Simple holiday lights ESP8266 firmware with 20 effects directly controllable from Domoticz. Number of LEDs per strip is configurable via MQTT message as is the type of LEDs used. Supports multiple zones (on multiple pins; max: 6) and up to 9 sections in each zone. Basic Boblight support on zone 0. Also supports Domoticz RGBW Switch type natively.

• 20 LED effects (
• Set-up on first use / configure via MQTT/web server
• Uses WiFi Manager for initial configuration
• Change LED type & number of LEDs via MQTT message or embedded web interface
• basic Boblight support (works with Kodi)
• Restart and/or reset ESP to initial state via MQTT message
• Supports OTA updates
• Supports: WS2801, WS2811 and WS2812B LED strips
• Supports native Domoticz control (virtual selector switch) via MQTT

• Use GPIO14 (clock) and GPIO12 (data) only for zone 0 & SPI based chip
• Use GPIO 0,4,2,5,15,13 pins for non-SPI based chips (3-wire pixels WS2812/WS2811)
• Use only zones 0 and 1 for WS2811 pixels
• Use 64k SPIFFS on ESP01 if possible (for OTA updates via Arduino IDE)
• Configure via embedded web server
• Configure via MQTT message:
  • LEDstrip/led-xxxxxx/set/zones [{JSON}] zone 0 configuration in JSON format
    • {JSON} = { "zones":[{"ledtype":"WSxxxx", "leds":50, "sections":"0,25"},{"ledtype":...}] }
    • "ledtype" : [WS2801|WS2811|WS2812] LED strip type
    • "leds" : [#] # of LEDs in zone 0
    • "sections" : [0,#,...] section's start delimited by comma
  • LEDstrip/led-xxxxxx/set/effect [#] # of effect
  • LEDstrip/led-xxxxxx/set/idx [#] # of Domoticz virtual switch idx
  • LEDstrip/led-xxxxxx/set/hue [#] set Hue
  • LEDstrip/led-xxxxxx/set/brightness [#] global brightness control
  • LEDstrip/led-xxxxxx/command/restart
  • LEDstrip/led-xxxxxx/command/reset [1] factory reset
• In Domoticz create a virtual Selector Switch, with options for each effect
• Due to ESP8266 HW limitations and speed of LED updates it is only possible to drive about 400-450 LEDs
