Strip led animation

hello everyone, I wanted to implement led strips with this effect when switched on. Can you tell me which LED strip to get and if I can do something cheap but having the reliability and control everything with HA.
I have 3 ESP32 at moment

Sorry if the section is not the right one.
Thank you

I personally have been really happy using WLED. It’s a little DIY: in my case I ended up designing a small PCB that’s pretty multipurpose depending on LED voltage and power source to make it extra easy to throw a new one together whenever I want. It also integrates into Home Assistant very easily as well.
Short and sweet is you flash an ESP device with their firmware and hook up your own individually addressable LED strips.

Thank you. Does the effect you see in the video exist in the firmware to be flashed on the esp?

From the little bit of the video I watched , it looked like a pretty standard ‘chase’ effect which WLED can definitely do. I haven’t used but the tiniest fraction of the built-in effects it comes with, and it’s fairly easy to customize/make your own effects as well.

Once you setup WLED on your ESP and get it setup and on the same network, Home Assistant will auto-discover it.
