Hey everyone, this is my first time setting something like this up I purchased the WLED controller and 5 rolls of BTF lightning (SK6812 SPU RGBW) LED strips.  
I’m trying to set it all up, I got the initial controller set up got it to light up one of the strips by changing it from 30 and now it’s all black. I know I messed up something somewhere but am clueless on how to fix it.

This is all totally foreign to me and I am hoping to get some help to reset it all.

Thank you all very much!

_EDIT_ in playing around the app, it seems it is a “segment” issue with the strips, however, even though I may extend the segment through the end of the strip only part light up or light up different themes, there must be conflicting programming somewhere.  
Is there a way to reset to default setting?

I think I replied to you in the FB group if you are the person that was using the domestic automations controller. 🙂

Thank you. This is an area I have no experience in and am finding it difficult to find tutorials.
