Ws2814 cant be controlled

Hello i got some ws2814 24V. I tried to controll them with a esp8266 and an esp32 but neither worked
I got a 24V powersupply and a bucket converter to 5V to power my esp all grounds are connected to each other, when i first try to power them nothing happen until i got to wled and turn them on, but after that i cant do anyting. No change in color or even effects i cant even turn them off again unless i pull the plug. Does anyone has an idea what it can be?
I tried every setting and my connection should be pretty correct. I got some pictures but the cabling is a bit messy sry😂 i hope anybody can help

Btw im trying some waterresistance connectors so dont wonder if you see them on the pictures hah






12/24V strips typically won’t work without a level shifter.

Ty for the reply but i already used 12V without a lvl shifter and it worked on Cob leds isnt that the same?

Nope, from my experience COB strips tend to work without indeed but not the 5050 ones

Aside from needing a level shifter, I would avoid using those dupont jumper wires. #1 they can not carry much current. #2 they tend to make poor connection when put in those wago connectors.

I would set your led count to something small like 10 and when you get those 10 working try increasing the # of LEDs.

Oh ok intersting

Yeah these are for test purpose only i wont install em like that. And even set em to something different changed nothing. I set them to 1 cause they are controlled by 6led/chip. So i can see if i can controll the first 6 but even that didnt worked. All leds went on amd started flickering and blicking on what light they wanted :joy: so incouldnt even control that
