Okay, so I bought one of those$27 LED strips from Amazon. You know the ones - sold under a zillion brand names and shipped to the US in giant cargo containers.
The controller is one of these:
… which I believe is powered by an ESP8266 chip. I know there’s various ways to flash it, including ESPurna and using one of those Sonoff devices. I don’t have a full grasp on how to do it just yet, because I have a very crucial question before I go through the time and effort.
The lights/controller are in conflict with my Harmony Hub Remote. Using the Harmony remote causes the lights to change colors. Pressing “Up” turns the lights 100% red. Play/Pause turns them a pale green. “Activity 3” (Play Xbox) turns them 100% gold. I have no idea what’s going on.
I haven’t coded any kind of link between the Harmony and the flux_led component. I’ve made a few buttons that set a color and brightness value, but I doubt those are the problem.
So my question is… if I flash this, will it alleviate my Harmony interference? Alternately, does anyone have a guess how to resolve this interference without flashing?
And if I want to go ahead and flash, what’s the best firmware to load?
Thanks!
