Examples of apis you could use with MQTT :
Toggole on/off {“on”:“t”}
Random effect {“seg”:{“id”:0,“fx”:“r”}}
Change segment name for scrolling text {“seg”:[{“id”:X,“n”:“AAAA”}]} .
So basically you can use the json api calls JSON API - WLED MoonModules Project with mqtt MQTT - WLED MoonModules Project

I have these settings



the color seems to turn on, but the brightness of the color drops to zero and the LED strip stops shining

Cant read that , here are examples to control brightness

To set it to 100 {“seg”:{“id”:0,“bri”:100}}
Or to increment that by 20 {“seg”:{“id”:0,“bri”:“w~20”}}

Just finished an MQTT integration and had similar problems (commands turned LEDs off), until I looked a bit more closely and realized that I had to post my JSON commands to the “/api” sub-topic (i.e. wled/myled/api) vs to the base topic (i.e. weld/myled).

Not sure why I missed that at first, but once I did, everything worked great!
