GLEDOPTO ESP32 WLED LED Strip Controller with Mic Microphone Music Dynamic Mode RGB IC DIY Lighting App Easy Wiring for WS2811 WS2812 SK6812 TM1814 WS2813 WS2815 Addressable FCOB Strip Light

I’m really impressed with this GLEDOPTO ESP32 WLED LED Strip Controller! Setup was easier than I expected, and it worked great right out of the box with my existing LED strips. The WLED firmware is super flexible, and I had it connected to my WiFi and running custom presets in just a few minutes. What I love most is the music dynamic mode. The built-in mic picks up sound really well and makes the lights pulse and change color to the beat of whatever song I’m playing. It adds so much energy to parties and even just casual movie nights. The colors are bright and vibrant, and the whole thing feels very responsive. Overall a fun, reliable controller that’s perfect if you want customizable lighting and cool effects without spending hours on setup. Highly recommend!

I have a handful of these controllers and they are performing very well. I selected these for their ease of connecting wires to the terminals. I use these in my camper I built and have 4 of them very close proximity to each other and never had an issue with them connecting to the wifi network

So I have mixed feelings about this product. I have at least six of this controller used with WLED and they do work good. Their big flaw is the wire connectors. I really wish they used standard Phoenix style wire connectors. You must push down on what looks like a plastic screw to open the wire jaw and then slide in the wire. Once the wire has been inserted you let up on the spring-loaded clamp. It is hard to push down and you feel like you will break it. Make sure you pull on the wire as many times it does not clamp correctly. It is so bad I saw another model that had levers but it was actually worse than this one. That all said, once you get your wires connected it really is a nice unit. I would say also they make an ESP32 and one that uses the lesser ESP8266. Make sure you get the ESP32 as you really do need the extra power of the Dual Core ESP32.

The gledopto is a great device for a led diy minded peoples. Easy to use great price.

Exactly what I needed for Home Assistant. It connects and operates perfectly. It's not too large or in the way either.

Love the WLED app. This works seemlessly with it

The controller itself seems reasonably well designed and built, perhaps a bit overengineered. The quick-release connectors for the wires is quite convenient. However, the major flaw seems to be in the design of the output drivers. They had a fairly week pull-up, and with even a moderate amount of cable between the controller and my led strips (maybe 3m), the lights frequently flicker. I tried looking at the circuit to see if I could replace the pull-ups with lower valued ones to see if that would help, but as I said, it is a bit overengineered, as I mentioned, and the output driver circuit is overly complicated. It's too bad, because it looks like they tried, although I'm unclear why they didn't just use a 74HCT125 like most other controllers do.

Setup was the easiest of my wled controllers due to the quick connects for the wires. Connected to the wled app right away and works seamlessly with my other controllers. I should have bought more with the sale price I got this one at!

It is indeed a wled controller.

You will need to update the firmware to ver 15.x to get support for WS2805 addressable LEDs though.
