Controlling wled-device as segment (to run effects on)?

Questions
1

Hi,

is it possible to use one wled device to control other wled-devices so that if I select chase effect etc, it would run from led 0 to 19 (device 1) and then continue on 20-39 ad so on. I dont want to clone the effect but more like make 5 different 2m long setups with all of them having they own D1 mini to control them. Then if I want to see one pixel to go from left to right (at my backyard) it would then go through first “device segment” and continue on second one. Controlling I probably would use WLED app and Home Assistant.

Cheers

Not yet, but this was mentioned as something to be implemented.

It could be done if you use the E1.31 feature on WLED and some sequencing software like XLights.
Then you have limitless effects you can create. You do then need either a PC or a Raspberry pi to play your sequences.

Thanks. I need to re-think my approach or just wait until the feature is added to wled. :slight_smile: One thing that came to mind was if I could start an effect from the wled API, I could then create this kind of event within Home Assistant or RPI that would call wled’s in sequence. Just need to know how many LEDs in the “segment” and how long it will take to finish. Then call the “segment2” etc. This kind of approach would need a very low latency connection, but I think that’s the case with any wireless gear.
