Hello,

I tried, to run ws2814 (24V Stripe from BTF) as SK2812 RGBW on a WEMOS D1 ESP8266 with Installed version: WLED 0.14.0-b3  
(esp8266 build 2306180)  
Settings:  
SK6812 RGBW  
Color Order: BRG Swap: none  
Raw it’s working, but blue and white are changed, and if i try to activate swap w & b and press save - it’s all te same. Swap none 🤪  
I did also tried the beta 14 b1 and release 13.3  
Is anyone her with succsessful run this combination?

thanks

something is preventing the change (bus initialisation)  
you will need a debug build and monitor serial output to find out what

Hello,

I’ve found the solution 😄  
With the Onlineflasher I had the described malfunction.  
Do I use ESPhomeflasher 1.3.0. (1.4.0. doesn’t work) it’s fine.  
Beta 14b1 does work,  
Beta 14b3 also.  
After this I tried Onlineflasher again. Now I can control settings over Onlieflasher and with cellphone App and it works fine.  
Don’t ask me why, it hungs before 😬 😬 😬  
Settings for WS2814 RGBW Stripes are: SK6812 RGBW  
Color Order: BRG  
Swap: w - g

I will care now, to make it electrical stable (EMV problems)
