Hi,
i have realized the illumination of my garage door. Took a stripe (klick please), one esp8266, this power adapter. Then in wled i have created 5 presets. In iobroker i have created the scripts, wich control the process.
Here is the video .

Looks awesome !!!
Would you be willing to share the presets for this, I saw a similar video on YouTube and really want to recreate
I like this. I have a spare 8266, a power supply and some pixels. What do you use as the trigger to start and stop it?
@jlbphotos , yes, of course i can share:
Preset 1:
Effect: Scan Dual
Effect Speed: 225
Effect Intensity: 172
Brightness: Max
Color: red
Color palette: Default
Preset 2:
Effect: Solid
Effect Speed: 225
Effect Intensity: 172
Brightness: Max
Color: green
Color palette: Default
Preset 3:
Effect: Scanner Dual
Effect Speed: 225
Effect Intensity: 172
Brightness: Max
Color: white
Color palette: Default
Preset 4:
Effect: Spots
Effect Speed: 225
Effect Intensity: 172
Brightness: Max
Color: white
Color palette: Default
Here are the screenshots of the scripts:
this script runs, if the door is driving
script runs, if the door is open and not driving
script runs, if the door is closed
Script sets the datepoint “Garagentor_Zustand” (garage door status)
@Colrobertson , I habve in use an 8266 NodeMCU from AzDelivery.
I have two optical window contacts from Homematic (HM-Sec-SCo), one for open and one for close.
This two contacts are setting the datepoint “Garagentor_Zustand”, the triggering starts when the status changes.
If you wish, I can export the scripts from iobroker.
Hope, I could help you.

Amazing thanks so much
I’m new to WLED so thanks for the sharing
Thank you. Very helpful.
Good afternoon. You have got a very beautiful solution to improve the appearance of garage doors. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write scripts, but I really want to put such a system on my garage.
I have 8266 NodeMCU . I ask you if it is possible to transfer the bin file for the firmware, and specify the legs for connecting the sensors.
I really want to do it with the new year.
Thank you in advance.
You can do all that using reed switches and playlists with WLED alone. No external systems needed.

Good afternoon
Excuse my stupidity. I don’t understand how this can be done. If it’s not difficult for you, describe it step by step. I will be very grateful to you.
Hello, @Groni,
sorry, i have read Your post in this morning. Where do You come from? Are You living in Germany? Then we can do a call and i will try to give You help. Hope, that’s ok for You?
Best regards

Good afternoon. I live in Russia in a small provincial town. I am writing with a translator
- Connect 2 reed switches to 2 compatible GPIO pins
- Assign GPIO pins to buttons and select Switch type
- Create presets for the effects you want
- Create 2 playlists, one for door opening and another for door clossing
- Assign playlist presets for on->off & off->on transitions for both buttons
You will find buttons in the LED settings page and assign presetes to them in Time & macro settings page.

Good afternoon. Thank you so much for the explanation. I’ll try to do it according to your recommendations. Thanks for the help.
hi guys, i have installed wled on a d1mini and integrated it into iobroker. now i want to connect a reed contact that transmits the status to iobroker. how exactly do i connect this and configure it in wled? I tried sth with ruels and macros, but without success
you need to enable MQTT and configure buttons to send MQTT messages.
Sync config page in WLED.
Got it, thanks. I connected D3 and GND to the reed contact. where to configure D3 as a button in wled now? Only see button1 / 2 in “button actions” macro setup.
