Multiple leds on one device #46

Open hans-martijn opened 2 years ago

hans-martijn commented 2 years ago

Is there a way to control multiple leds on one device? I have two SK6812s on one esp8266, the first is configured as leds 1-12 and the second 13-24. I'd like to be able to address them separately. That might be already possible, but unfortunately I don't know how.

So you want two separate homekit accessories, one for the leds from 1-12 and a second one for the leds from 13-24?

hans-martijn commented 2 years ago

Yes, I think that would be the easiest solution I think.

Since I think I wasn't clear, I added a picture. These are actually two different lights, connected to a single ESP8266.

The most elegant way would probably be to add segments support to this plugin. The option Make a segment for each output would solve your problem and it would be in general a nice feature.

Would Apple Home understand the segments? If it does, it would be a really cool feature indeed!

I just downloaded WLED-segment, which I do have to test yet, but promises to do exactly what I need. Maybe it's possible to integrate?
