If I was to run a key fob style 12v remote between the battery and step down... When enabling power, would the BlueGhozt go back to how it was before power was turned off. Or would I need to enter the app again and turn everything back on?
I got a question so when I turn my car on the color is on already and I don’t have anything set how do I turn the color off I just want my regular white?
So basically the four power switches are Bluetooth activated toggle switches, but are limited to 2A at 12V. I thought about getting the Plus version to toggle on/off fans I have in my vehicle, but really it's not very practical to do it through an app versus just flipping a switch on the dash/center console. It could be useful in the right situation.
Yeah it's more for someone in the market for a wireless remote already, as some people go that route for simplified wiring and no need for going through the firewall. In some cases you are right, dash switches are a better and more convenient option!
Will this work like a power on/off per say on a Underglow system ?, instead of trying to go thru the firewall and add a kill switch so battery won’t drain and die would like to know if I can use the Plus version. 🤔
Daniel Evans it is able to work like that but I was told need to have a relay in between as this only sends signal I was told it doesn’t carry power thru to send to another light kit controller box. I haven’t tried it yet to see.
Better use a relay! They make 4/8 channel remote relays that work off of an RF remote, you can buy them for $15-30. Essentially it works just like this Blueghozt toggle switch system, except instead of triggering the device with your phone through Bluetooth, they are triggered by pressing a button on an RF remote. Except unlike the Blueghozt, the RF toggle switches actually come with relays pre-installed. However even the RF remote relay devices don't recommend going over 10a (or 120 watts), but if you use the Blueghozt without any relays then you're limited to only 2a (or 20 watts). 20 watts is nothing, that tells me these Blueghozt toggle switches were intended to be run through relays.
Well now can I hook up the 2815s and use showmode on them. The way I'm in the process of wiring as I'm watching this video is using one of the two main plugs with some female connectors from my raspberry pi and only inserting the green and black ones in one of the two main outputs on the other side of the module and the red one in the back on the 12v output 1. Will that work or will I fry the module or my led. I tried it for a second half an hour ago and the whole strip worked minus about 4 led but jn random places. Chalked it up to just a bad connection.
You can run it off of the same controller, so long as you're under the 700 total LEDs threshold. Multiple Blueghozt controllers can also be synced together. Through the app you can determine what lights do what, and what lights are triggered by turn signals etc.
@@imdbtruth damn i was told by LIGHTING TRENDS that i would need 2 different controllers one for 5v(halos drl's) and a separate one for 12v(underglow wheel rings)
@@oil3rgangcustoms81 Using 5v and 12v on the same controller can be trickier, but it can be done... The number one thing that you have to make sure of is that all of the LEDs (both 12v and 5v) have the same color order... Some LED strips are programmed in the order of RGB, but others are programmed to operate in the order of BGR, or GRB, etc, etc... So long as the color order matches, then you can use both 12v and 5v from the same controller... However you'll have to feed the controller 12v, and then use a 12v to 5v step down converter placed just before the 5v LED strands, just run the +/- wires through there to convert it from 12v to 5v... It's a cheaper solution than buying another Blueghozt controller, but if your LEDs aren't of the same color order, then getting another controller is the only option if you want all the LED colors to be able to match.

at this time it does not, but we have a big update for the app coming soon so hang tight!
@@ghoztlighting That sounds promising! First or second half of the year?
I got a question so when I turn my car on the color is on already and I don’t have anything set how do I turn the color off I just want my regular white?
So do they work with all the rgb profile prism products
unfortunately not
@@danielevans5431 have u try it?
@@NinjaAless10 won't work unfortunately.

I'd just get it for the "just in case"

Yup, things like that, are exactly what it was intended for!

@@triple_threat_lightz if its a decent amount of amps yea I'd use a relay

What is the difference between this blueghozt device and blueghozt pluss

good night a question the set of components of what quantity comes thanks
Is there a way to run both underglow and headlights from the same controller or are multiple controllers needed? Can separate controllers be linked?

@@imdbtruth oh ok thx bro
how can I program the led strip to do turning signal when I hit the switch in the car
you have to splice into the car's turn signal, check out our other tutorial videos we have one covering that!
I wanna learn master
