Support WWA in UI #552

Open billchurch opened 4 years ago

billchurch commented 4 years ago

Currently there is no support for WWA (white, white, amber) style strips. I plan on adding this and doing a PR, waiting for strips to test with first. This issue is just a placeholder.

Example strip: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32430149013.html

I will buy 1m SK6812WWA 60 IP67 from Ali :-) Will report back when it's arrived.

Aircoookie commented 4 years ago

Hi! Those are in fact supported hardware wise (since they use the same protocol as RGB ones). Red channel corresponds to amber, and green and blue to cold and warm white, I believe.

What I yet have to do is add explicit WWA support to the UI (as in a colorpicker that makes intuitive sense for white channels)

billchurch commented 4 years ago

That was my thought, what would be needed is mostly UI. I don’t have a strip to play with but will grab one.

billchurch commented 4 years ago

I feel like it might make sense to do sliders for each channel, and then maybe some preset color temps ?

Nobeernogman commented 4 years ago

Just bough a SK6812WWA. Will report back when the mailman knocks at my door.

I feel a single slider for color temperature would be my input of predilection for WWA.

I would welcome an implementation similar to most other CCT lights. An option to optionally enable intensity correction would be nice too, otherwise setting it to a medium colour temperaure would enable both white LEDs at 100% which would make the light brighter than on cold or warm white. The amber LED is not as bright as the white ones and would need its own slider. That's not a big surprise since most amber lights I know are mainly usable for ambient lighting.

Here is a short video of the strip presenting a simple pattern: https://youtu.be/hz0-mlSzlsU

I would definitely appreciate WWA support in the UI. I'm going to predominantly using WLED to manage WWA strips. It's a minor convenience to see the colour in the UI as it's going to come out instead of basically just dragging it around until I find what I'm looking for.

Following with interest! WWA integration would be great.

MFlasskamp commented 3 years ago

I'll second that!

james-fry commented 3 years ago

This would be great! Just in the process of adding a 3 meter strip (288 SK6812s) in my office. The strips work perfectly, just need the UI to show the correct colors in the color picker etc.

mikkihugo commented 3 years ago

Would be really awesome to get as I have a couple of them

adub08 commented 3 years ago

I'd like to second this too, it would be great! :)

moscher commented 3 years ago

that would be a awesome feature!!

blazoncek commented 3 years ago

As a workaround you can use RGB PWM setup and then change UI parameters to hide color wheel and use RGB sliders. You can control each channel of your WWA using RGB sliders then.

zwevert commented 3 years ago

I would highly appreciate support for sk6812 wwa as well. Thanks !

mattkerrison commented 2 years ago

Any updates on this? I have a few strips of SK6812 WWAs and would be really nice to have a custom color wheel or sliders for the 3 different whites

blazoncek commented 2 years ago

You can enable RGB sliders and disble color wheel in UI settings page and you will be able to control each channel individually until this is added to WLED.

fssup commented 2 years ago

Would also love support for this.

mortelil commented 2 years ago

Support for these would be great!

james-fry commented 2 years ago

Any indication when (or if) this will be added?

blazoncek commented 2 years ago

Not in any immediate plan.

maverick1872 commented 2 years ago

Is there a blocker for having this implemented or has no one undertaken opening a PR to introduce it?

blazoncek commented 2 years ago

The latter. Though it may need a serious talks with Home Assistant developers to recognise WLED device as such and accept it into their integration.

DjordjeMandic commented 1 year ago

@blazoncek You mean that HA integration has to support color temperature (this ui feature were talking about) too? So no plans on working on this without implementing it in HA integration at same time?

blazoncek commented 1 year ago

@DjordjeMandic What happens in HA is HA's affair. WLED is not affiliated with HA and HA refuses to add CCT capable WLED device into integration (as of this writing). WWA support is not implemented in WLED UI (or in core) and since none of the developers own WWA strip or have use for it there are no immediate plans to add such support. But, as always, it is possible for someone with knowledge and willingness to implement such functionality and make a PR.
