WLED MULTIPLE CONTROLERs ISSUE

Hey guys !

I have a project that is close to my heart and the only solution for me is to use 5 esp32 with each 1x5m of ws2815 all with their own electrical source.

My problem is at the sync level… I watched several tutorials as well as on the forum and I’m in a dead end…

I named my esp32 this way: Barber1, Barber2, Barber3, Barber4 and Barber5. they are all on the same wifi. Each esp32 works well and I can control them all via WLED.

Let’s say I want to make Barber1 the “master” I tried in the sync interface to put it as “send” in group1 and Barber2,3,4,5 as “receive” always in group1 but nothing happens, even if I activate the “SYNC” function in the Home screen. Same UDP port et 2nd port for all of them.

Do you have a solution to my problem? Yet everything seems so simple on youtube?!?!?!

Thanks for your lights guys :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

What version of WLED are you running?
Try enabling “Sync on start” and “Send notifications on direct change” as well as “…on button press or IR” on all devices. You could also try enabling Receive on the master as well.

I would try to get sync working on 1 device 1st and then move forward.

my bad, im running on 15.4 beta

Did you change effect/preset afterwards? Only sends on change

hey buddies thanks for answered me !

Well try to figure everything, but it doesnt sync theres a couple pics to help you help me


I’m assuming you posted the config info for “Barber1”?
How have you configured “Barber2”?

Of course buddy ! Thats why i dont understand why it doesnt work :dizzy_face:

Your response doesn’t answer the question.

How have you configured “Barber2”?

Doesn’t answer my previous question either.

Yes i did, for barber3 too.

Well after times of searchig i finally find the problem… thats why it does not synch at all !!!

Syncing over ESP-NOW is not correctly implemented as of 0.15.0-b7 or 0.15.0-rc.1
