Projects project that aims to add support of Ambient Light based on Philips HUE protocol to ESP8266 based chips and led strips. This implementation of Philips HUE is quite slow as the SPIFFS is used for storing setting instead of internal RAM and using scenes may hang clients due to long timeouts
Parts: ESP8266, WS2812B-RGB-LED, USB-Charger
| Wemos D1 | ESP-8266 | Led Strip | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| RX | RXD | DATA | RXD |
| G | GND | GND | Ground |
| 5V / 3V3 | - / 3.3V | +V | Power |
- Connect a capacitor with a capacitance between 100uF and 1000uF from power to ground to smooth out the power supply.
- Add a 220 or 470 Ohm resistor between the ESP digital output pin and the strip data input pin to reduce noise on that line.
