WLED does not work with Hyperion as a UDP device

Operating environment/Installation (Hass.io/Docker/pip/etc.):

Hass.io

ESP (ESP32/ESP8266, Board/Sonoff):

NodeMCU - ESP8266

Affected component:

wled

Description of problem: https://beta.esphome.io/components/light/index.html I am unable to get Hyperion to successfully output to a nodeMCU setup with esphome (beta) using the wled component. Its not immediately clear if this is supported, however it is explicitly mentioned in the WLED documentation: https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/wiki/UDP-Realtime-Control (which is also called out in the wled_light_effect.cpp#L17

Using protocol 0 and type udp (or udpraw), I am unable to get the LEDs to turn on. The following is endlessly seen in the log while the Hyperion server is enabled. Stopping the Hyperion service results in this messages no longer being written to the log, so I am confident I have this setup correctly.

Additional information and things you've tried:

This is my Hyperion device config:

        // DEVICE CONFIGURATION 
        "device" :
        {
                "name"       : "Livingroom-TV",
                "type"       : "udpraw",
                "output"     : "10.10.0.63:21324",
                "rate"     : 1000000,
                "maxpacket"     : 1450,
                "protocol"     : 0,
                "colorOrder" : "rgb"
        },

I have 298 leds setup, so I am clearly only including the relevant part here.

https://hyperion-project.org/wiki/UDP-Device Looking at Hyperion documentation, its clear the expected information is being sent for protocol 0:

Packet Format protocol 0: 3 bytes per LED as R, G, B

298 LEDs * 3 bytes per LED = 894

Additionally, i know I have this (somewhat) working correctly as when I use protocol 2 (DRGB) I am able to get the leds to light the expected color. However the refresh rate is extremely slow (1fps) and the leds flash funky colors in between transitions.
