Feature request
During recent development, WLED is able to handle multiple segments. This is a very nice and powerful feature if you bought the proper hardware for driving your leds, such as the the Quinled Dig Quad + ESP32 (https://quinled.info/pre-assembled-quinled-dig-quad/).
The beauty of different segments is that you can mix different ledstrips (for example combining ws2812b 60leds/meter with ws2812b 144leds/meter).
Hyperion is currently unable to handle those WLED segments as individual segments.
What problem does this feature solve?
Driving more fancy led-setups with Hyperion. Examples: -driving ledstrips with different led-density -combining ledstrips behind the tv with funny placed ledstrips somewhere else in the room -etc
The only way to do this currently, is by buying an individual ESP for every segment, since Hyperion will handle every ESP as an instance.
So in short: this feature will open a lot of awesome possibilites with WLED.
What does the proposed API look like?
I don't know exactly, since i'm lacking the technical knowlegde here. But i think this should be an extension of the current solution, in which you choose which segments to treat as individual instances and which instances to handle as a group instance.
How should this be implemented in your opinion?
Something like this:
This will give maximum flexibility in segment-assignment.
Are you willing to work on this yourself?
Yes, but i cannot programm. I can help in thinking about design, i can help in testing. And i can help in moral support ;)
