Whenever I start watching your videos, I feel like you are going over my head. However, by the end of your videos....I can understand just about everything (a sign of a great teacher) thank you. i appreciate all your videos, I learn something new everytime
So beautiful. Great work buddy! 👍
And I'm subbed! Just picked up my first ESP32 for a christmas light set up and your videos are leggggit
This video answered a bunch of questions of mine. Thank you. Only problem with that board is that it can only support up to 2 LED strips. Not sure why they limited themselves to just that. I also don't see any others on the market?
Thanks Chris. Because of you I seem to be ordering ESP32's and strips of LEDs weekly......
Lol I know the feeling. I think I now have around 10 esp devices laying around. Its a fun hobby to get into as it sounds like you know first hand!
Hey Chris. I've travelled down many a rabbit hole and your vids are deffs the most concise and informative. I think I was reading that you can only have two data chains on the board. I’m setting up 8x quasar lights using RGBW SK6812 60pm Addressable LEDs at 1200mm lengths with say 4-5m tails so I can move and position them around the room.
I have a ESP32 and I'm getting an INMP441 Microphone so I can use these lights with my band and not have to control them while playing as per your video on this channel.
I am powering everything with a 5v 60a 300w power supply. Hopefully I did my sums correctly. So what I am doing is powering the LEDs using wago clips on the negatives and positives and then using another set of Wago clips for joining the data cables. Is that the correct way to do it with the data? I do have a sp901e Signal Amplifier/Controller and an SP107E Bluetooth music controller coming as I found the ESP32 afterwards. Can I use the SP901E and use the ESP32 as the controller so that I can seperate each of the 8 light strips?
Man, I've been binging your videos all day (I'm sick with the VID..), anywho.. I finally pulled the trigger on a bunch of power supplies, various high density strips, connectors, I mean if you linked it.. and I needed it... I used your link, hahaha.. I'm so excited for all of it to come in, and rip out all of this garbage that I have currently hooked up. I even treated myself and got some new home audio too... You got me in a mood. I fuckin LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. Quality, clean, edits.. concise, and not dragged out, but also speaking slowly enough in case I was looking at my phone and wasn't paying attention..I've learned so much in the past 24 hours. Thank you !!
Thanks so much buddy! Appreciate the kind words and support! It's a fun hobby for sure and there are definitely worse things you could spend your money on! What kind of speakers did you get? I need to get some myself!
@@ChrisMaherDIY Trust me, I know.
But bro... I spent too much... I really shouldn't have bought em, but I haven't bought myself something in some (liar), and I wanted to treat myself.... Anyways .... Delaying

That, and ALLLLLLL of the little parts and pieces for how I'm going to throw together myNEWspace V1 come in Thursday!
I may or may not be way too excited
Yeeesss,this is the video i needed 😅, i was like man how can i have two strips go opposite ways..but now that i learn more.i have more questions. I will have to come to this ,now i go watch more videos
Would you worry about having a high current and overheating from connecting many strips to a single 5V supply? I am looking at setting up a lot of LEDs and it seems like it would be a good idea to have distributed buck converters with a high voltage supply
another great video! That controller gives me so many ideas for future projects !
Thanks as always buddy!
Thank you for sharing
Nicely explained
Very nice and well explained guide, thank you. Do you have another link for WLED boards because I can't find it on Amazon or anywhere else.
Have you ever connected LED strips to a solar system?
I would like add some waterproof LED strips to the bottoms of our outdoor furniture to get a glow from below, like people do to their beds. I can put the chips in a water proof box to protect it under the furniture. However, I have no clue how to convert a 16.4’ of LED strips to a small solar panel so it can run for 8-10 hours a night. It would be a bonus if I could control it with my phone when it’s powered on at night.
You do some pretty creative things and was hoping maybe I over looked a video that you’ve done or maybe even give you an idea for something new. Looked all over TH-cam and haven’t had any luck.
Keep up the videos!
Great video very informative and detailed for beginners in using WLED. Have you tried the ESP32 boards with the USB-C connection instead of the Micro-USB? If so do you recommend using those boards instead of the Micro-USB boards on any of your previous WLED projects. Thank you from a new subscriber.
A "little" 5V power supply 😅
Lol I should have clarified. Little compared to their 5v 60 amp power supply.
@@ChrisMaherDIY But seriously now, why do we need these big ass power supplies? How many amps do lightstrips need? Never done a DIY project like this, but if I look at govee or hue, they have tiny power supplies 🤔 Maybe do a video on that?
@@kraddoomstersgovee and hue are using 24V, this means you don’t get individual addressable leds, even though they advertise for it, often times they can only be set in blocks of 6 or more leds
Edit: often they are also way less bright :)
My WLEDs are drawing around 10A. My power supply is not this big but it’s not tiny either.
@@kraddoomsters it's my understanding that if this was a 12 or 24 volt strip, you wouldn't require a huge power supply. Using 5 volts, it's going to require more amperage or am I misunderstanding it?
Another great walkthrough. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!! Appreciate it!
Thank you! this was the answer for my question. WLED - awersome.
What's the name of this PCB board?
It's a good explanation 👍.
Would mind pls tell which led strip model is suitable for good animation
As usual.....GNARLY! TOTALLY GNARLY!!!!!
Excellent, thanks for the videos.
Can you please provide updated links on Amazon of all your products for this project of yours, including the plug and play board? I'm from Portugal
Thank you
Great Video Chris. !
How would we connect a mic to the plug n play board setup to make the LEDs sound reactive?
Thanks Chris! Love your videos
Thanks buddy! Appreciate the support!
Thank you Chris for another terrific video. Is there a chance you will do a floating shelf with LED in the near future? Multiple shelves would be even better 😊
Did you see the most recent video? I dont think thats what you mean, but he did do it🙃 but yeaa it looks good, and havent seen it done like that
Great Video thanks. Does WLED handle strips that have White LEDs in them?
How many led strips can this esp 32 handel, or actual pixels? Is two the most and if so how many leds per strip?
Awesome video, I’m wondering if this plug and play controller will work with the Govee permanent lights, the older version no the Pro, please let me know thanks.
Great stuff. Long time watcher, first time commenter. I do have to ask, do you speed up your voice over, or do you naturally talk at that rate? I have to rewind sometime to process everything you squeeze in! Which is a lot of stuff, and that’s wonderful! Keep them coming!
HI
Interesting video...
I'm planning to make my house's lamps using LED strip so I wonder how many strip can the ESP32 board controll... do they have to be equal???
Thank you Chris.
Your welcome!! Thanks for watching. Always appreciate the comments :)
thanks for video, how to run 50 strips in parallel with only one data pin output?
so i’m with you on setup. now, how can I take it one step farther? can I send a dmx signal via wii fii , from Emu, my dmx software to control the LEDs.? do you have any videos on this?
@chris this is a cool power supply but the fan makes lot of noise. Any alternatives for quiet transformers?
Nice content!
Looking to do a 4 strip set up in my bathroom, can I wire all four led strips to one central “hub” or esp32 device? Or do I need to use two? Really can use some guidance! Thanks in advance
Can you control those two strips in WLED individually?
Do you have any plans on working with BTF lightings IC RGB Cob strips? I saw them recently and it seem to eliminate the need for such deep channel for a spotless effect.
It was genuinely exciting to witness data seamlessly flowing from one IO port to another! This sparks my curiosity: could this impressive flow extend from one ESP32 to another? I'm envisioning a setup with 4 LED strips connected to each ESP32, amounting to a total of 16 LED strips across 4 ESP32s. Is there a method to establish communication among the ESP32s so that after the first unit completes its task, it passes the baton to the next, ensuring a domino effect until all 16 LED strips have displayed their animations and are ready to loop back to the beginning?
I am overwhelmed but you make things easier. I am looking for a device with a pre-recorded message via an SD card to plug and play. Could I connect this device to a stereo amplifier and then to speakers? I am thinking of getting a Sparkfun Trigger and a stereo amp. Ideally I would like the sound to activate automatically when the power is turned on without the use of any other controllers such as an Arduino. Does something like this even exist? Please let me know, thank you.
Looking to get into DIY and I saw you keep using 18awg wires and 20 awg breadboard wires. Do you use solid or stranded, or which ones do you prefer?
You can just connect the esp32 to a 20 amp power supply as long as it"s 5 volts?
hey thanks for sharing all this info it's helped me tremendously on some of my projects !! question can you hookup a microphone to the plug and play wled board ?
Hi Bryan, not currently supported but we are developing a solution.
Amazing video! Could you explain a little bit more about the “sacrificial pixel”? How does it work to boost the strip? Thanks
Thanks so much for watching! So the way it was explained to me is that the data signal coming off the esp device is not super strong. its strong enough to get to led strips as long as they are somewhat close to the controller. However once the data gets to an led, the led is able to boost the signal therefore allowing it to travel further distances to an led strip and still have things work. For example, if you had the controller and then ran 15 feet of wire to your first led strip, the data would probably not make it that far and the led strip would be doing all sorts of crazy things. But if you put one led close to the controller then run your 15 feet or wires, the data should be able to make it to the strip and work perfect. Hope that makes a little sense!
@@ChrisMaherDIY thank you so much for taking the time to write a detailed answer! It does help. Best of luck 😃
I've seen someone else use cat 5 for long runs. Wnde rif twisted strands keep the signal integrity tighter over distance
If you can just set up groups, does it really make sense to do this or is it also possible to connect the second strip directly to the end of the first one?
If you plug like 3 Led strips in one connector (assuming they are equal lenght and current is ok) will it work?
Or 1gpio pin 1led strip?
I'm going to try the ESP board in the link. I have tried a couple others and all seem to have wifi problems. the first set worked for a while, then eventually cannot connect to WLED and now can't even connect through a PC/phone through wifi. second set won't even power lights. hopefully these work...i'm about sick of constantly having to replace and re-setup boards
I'm looking to add some LED strips for some under cabinet kitchen lighting, however, there are 3 gaps between all of the cabinets(that I can't run wires between) and I have power to each of them. So I'd need to be running multiple ESP32 boards (1 for each section). Is there a way to control multiple WLED ESP32 boards as if they are one, like to group them, or something else?
So long as you have power near each section, what I have done is use a separate controller for each section and sync them together. Also the optional motion sensor is a great addition for under cabinet use!.
love all thw videos from Philippines
Thanks buddy!! Glad you enjoy the videos! Appreciate the support!
@@ChrisMaherDIY is it possible to use a PC power supply to power up multiple led strip? thank you for your response
@@rhyzaorlanda6538th-cam.com/video/i9NGLiipIS8/w-d-xo.html
You CAN but it's not recommended nor is it built for that. PC power supplies would prefer putting out much higher voltage, like 12V
Will we still get the function of putting a sacrificial pixel even we skip it in wled?
hey great video, question what if my RGB LED has 4pin? i havent been able to find any videos for a 4 pin RGB LED Lights (Red-Gren-Blue-Black)... THANKS
Hi Chris, I picked up the DomAuto plug-and-play board with WLED pre-Installed. Q1, since this board is providing all the power there is any need to use the extra "red" and "white" power wires on the LED strip?
Q2 will I be able to run two 300ct strips using just one of these boards? For this use case I have a "BTF-LIGHTING AC100-240V to DC5V40A Max200W".
HELP SECTION: My dilemma. My setup I am using a 5v 6A PSU with BTF WS2812B LED light strip w/ 300 pixels. I have the I have LEDs connected to the Domestic Auto board via the clip, I open WiFi on my iPhone, find the WLED-AP, and connect. I do the WiFi and LED setup as you have directed, Save...but when I open the WLED App on my phone NO lights are detected, so I'm unable to connect to the board. I am lost. Now the WLED-AP isn't showing as a WiFi option. Is there a way to do factory reset>?
I don't have a laptop, so I only use my phone, but if I DO try to connect using what I named it .local, I get nothing. This is at my church and I have a total of 4 strips, and I haven't had any luck with so far getting them hooked to the WifI. I have also attempted and failed to use an ESP board with jumper wires. Eric, a frustrated LED fan.
🎉🎉🎉Perfect...U make my project so easier ...Thanks for support us the kind man.❤ Plz do video on: How to connect 4 or more WS2812B led strips with power supply and T8000AC Led pixel controller or T300k Led pixel controller. If u do that I will very much greatful to u. ♥ Love you and always with u.❤
another great and informative video, thanks. i have just looked online to purchase one of these domestic automation llc boards but they are all out of stock.
where are you buying from (what country) USA or overseas. ?
Awesome video, just what i was looking for! One question though, would it also be possible to connect more than two LEDs to the same controller, or is two the maximum?
Hi Brosion! Great question. you can connect several strings in series off of 1 channel.
@@domesticautomationllc hey domesticautomationllc, thanks so much for the reply, thats great news! I reccon they wont be powered synchronised anymore though when in series, or will i be able to still turn on lets say the first LED on each strip thats wired in series?
where can i buy this product? Domestic Automation LLC Wireless Smart LED Controller
can we control if the particular segment is turned on based on sensor input ????
With the Domestic Automation set up, if I need to wire 4 different strips of led, do I need 2 Domestic Automation?
How do you pack the power supply and ESP to hide them, but avoid shorts?
Great video. The only thing I would say is to mention to "Set the voltage to what is in your region" because a lot of people outside of the US do watch you, so better to cover everyone instead of just US people :).
WLED has so much flexibility. You really don't need anything else these days
What would it be for the uk then
can dumb lights or floods be controlled via wled?
will this work with rgbic outdoor lights with 4 wires? And how?
Can the Domestic Automation board run a RGBW strip? The strip I bought was the BTF 5050 and it comes with 5 wires. The DA board only has a 3 wire output so I’m stumped.
Great video
Thanks as always buddy!!
why do we need 5v 20amp supply if we are gonna use it on 3amp? so isn’t it basically using just 15watts max? if so then can i use those normal small plug adapter which are 5v 3amp? (for a 5m strip) what will be the difference?
I loved your tutorial on ledfx .. I made something out of it and I gotta say I'm blown away.have you worked with xlights?Big fan from kenya.
Thanks so much and glad it worked good for you! I have not but i've heard of them! I do want to look into xlights at some point! Thanks!
Hi there, how can I connect 3.5mm audio jack as audio input and make music reactive WLED??
Please give answer..
😢😢
great video, congratulations.
I have a problem with the esp32 with LED. The tape flashes and if I put it in pink, for example, it flashes different colors.
The tape is approximately 1 meter away from the microcontroller. Will I have to make the connection using a shielded cable? I already connected another time, at a distance of 3 meters from the esp 32. What would the connection be like for such long distances between the beginning of the tape and the esp32?
Did you ever get this figured out? I am having the same issue and I have tried it multiple times. I am using a little different board but it’s still a ESP32 which I have working with a half dozen different projects. This is the only one using two pins with one controller. For my board it is GPO 16 & 17. The lights on GPO 16 are only a couple inches away while the one on 17 is about 6’ away. The ones on 16 work perfectly but the ones on 17 are all erratic like you describe. The effects are not the same and it just flashes erratically. This is the second time I’ve tried to set it up like this. Seems pretty simple and I’m not missing anything but this is puzzling.
Awesome! How many strips can you controll from 1 esp32 unit?
Based on the info on the "Multi-Strip Support" page on the WLED website, it depends on the model of esp32, but they can handle 2-10 LED strips. Limit on esp8266 is 3.
can i do this with an esp8266? My D4 is my Pin 2 on Wled. Which Pin and D can i use for the second Led stripe? Please help. :-)
the amazon link to the purple board you used doesnt lead directly to that board.
I’m in Australia and I have to ask I have followed your instructions to the dot however I can’t seem to get wled to connect or work and I have tried this on 4 different esp32 boards also the board I have don’t have A vin pin the markings are sometimes the same other times they look different like I have a V5 pin and trx -Rex ect please help!!!

Anybody know if there is a way to get a DIY project like this to pair with Apple HomeKit? My lighting setup is growing more and more and being able to control everything from 1 app rather than 2... or 3... or 4... is ideal. All of my current light have been paired with HomeKit but I'm starting to venture into more complicated DIY territory and really don't want to go back to using a million different apps if I don't have to. Thanks!
@ChrisMaherDIY can I do the same with WS2815 ?
It's Looks nice!. So the limit for the second method is only two strip lights can be connected?. But the first method can be connected to many different strip lights as long as you have a power supply connection point for each strip light.
The second method is 2. Its running an esp8266 which I believe has a max of 3 pins you can use but with the setup and relays on the board, two is the max. Now you can split the data to go to more strips but thats a little different! The first method i'm using an esp32 which has more pins you can use. Here is a great resource that goes a little more into what WLED recommends: kno.wled.ge/features/multi-strip/#:~:text=There%20is%20a%20maximum%20of,a%20total%20of%201024%20LEDs.

I have done this will a bunch LEDS. I used the power injection terminal on our board to inject power at the end of the strip. Works great!. I would recommend a 15amp power supply. a 10 amp should work but they tend to get warm when run to their limit.

Hello Chris,
I'm planning on installing a LED strip to my basement staircase with couple of motion sensors. Can you please help me how to integrate that with ESP?
We have a motion sensor solution that plugs right in!
When using multiple data pins on an ESP32 with WLED, can you mix different types of LED strips (e.g., WS2812 and SK6812)? I tried doing that I was getting strange behaviors on the SK6812 LED strip connected to the D4 pin on ESP32. The LEDs on the SK6812 kept blinking/flickering and changing colors randomly even though I had set the color to solid white for that strip.
I think you should be able to! Under led preferences where you tell what data pin you are using make sure to change the one to sk6812 and the other one to ws281x
@@ChrisMaherDIY Is there a limitation on the length of the wires between the ESP32 and the LED strip? My ESP32 is about 80” away from the LED strip. I used 80” of 18 gaugr wires to connect the two but some of the LEDs on the strip cannot maintain the solid color I specify; they are blinking randomly.
Thanks for the video. what if the esp32 controller is 4 meters away from where the LED will start? how can i extend the dataline?
Connect the LED to the ESP32 controller via 18awg silicon shielded copper wire. You can solder the connection and heat shrink it (cleanest) or purchase connectors that can connect to the LED strip.
@@QactisX my concern was more regarding the data signal so the LEDs dont start flickering
For which data pin i want to connect 2nd strip in esp8266
Great tutorial, but I'm trying to do three sets/strips on 3 pins and nothing I'm trying seems to work. Is it even possible?
Ok say I want to make turn signals for my bike with a sequential pattern. Is it possible to use one strip on the back of the bike that is split in half to make 2 segments, one for left turn, one for right turn. Could I then set a “Chase” pattern for each segment and control each segment independently with a button switch on the handlebars?
It’s looking like it’s possible to build my signal lights like this with a single ESP32, which would be pretty cool. Still need to make sure there won’t be any lag and that it will be responsive and reliable enough before I set it up for road use on my bike though
Do you have any videos of how to hard wire wleds? I would like to use them in my bathroom and control it with the light switch.

good day Sir
I'm going to power up and control 1,250 leds.
but there's flickering. I only use d2 pin for my 1,250 leds
there's no problem with the power because I put 4 5volts 10amperes in every 312 leds.
I tried to use d2 and d4 to divide into two the 1,250 leds 625leds from center to left ⬅️ and 625leds from center to right ▶️ per data GPIO pin.
but sadly there's still flickering.
I set my maximum limit of 2000mA per power supply.
this is a single straight line.
is it posible to have 1 controller for 2 led strip? im trying to make drl that could also switch to turn signal, one strip for left and one for right side
yes, up to 2 outputs.
Sacrificial Pixels: While an interesting technique, you are going to have problems using strips of the alternative LED types as the protocols are not the same. RGBW vs RGB is also problematic. Is there a way to remove them from the communications path?
Thanks so much for watching! For sure! The plug and play board is specifically made for the ws2812b or WS2811 strips because of this. I did see in a comment that they are currently working on a board that will support the sk6812 variant so that will be awesome since I love using those as well!
I can’t get the link for the controller to work? The plug n play unit.
I really like your videos though.
Thanks so much for watching! It must just be available in the US since the link still works for me. Its always tough being in the US and never really knowing what all is available in different countries. Hopefully someday they will expand!
I've tried WLED multiple outputs and it turns out that there are only 3 outputs that can be controlled, can you set more than 3? 😢
