Nice video! Why didn’t you use a shelly i3? If all you wanted is triggering a message over the network. Using Home Asisstant default Shelly integration would bypass all the mqtt setup. All the inputs would be exposed as binary sensors through the integration.
I thought of having the same setup but rather using shelly with sonoff zbmini(zigbee) or sonoff minir2 (it has diy mode which works local as well) just to have everything running local. I am very glad that I found you by literally by accident and the setup to be very similar and working perfect. My only consideration is: Do you get any wifi dropouts from your wireless led controllers? (esps)
Hey man I just discovered your channel and I was wondering how tf you dont have any more subscribers. keep up with the uploads and im sure you will make it far! love the videos, production quality and the video structure. dont be shy to switch up the content to audio or other general technology stuff, doesnt have to be the newest or most expensive stuff wither. keep it going!!
Thank you so much 🙏 I’m currently moving to a new house and have tons of ideas. It will be a few months before I’m fully settled and making the really cool stuff
Hello! I am looking to learn how to connect an LED light strip to an arcade button so that when the arcade button is pressed, the LED light strip turns on or flashes a specific colour. I have looked online and it appears that an ardunio is helpful in doing this, but I am not sure how to make the connection, or what kind of hardware is needed. This is my first lighting project so any help is appreciated!
Hi Great informative video... The coding is something I haven't done before - so time to learn using your steps... I feel there is enough info in the video and text for me to have a go, Just a question if the the led’s are running a different colour or a sequence in WLED when you turn the light switch on/off will the LED’s return to the previous colour / sequence or do they revert back to the default?
There is a setting in WLED. Go to LED Preferences, and under Default you’ll see two options. The first powers on to a specific brightness. The second option lets you power on to a specific preset that you make. I recommend the second option. But it won’t save any changes that you make. So let’s say your default preset is blue, and you change your lights to green. When you power on your lights again, they will be blue. There is a way to have it power on to the last setting, but it’s too complicated for a comment. But if you want to go down that rabbit hole, I’ve heard the method called “dynamic scenes”. Not sure if that’s an official name or not.
I’m trying to do this with color leds in my bathroom. But every time the light switch is off then Turned back on the leds go crazy. Is it even possible to do this with color changing leds?
Terrific content! Any chance I could implore you to consider a video on how to control wled with Google assistant (if that's even possible)? Can't seem to find a way to use voice assistants to call wled presets.
@@NickRains Not yet. I see a lot of great content on Home Assistant, but I haven't run into much that explains Home Assistant controls and actions with voice commands from Google/Alexa.
I’ve watched this video twice but still don’t understand how you setup the WLED demo light device in HA so that the Shelly can talk to it. Where is that part of the install?
You have some kind of device directly attached to the led lights. Some kind of ESP? How did you integrate that into HA? You don’t discuss this. You only discuss hooking in the Shelly into HA. Some how the Shelly communicates to/controls the ESP device, right?

Oh man I thought this was going to be much easier but I'm sooo glad I've found your video, thank you for the explanation!!
Underrated channel, definitely great content and useful guides
Thank you. I’m taking a bit of a break from RUclips for family reasons. But I have a ton of ideas for when I get back to it.
Great quality from small channel, automatic sub. Hope you continue to grow!

Excellent question
@@NickRains thank you.... Appreciate your time in replying 👍👍
don't stop making these videos i love them sm

Whats that part you have attached to the power pack that is controlling the wleds? I'm very new to wled's, but it looks super cool.
It’s a particular esp32 that I’m pretty sure isn’t available anymore. But if you search for digUno on RUclips, that’s a great way to get started.
Terrific content! Any chance I could implore you to consider a video on how to control wled with Google assistant (if that's even possible)? Can't seem to find a way to use voice assistants to call wled presets.
Do you use Home Assistant?
@@NickRains Not yet. I see a lot of great content on Home Assistant, but I haven't run into much that explains Home Assistant controls and actions with voice commands from Google/Alexa.
With home assistant, you can create what they call scenes, scripts, or automations. And you can activate those with google assistant.
I’ve watched this video twice but still don’t understand how you setup the WLED demo light device in HA so that the Shelly can talk to it. Where is that part of the install?
If you have a Shelly connected to your Wifi network, it should show up as an integration in your home assistant

Please tell me how to make a background image
Great content
All fun and games until your hass stops working for some reason. Do this so your wall switch turns leds ON even when hass doesnt work.
That was a strong password 😉
Are you planning on returning to RUclips?
Yes. I am moving into my new house and my day job doubles it’s workload during the summer
@@NickRains I am loving your channel and can't wait to see more videos!
Extremely so much to do just to get it to work geez
LOL you call this a project 😂😂
strongpassword is strong password
