NanoLeaf Matter Smart Multicolor Outdoor String Lights running on WLED

Good Day HA Community,
I purchased the NanoLeaf Matter Smart Multicolor Outdoor String Lights a year ago and the controllers started to malfunction segments not functioning and lights randomly turning on with odd colors. I wanted to replace the controllers with a WLED. So I finally did.
Parts List
Enclosure: Hinged Grey Cover 11.2"x7.7"x5.1" (Amazon)
Connectors: Waterproof Connector 3wire, 16AWG Male Female Plug LED Connector with 3Pin Waterproof Connectors IP68 (Amazon)
Power: BTF-LIGHTING AC100-240V to DC12V16.5A Max198W Switching Power Supply (Amazon)
Cable grommets: Cable Gland Waterproof Adjustable 3-13mm Cable Connectors (Amazon)
QuinLED Dig Quad v3 DIGITAL LED controller
2.4GHz /5.8 GHz Antenna + 25cm Pigtail bundle × 1

FYI the IP68 cable ends are polarity reversed from NanoLeaf.

Took a bit to figure out the settings in WLED for the lights to behave properly.
I ended up using the SK6812/WS2814 RGBW LEDs
BRG, Swap: W & G

I hope this helps anyone else who feels the Nanoleaf controllers are not great.
Also I did try and contact support, dead air.

I bought these Outdoor lights a few months ago with the sole purpose of converting to WLED!

I started the project today and had got to your config through reading the docs; but currently I can’t get any output?

I’m using DigiQuad with a dedicated 3A 12V supply but can’t get any of the string to work.

Was your config for a single string ( 20 lamps)?! I’ve seen some posts on Reddit saying you need to segment some configs when converting to WLED?

Have you seen a recent thread on Reddit talking about this? I wasn’t able to find anything at all about these lights. (I’m the guy who posted this.)

I had them up and running for a few weeks, but they’ve fritzed out on me, and I can’t seem to diagnose what’s wrong.

I have these lights on my house now but hate the app. Want to convert over to WLED and will try these settings in the next couple of weeks but I believe these lights need 36 volts not 12 volts.
