Upgrade Aldi/Casalux LED chain to wled

Projects

As usual for the holiday season, german discounter ALDI once again had his ‘CASALUX’ labeled LED chain with an IR remote and some simple effects built-in for 9,99 Euro. . 5 Volt … :wink:

So I bought it and pryed open the case.

I desoldered the wires and the IR receiver (seemed to be a tsop) and soldered everything to an ESP32s I had laying around.

Works like a charm with the power supply from the package and even the IR remote works (ir.json is attached)

And here is the fitting ir.json:
