Hello, I noticed that if I try to use the fastled-clockless or neopixelbus light platforms, they say they don’t support ESP-IDF. I have found ports of Neopixelbus and Fastled for esp-idf, but of course none are actively maintained.
Is there any way to control a single SK6812 when using the esp-idf framework with esphome?
I have the same question. Is there someone who can guide us in the right direction?
Looks like it is something that people are aware of, but it doesn’t seem like a priority.

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
This feature… request is not based on a problem, but missing support for esp-idf framework.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I'd like it if NeoPixelBus could support a EPS32 board with the end goal to have an integration possibly inside ESPHome via the esp-idf framework
Board example e.g. like [Atom Lite](https://docs.m5stack.com/en/core/atom_lite)
**Additional context**
There are several [ESP32 based boards](https://docs.m5stack.com/en/products) designed which could be used with NeoPixelBus for controlling e.g. SK6812 or WS2812 led strips, it would be great if they could be run inside ESPHome via NeoPixelBus.

I think that @jesserockz just landed esp-idf support for controlling sk6812 via the rmt peripheral: ESP32 RMT LED Strip — ESPHome
So that’s super neat!
