I trouble shooting lights and trying to figure out if it is a coding issue or wiring issue. I have an ESP8266 NodeMCU and WS8212B 5v lights. I am using a voltage shifter (I think it is the name) to output pin 5 from 3v to 5v (used bruh’s diagram) I have the lights working and connected in HA and can change color and even run some effects. But when I turn off in HA the light does not turn off. It dims low and some leds turn off but not all.
My wiring:
5v 20amp connected to power plug with red going into positive and white going into negative.
Data cable going to node mcu pin 5 via volt shifter.
ground going to ground on nodemcu
I do not have the other cable connected to any thing. I am guessing this is another power cable if it is drwing power from board.
These are the led’s I am using https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K7UHPEC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I couldnt find a forum to ask this question so I thought I would try here.
