I was advised to get these SK6812 RGB W LED’s as they had the extra White LED but since then, the code that I was planning on using doesnt support them on FASTLED.
I was going to use them for the soffits of my house, so wanted to work in HA with different shows but its not worked.
I wanted to upload the comfiguration to Arduinio IDE also.
Has anyone found a way to get this working either in FASTLED and the fork or NEOPIXELS ?
I have 2 x 5 meter sets of LED’s that I would like to run from different channels if possible.
The team members of that project are working on finalizing Home assistant auto discovery, It’s not perfect yet. However, it’s workable.
I think the project is close to the release of .8.5. Reading the project notes, it seems mqtt and Home assistant discovery are getting needed attention.

But can you tell me step by step how you flash nodemcu and then how you connect it with strip SK6812?
I flash my nodemcu by flasher and then connect data to D4and power. When power ON only first Led light from 5meters strip.
I dont know what is a problem…
But i use WLED on my nodeMCU. I write version 0.8.6
But is any other chance to test verify my led strip if it works OK ?
I connect GND from strip is connected to V- on power supply and also GND from NodeMCU is connected also to V-. Then power+ from strip is connected to V+ on power supply and also VIN on nodeMCU is also connected to V+. And DIN on strip is connected to D4 in nodeMCU.
Did I change the wrong settings in the code? I can’t find any other settings that look right so I think those are the ones in the WIKI. Anyway, I have tried on two different strips and both light up only about 1 meter. My power supply is something like 30amps so certainly there is no issue with lack of power.
Figured it out. This has to be set in the wled gui for the controller. Also the HA integration works Ok on ver 1.04 but it doesn’t seem to isolate the white channel as well as wled stand alone. Still playing with it to see what is possible.
