Dual input with dual output sequence

Hi all. About a year a go, after seeking advice from these forums, I created a basic 5V WS281b strip setup for the front of my house as an illumination, attached along my fascia boards (5 meteres). The ac-dc power adapter turns on via a mechanical timer, and strip is triggered by a PIR sensor (HC-SR501). The sensor isn’t the best and can be quite temp sensitive but in the most part it works. At some point I’ll try and find a better PIR sensor and more importantly better colour produce strips, perhaps SK series as the combined RGB white light isn’t nice.

Anyway, I need some help please. I’ve tried to find an answer here, I did find some, I tried them and cannot figure it out or get it to work.

I want to add a switch of the remote variety, so I got myself a wireless 433Mhz EV1527 remote switch kit. The receiver runs from 3.3 to 12v DC and came with two 433Mhz tranmitter switches. The reciever can be programmed to switch momentary/toggle/latched/delay mode.

I want to trigger the lights, as I reach my driveway so all is illuminated for me to see the area. Essentially this switch overides the PIR sensor or in conjunction.
I want the switch to trigger a different Wled sequence/preset (simply solid), either for a set period of time or to trigger on/off as the remote keys have configrable on/off buttons. I should be able to set this, its the connection I’m having issues with.

I’m having trouble on how to connect receiver module to esp32. Also realising I think they’re more “dumb” modules that output voltage as there is no data or high/low like for the PIR sensor. Have I got the wrong remote switch? This is it:
DieseRC DC 3.6V 5V 12V 24V 30V Wireless Remote Control Module 2A 1 Channel 433Mhz Radio Control Receiver Module with 2 Transmitters Small Mini Size Controller : Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools.

I went back to the product listing and searched though questions for esp32 and someone wrote this: "I used these and a buck converter to set pins on an esp32 board to be high or low in order to issue commands wirelessly. "

Is this how how I will need to do this or is there another simpler way, requiring no further parts? Any guidence would be appreciated, Thanks.

Btw I willl be replacing the D1 mini with a esp32 30pin variety to run this setup now, if the information helps.

would the WizMote be an option?

Hi, Never heard of it until now. The remote looks interesting but does it need a seperate reciever commands the esp32? From what I can get, it uses wifi for setup but some other system to communicate? Sorry, I’m still a noob in this world. It does have many buttons which maybe better for more complex setup, I thought my A/B button remotes would be better and easier…more options lol.
You know better, I’ve looked at the remotes amazon. I would need 3 of them to control the same lights, is this possible. Does Wled have built in code to work with wizmote, as programming isn’t something I’m good at, at all?
Thanks
Reading more, do I need a esp32 c3 board, as I’ve only got ESP-32S boards and trying to control my costs?

WLED supports WizMote directly, no receiver needed BUT you can only pair one remote. if you need multiple remotes controlling the same controller, its not the right solution and your switch kit may be better suited

Thanks for your quick reply. As you’ve wrote, dont need a reciever which is amazing. Having a look on amazon, the wizmote was on sale so I ordered two and even if they don’t work with this project I could use it for another, like a matrix panel or lamp.
It’s too bad Wled cant use two or more wizmotes, because the setup is so simple compared to my kit, thats why I’m here.
I still need help with connecting my remore kit to the esp32.

there was a request opened today (by you?) to add support for more than one.
btw. if you want to build your own ESPNow remote (which is the technology the wizmote uses), I made that possible: GitHub - DedeHai/WLED-ESPNow-Remote: ESPNow based remote controller for WLED with support for buttons, button matrix and rotary encoder
