Esp8266-Kitchen-Counter-Lights

A project for controlling 12V LED strip using an ESP8266. Also a project so my girlfriend doesn't kill me.

Implemented Features:

• Rotary encoder switch toggles the LEDs
• Rotary encoder adjusts the brightness of the LEDs

Future Features:

• Webpage for control via WiFi
• Adding Amazon Alexa support

Videos and Streams

I am streaming the progress of this project on Twitch and YouTube.

Previous Streams:

• Part 1 - Connecting the LED strip to the ESP8266 and getting it working with the rotary encoder

Parts

I'm using the following parts for this project

• Wemos D1 Mini* - any ESP8266 dev board will work
• 12V LED Light Strip* - I bought the warm white waterproof one
• IRLB8721 Mosfet*
• Rotary Encoder Module*
• 12V Power Supply* - I got a 2A one, but for 2M of LED I probably could have used a 1A
• DC-DC Buck Converter*
• Some 2.1mm DC Jacks and sockets* - You could connect the LED strips without these though
