Hello all,
I would like to build a sound reactive WLED system, which shall control a 230V 500W floodlight. It has to be exactly that one, it’s defined by external constraints.
My first idea was to use the following setup:
As far as I understood I have to setup WLED then to use a single led, LED output to be a “On/Off” and just to use solid color, right?
Would it work? Do I need some additional parts? Is the SSR basically well suited for this use case or is there a better way to go?
It should be ok - should 
the safest way is to measure the input current from SSR (change for the test the ESP-output with a DVM)
Is the current low enough for the I/O pin? Or find out a datasheet for SSR, what will tell you this parameter.
If the current to high, you can use a small transistor. npn or a MOSFET. Rundabout 1 k between base and output, emitter to GND and collector to (-) from SSR!!! (+) SSR to 5V
Maybe you must invert the output signal (easily on config website from ESP)
I’m glad to hear that!
According to the seller’s information the input current is specified as following:
control current: DC:, 3~25mA, AC:12mA
I use the same SSR type in an application with an ESP8266, whose GPIO max current is specified as max 12mA, but ESP32 has a max GPIO current of 40mA.
So I’ll set up a prtotype and measure and test.
Thanks for your feedback!
It should work… All specs are within the givin range
