I was experiencing an issue where the RGB ring would randomly flicker or turn on. From what I’ve read, this could be either a hardware defect or a software bug. While opening the light to unplug the RGB, I decided to add an ESP32 running WLED along with a separate LED driver. This way, I could have better control over the lighting and avoid the flickering issue altogether.
Now I can control individual LEDs, plus the built-in microphone enables dynamic music mode.

Can you provide information about the ESP32 WLED wiring diagram? I couldn’t match the number of wires I saw at 5:44 in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZBaBwjGmUA&t=917s) with the wires in the photo you shared. Could you please help me?
Of course, here it is.
LED Driver:
Blue → neutral
Brown → load
Red → V+ (WLED)
Black → V- (WLED)
WLED:
V+ → Red (LED Driver)
V- → Black (LED Driver)
GND → Brown (wire to RGB strip)
IO16 → Red (wire to RGB strip)
V → Blue (wire to RGB strip)
Hi
i had a similar idea to connect WLED to the right - but stupid question: the ring will be connected via 3 wires: +,Data and GND. The power should be sufficient to drive the LED (as it does currently) AND to power an WLED controller… hence i´m tinking why you added the extra power source.
Have you tried before if there is a consistent power for the strip? And if so: which Voltage?
