Hello all,
I’m having a weird problem with WLEDS. I have 3 different controllers, 1 ESP8266 and 2 athom.tech 16A controllers with WLED firmware. Easy and great as the integration and WLED software are, the controllers turn on/off together so I can’t control them independently.
One of them when turned on would turn on the other two, another one would turn off all three when turned off, and the third one seems to be turning on just one other when turned on…
I tried deleting them all, rebooting HASS, still the same thing.
I suspect it could have been caused by the controllers originally having the same name (just the default WLED) and getting added with the same entity ID. I just didn’t thing the name would make any difference so didn’t bother to change it initially. But now they all have different entities (wled-tv, wled-office etc) and still behave the same way.
Does anyone have same issue or a clue how to fully clear an integration?
I have two WLED devices and they are seperately controllable. Ensure each device has a different:
mDNS address
Client IP (if using static IP addresses).
Ensure the WLED device sync settings are all off.
Ensure each WLED light in home assistant has a different entity_id.
Thanks very much tom_I, it helped. I can’t believe I missed the sync thing… Got too carried away with the messed up entity ids that totally didn’t notice that two controllers somehow ended up having it enabled, must have clicked on it in desperation :D.
So initially my problem started with the same server names I used in all WLED controllers, just didn’t think it mattered, which lead to devices getting added with the same entity IDs and conflicts. I had to delete them all and do a few reboots before HASS properly updated them, I should have been be more patient and not rushing it. Then once that got fixed the accidentally enabled Sync feature made it look kind of like it was still not working properly and I kept thinking the IDs were messed up.
Now it is all working great as it should
