WLED House Lights
I’ve been playing a lot with WLED and addressable LEDs recently and I decided to do one of
the ulimate LED projects - permanent house lights for holidays and the like. It’s hard to
take a good picture of them but you can see some animation at least.
The box isn’t super well locked down right now but I’ll strap everything down at some point.
The brains of the operation is a QuinLED-Digi-Quad, an awesome esp32-based board that uses WLED.
I’ve got a 12v 300W power supply for the lights and a 5v supply for the esp32. This is so I can
turn off the big power supply (using the smart plug in there) and keep the WLED on in case I want
to access it. You can make the Digi-Quad turn off and on a relay for the lights but I chose this
way since it’s what I’m familiar with.
I only have one string of 1200 lights hooked up now but have room for more if I want to add
more lights at some point. The board gives me enough power plugs to do the power injection I
needed for such a long strip also.
