My question is, is it possible to use 1 pin to drive all 6 leds at once in diffrent states of on/off/color/function?
When they are wired together they share 1 dataline (like a led strip).
I think its possible in arduino but i dont know about it in Esphome.
The reason being that then i could use 36 led instead of 6 if possible.
Please share your thoughts and knowledge.
If you’re using ws2812b pixel LEDs, then you could (and should) drive all 36 LEDs from a single pin rather than from multiple pins. The pins on ESP8266 controllers aren’t created equal and when controlling pixel LEDs some are better than others. I’ve personally had the most success using GPIO1 (TX) with neopixelbus.
For example if you wanted to create 6 partitions of 6 lights each:
