Hi I´m quite new to WLED and need some hints where I have to look for my first project.
My project:
The new ktichen with four WLED nodes, because I don´t want to have wires between the cupboards.
Node 1:
Section: Pedestal light (52 LED´s)
Section: Ceiling light (64 LED´s)
Section: Ambient light (20 LED´s)
Section: Work light (20 LED´s)
Section: Ambient Fridge (60 LED´s)
Node 2:
Section: Ceiling light (24 LED`s)
Section: Ambient light (20 LED`s)
Section: Work light (20 LED`s)
Node 3:
Section: Ceiling light (38 LED`s)
Section: Ambient light (34 LED`s)
Section: Work light (34 LED`s)
Node 4:
Section: Pedestal light (81 LED`s)
All LED´s are WS2805 with RGB, coldwhite and warmwhite.
How can I sync the different sections?
I tried DDP RGBW but it does´t support CCT.
If I use sync interface, I can´t sync specific section´s with each other.
You’ve kinda painted yourself into a corner here, as far as WLED options go - as you found out.
You could make presets for each section with the options you want… and save them for specific segments.
This might work for “Sync” if you had them in the same orders - so maybe Ceiling is always Segment 1, Ambient is always Segment 2, Work is always Segment 3, etc. I see where this might not work (I have not tested) - but something to try.
Use Node 1 as your master. You can also create “ghost LEDs” and “ghost segments” with pins with pixels that don’t exist, so you could have all 4 nodes set up with the same segments even if they don’t actually exist.
If that didn’t work, you could try using the APIs to trigger presets/controls on specific WLED instances.
The basic HTTP API call is http://{WLED IP or mdns name}/win&PL=2 to change to Preset 2.
