Date controlled presets

Xj650t · August 9, 2021, 3:07pm

Not used WLED for a bit and have just flashed the latest version and discovered the time controlled presets, including Sunrise and Sunset, this is awesome and will save having to program another ESP to control WLED through JSON to do this.

Is it possible to consider having a date controlled preset for specific dates, Halloween or a range of dates like Christmas holidays and other dates too, children’s birthdays, 4th July, National day etc.

I realise I could probably do this from HA but still not at the point where I have HA installed at home.

Many thanks again for the great software.

Oh wow, you must be reading the change log readme updates. In the latest code updates, a “holiday.json” option was added.
I do not know the details, but if you build the latest code yourself, you can experiment with the very new feature.

holiday.json is unfortunately not for time controlled presets, but just for setting a custom UI background.

I’ve made a feature request on the issue tracker

Date range support for timed presets

**Is your feature request related to a problem?** Having time controlled preset…s that should only apply on certain dates (e.g. holidays, appointments) requires manually activating the timed preset slot on the beginning of the date range and manually disabling it at the end of the date range. **Describe the solution you'd like** Allow specifying a date range (day + month, year support would be overkill) for a timer slot to be active. For example, a Holiday season timer could turn on Colortwinkles every night at 8pm from the 1st of December to the 6th of January. **Additional context** This will use 3-4 bytes of RAM per timer slot. Potentially only the first few slots should support setting a date range. This will clutter the UI. Perhaps the date + day of week controls should be collapsible. Originally suggested by DrZzs and Xj650t on forum.wled.me

Hope to implement it for the holiday season at the latest

Thank you Aircookie, what amazing support.
