I am trying to have my ESP32 control a relay to switch on the main PSU but have no options in the settings. how can I add this feature? I cant seem to find a guide to help.
I’m using WLEDMM_14.5.0-beta_esp32_4MB_M
I just need GPIO5 to send a signal to the relay when the lights are turned on using the wiz remote.
Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks in advance
You have to find a free GPIO pin and assign it to the relay function. Then connect the pin and all of the power supply grounds together. You will have to power the ESP with a “wall wart” sized 5VDC supply, and use the relay to interrupt the mains power on the main power supply. I found a small relay did not last too long in this application, and switched to a solid state relay.
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the issue i have is there is no relay function in the software to assign the GPIO trigger.
I have the power and circuitry all ready to go. interesting about the small relay, i will look into a solid state one.
These are the only settings in the usermod tab
Relay is under LED Preferences.
Unfortunately it isn’t 
unless im missing something very obvious
yes, it sais relay right there.
Oh! the IR info bit? No idea how i missed that 
Thanks
you are.
