Lytmi light strip

Hello all

I would like to know if the Lytmi light strip is ok with WLED or Maybe it is in the future

Thx for your help

At first blush, it looks like 5 analog LEDs in one strip: R, G, B, CW, WW.
These are not individually addressable LEDs, you can only set the brightness for each channel as a total for the whole strip.

WLED can drive each of those individual channels and can combine them into a single colour controlled LED - almost.
When you choose the configuration of the analog hardware, you can use RGBW or RGB+CCT to allow you to manage 4 of your 5 channels in a “single LED” from WLEDs POV. You’ll have to manage the remaining channel as a 2nd standalone LED in WLED.
That may or may not be a big deal for you.

You could of course manage the RGB channels together as a single LED, to set colour and brightness.
You could then have 2 additional single LEDs for WW and CW to manage their individual brightness.

Its all up to what you need to be able to do in your setup.

Wow, thanks for the super detailed answer.
I confirm that the LEDs are individually addressable. I did the test earlier by plugging in the LED strip because I already received it.
If I follow you, whatever happens, is this WLED compatible?
The only problem is that I don’t know which mode to choose as the type of strip in WLED.

The link you provided shows a strip that is NOT individually addressable (IA).
To be clear, if you have IA LEDs, you can set them up so that different LEDs have different colours and/or brightness even if they’re next to each other. The link you provided isn’t for that style of LEDs. What you show is a strip where all the Reds, and all the Greens and all the Blues have the same brightness. There’s no way to light one strip with Red, Yellow and Blue LEDs at the same time. You have to pick one colour for the whole strip. That’s what’s meant by Analog LEDs.

sorry I’m going to be a little off topic

how do you see that it’s an IA LEDs? I admit that on the product page I didn’t see anything in the description, or are you used to it and visually saw it straight away?

I didn’t even know that there were analog or digital LED strips.

So the digital LED strips is much better for me or no?

so for my initial problem I am not going to use this LED strip with WLED, I am nevertheless looking for the same type of strip with this silicone appearance surrounding the LEDs but addressable… do you have a model to recommend to me?

in any case thank you very much for all this detailed information and above all for taking the time to answer me

Just from the 1st and 6th pictures in their description, it shows the physical connections as 24V, CW,R,G,B,WW. That means you can only control those 5 channels for the whole strip at the same time.
That means Analog (A) not Individually Addressable (IA).

Digital (IA) strips typically have power (V+, Ground) and data (Data In, Data out) connections.

so for my initial problem I am not going to use this LED strip with WLED, I am nevertheless looking for the same type of strip with this silicone appearance surrounding the LEDs but addressable… do you have a model to recommend to me?

Not something I use, if you search the forum you may find some examples.

Ok, no problem

Thx for your time

hello @divsys
sorry to remind you but I need information regarding this LED strip

can you tell me if this led strip is ok for wled?
what is IC I don’t understand, the LEDs are addressable but I don’t understand LED chip: 2811IC With 5050, is it a mix between Analog and Digital?
THX

Sounds like it will work. Keep in mind that every 3 LEDs are tied to 1 address so if you tell LED #1 to be Red you will have the first 3 LEDs turn red. It says 84 LEDs/M but every 3 are chained together so really for programming it’s 28LED address/M

top. thank you for the answer
Basically in the WLED configuration if I understood correctly, I put 84 LEDs in total because I have 3M in total.
Basically, the LEDs can be addressed three by three, is that right?

Correct :slight_smile:

Hello everyone,
I’m really struggling to configure my LED strip
It sparkles with differents colors . I can’t find the right setting in WLED preferences.
I have a 12V power supply
I have the 12V5V transformer
Here’s what it does to me when it’s plugged in.
I put 84 Leds

This informations for my Led strip

thanks in advance

When the LED strip is connected to its original receiver, everything works correctly.
I’m really lost. Thank you in advance for your help.

what I don’t understand is that when I’m connected to the ESP and WLED, the first six LEDs are a different color than the rest of the strip

The led strip blinking

It’s hard to see how your circuit is wired from that photo, but it appears that there is no connection from one of the GND terminals on the ESP32 to your neutral off the power supply.

Your Esp should never be connected to the power supplies neutral. Neutral is AC. DC has positive & negative.

Anyways, you may want to connect the negative (ground) of the Esp to the LED’s negative (ground). Your buck converter may not be passing negative (ground) through it correctly.
I’m not convinced you have a ground issue though.

You may want to ditch those dupont wires. In general they make poor connections and even more so when you try to put them in those wago connectors.

Hello Guys
Tank’s for answers
I finally bought a Athom controller
Your answers confort me i’m a bad with electronic :joy::joy::joy:

sorry to bother you
But for my personal culture,
Do you have a video link or a detailed diagram explaining how to properly isolate the ESP from the rest of the LED strip while having a single power supply to power everything.
Because from what I understood I did it wrong, but I would like to know how to do it
