Would it be possible to use WLED to automate this light? I am attaching a picture of the board. I am completely new to WLED, but an avid user of HA. I do not require the individual pixels to be automated, I am mainly looking to turn it on/off and control the color of the entire light.
From the picture, I understand the RGB to be red-green-blue. Is the ‘+’ sign power?
Also (here is the big question), as the light is inside a Saua there isn’t exactly an electrical outlet inside to run separate power so any suggestions on how to overcome this challenge would be greatly appreciated.
Looks like a fairly standard Analog light setup.
All the LEDs anodes are connected in parallel to the “+” line and each R, G, B line connects to their respective cathodes.
So to get Red you connect the R line to ground, same for G, and B.
There is no way to control individual pixels with this type of setup.
For WLED, you need a set of 3 MOSFETs (one for each channel) to give PWM control of the R,G,B and get colours.
If you can run a modest (18AWG) 4 wire cable from inside to outside the sauna, that’s probably (depends on how much current those LEDs need at 100% White) all you need to control those lights.
