Sync second WLED instance to Hyperion #1151

Closed Araforn closed 4 years ago

Araforn commented 4 years ago

Hi there.

I'm up to 7 instances of WLED and counting throughout my home. I love it!

I've recently installed hyperion and have it working great as an ambilight with WLED. I have added another WLED strip underneath a TV cabinet and would love hyperion to sync to this also.

I have tried using the sync interface in WLED and thought it would work. It does work fine for colours and effects but as soon as it receives the adalight stream from hyperion it doesn't work.

I know there is a way by adding a second hyperion instance but it would be great if we could use the second WLED instance to do just this.

Just to summarize. I receive the realtime from hyperion over USB adalight. I would love to be able to use the sync feature that already works when WLED is operating normally.

Thanks again for all the great work on this.

Best Regards.

So I have looked into this further and have found that this can easily be achieved using the second LED instance functionality in Hyperion NG.

Just set up the second WLED instance to receive raw UDP or E1. 31. Then on Hyperion point set up a new instance and point it to the IP of the new WLED instance.

Works great. Hopefully this helps someone else too. Closing this as solved.
