Hello,
I installed two white LED Strips to a Wemos D1. I’d like to be able to set the brightness on each strip independently with tasmota. Is there any setting to achieve this? If I select on of the PWM outputs Tasmota thinks that I installed a RGB strip.
Thanks
Kind regards
I think Tasmota can only control a single strip, unless the device that is running tasmota is made for running multiple devices (like a sonoff dual or the 4-channel sonoff).
Seeing the specs of the wemos, I think you can only control a single strip with it. Seeing it only provides 3.3 volts of power it wouldn’t be enough for most led strips anyway (and certainly not two of them). As most strips I know use 12V.
But I could be horribly wrong though, I don’t have a wemos so I can’t judge it, though from what I see I think that what you want is not possible.
Hello,
of course I’m powering the strip with an external power supply over transistors.
My problem is solely the tasmota configuration and the integration in hassio.
Ah yes. Tasmota config as in mqtt? Or the gpio?
If it is MQTT you should reset the device to a basic sonoff, then in the console type: SetOption19 on then set it back to a WEMOS, you now have MQTT Home Assistant discovery set up. In many cases you HAVE to reset the tasmota device to its standard settings to activate this, it rarely works (at least for me) AFTER I set the module. So make sure you have done that before.
If your broker has no user/password then leave all things as is except for the IP address and the topic name (do NOT change the client ID). If it does have a user/pwd then enter that as well in the tasmota configuration.
Lastly you will need to set up GPIO’s, the Tasmota docs say you need to set it up as a Generic Module (18), save it and restart the tasmota device. You will have the GPIO options at that same page now after a restart. But usually I think, tasmota uses different color configurations on different GPIO’s. For example I use the generic one for my LED strips, I use 3 GPIO’s to give the strips a red, green and blue track.
Like I said I do not think that what you are trying is possible with a single Wemos. You would probably need to get a second one for your other strip. (But once again, I am not a 100% sure)
I am trying to do the same thing but with NodeMCU,
I know the NodeMCU is able to run multiple LED strips as I have used the config that Bruh Automation had used for his NodeMCU Light strip ( with a few of my own tweaks), however I would like to move away from compiling my own project and try to standardize on Tasmota as all my Shelly’s, Sonoffs and Lohas Bulbs use and run it well
Can you link to the documentation that you are referring to?
