Great video, I can't say enough good things about this one. Your way of explaining things is very easy to follow even for us that may not be so good at this. Thank you for the video and for the links to the products as well.

[@lendizzle77]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimbooth2010]

I can't figure out how the printer talks to the esp32? Are you networking the printer to the esp32?

[@chicagoal3731]

Can I use WS281 Addressable COB lights? Please show a wire IG diagram. Ie how to actually connect to printer? Lastly, most of us would Not rather connect to HA, just be independent. Can that be done ir through Alexa? 18:01

[@lendizzle77]

I don't see why not. As long as you can reference them in Home Assistant and WLED

[@chicagoal3731]

@@lendizzle77 how about a wiring diagram? And is there a way you can connect it WITHOUT hime assistant?

[@lendizzle77]

I have never made a wiring diagram. wouldn't even know where to begin. I think you might be able to do this other ways but this was the easiest way I could find for the things I already have. The principal of feeding the progress to the intensity would be the same. The hard part was converting a percent to a normal number that WLED expects. That took nearly a day to figure out.
