GLEDOPTO ESP32 WLED LED Controller with Mic Microphone DIY Lighting Music Dynamic Modes for WS2811 WS2812 SK6812 TM1814 WS2813 WS2815 Addressable FCOB LED Strip Lights

This controller is absolutely amazing. Easy setup and works flawlessly. The inbuilt mic on this setup is wildly entertaining.

I'm making an addressable under-table bar and booth WS2811 LED Strip lighting setup. Needed the 12vdc (w/ injectors) to push the distance around the bar so 5vDc 2812's were out. Also didn't want to have to setup my own arduino controllers because of cost vs time vs liability. These controllers allowed me to simplify the install while maintaining WLED access out of the box.

Note: Default password is WLED1234 in case you're using ios. Works well and nice packaging, but selling this alongside non-addressable led strips from their store is confusing as this does not support PWM (so you can't dim or control single-color, CCT, etc. lights). Should make this more clear for buyers - took me forever to figure this out. (update): customer service reached out and seemed genuinely eager to clear up this confusion for future buyers and thanked me for the feedback. They also noted that they do have a PWM compatible controller. I'm changing the review to 5/5 because this product *is* great, I just hope they follow through with updating their product pages to make it clearer/easier for future buyers.

The device is great - nice small box, easy to connect and great value!! Playing with sound reactive settings for a while caused this device to crash. Not sure if this will happen under normal use. I will update if this is a persistent problem. One small(ish) issue is component whine/noise from the device when full brightness. It is not loud, but when it is very quiet, you can definitely hear it. None of my other WLED ESP32 devices do this - with exact same lights/configuration. I am running 360 LEDs @ about 9000mA.

TRASH. It takes touch to set this up correctly and then some of the lights will not even work! Do not buy

I should do without the spring terminals that look like flatheads, but as long as you know about that these work great. The meanwell gst wall warts pair well with these.

great upgrade for my Bluetooth only controlled RGB-IC lights.

I'm new to using wled this was easy to set up and operate on my permanent house lights

Device is well built but the wire connectors are rubbish. The device indicates that ferrules should be be used in favour of bare wires but not one of my ferrules stays in the hole (tried 6 different sizes). Web updater is useless as there's in USB port on this. Might be one inside but that would be unusable for many people. Functionality the device is fine but Gledopto didn't create WLED so that's not particularly relevant. The QuinLED controllers are far better than these.
