strip connected together with the gnd from the power supply? Its gotta be something easy but that would be my first guess. Let me know if you figured things out!
...that song though... mesmerized. Do you have the name of it by any chance?
Lol glad you liked it because its playing the entire time! I don't know what it is about the song but it just seems like the perfect background music for videos like this. Not too annoying and just a subtle sound in the back so there is not pure silence during parts. Here is the link! th-cam.com/video/IMfcW5W4sEc/w-d-xo.html Thanks buddy!
Chris, how did you connect the two floor lamps ? They are so far away from each other
Thanks so much for watching and great question! I just split the data line coming off the controller and ran it to both lamps. I was expecting to need to use a resistor to boost the signal but they worked just fine even though the data line for the one opposite of the controller is about 8 feet long. Also just split the voltage and gnd wire from my power to feed into both.
So I have 4 segments in boxes. Though when I click on an effect, the box’s all share the same colors of the effects unlike yours where each box has its one color why playing the effect. How did you do that?
What is the meaning....
42 and Chris :) well done mate, thx
Thanks so much buddy and glad you liked the video! I'm not sure! What do you mean by 42 and Chis?!
Forgive the newb question but is there any chance that this is able to be added to HomeKit?
Thanks for these vids. They make all of this very approachable for those of us that are new to all of this.
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad you are enjoying the videos! So I am not very familiar with HomeKit but my understanding is there is some compatibility if you use something Homebridge plugin. But someone did let me know that if you need to use Homebridge, that means its not compatible so I'm not sure lol. Maybe that makes more sense to you than it does to me!
Thanks Chris. Great video. it. I'm going to 🔗 to it on my website. 🥂
Thanks again! Appreciate the support!
What is your website? I'd love to check it out!
The strip you have is that the NW or CW? Thanks in advance :3
Thanks so much for watching! Great question and I am using the NW strips. Love them!
