I am using an LEDENET controller for this project. This works pretty well and is relatively cheap on Amazon.
However it is 5 channel LED controller. I have read that WLED supports 5 channel analog LEDs, however after programming multiple times I cannot get it to work with more than 4 channels. Does it support 5 channels right now?
I like WLED much better than the other options I have seen (tasmoto, esphome). It seems more user friendly for the webui.
I am using a the H801 5 channel option but modifying for the GPIO that my controller uses.
