So every controller you buy already contributes to it.Important: We strongly recommend reading the Adafruit Neopixel Uberguide. There, many basics for the use of addressable pixel strips are explained. For the 1000µF capacitor and fuse recommended for each supply, we offer our Fused Pixel Power Capacitor Board. The resistor used in the Uberguide and the necessary level shifters for the data line are already integrated on our controller.The distance between the pixel controller and the pixel strip can be up to two metres due to the built-in 74AHCT125D level shifter. For longer distances to the Strip, we recommend our Pixel Range Extender.Version differencesSee cod.m Knowledge Base: WLED Controller - Versions.Additional Linkscod.m Knowledge Base: WLED ControllerWLED documentationWLED Controller (Wi-Fi) on GitHub Downloadsgeneralexample .loxone-fileV0.10Quick Start Guide/Data Sheet WLED Controller V0.10Wiring Sheme WLED Controller V0.10 WS281x/SK6812 5V/12V/24VWiring Sheme WLED Controller V0.10 WS2801 5V/12V/24VWiring Sheme WLED Controller V0.10 WS2815 12VInstructions and wiring diagrams for older versions can be found in the cod.m Knowledge Base: WLED Controller - Instructions and wiring diagrams.

Smaller fuses can also be used (2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 7.5A).If the fuse is defective or pulled out, the integrated LED lights up. Due to the integrated capacitor and depending on the voltage, the LED may light up for up to 10 seconds after the fuse has tripped.Features Integrated LED to indicate a defective fuse Fuse max. 10A, fuse holder for fuses of type ATO, mini or micro flat fuse 1000µF/35V capacitor to prevent voltage drops 35µm copper layer on both sides of the board for max. 10A load capacity Suitable for 5V, 12V and 24V strips WEEE-registered, Made in Germany, Open-Source (CC-BY-SA) Contents Fused Pixel Power Capacitor Board V0.4 10A ATO/Blade fuse (red)DownloadsQuick Start Guide/Data Sheet WLED Fused Power Capacitor Board V0.4

WLED Range Extender OUT-Module V0.4 The WLED Range Extender OUT module adds another output module to the Pixel Range Extender to multiply the signal.This allows one controller to control several strips in parallel over a distance of up to 500 metres. The controller controls only one stripe with (e.g.) 300 LEDs. By connecting the Range Extender to several OUT modules, this signal can be multiplied to other strips of the same type and length.The IN module of the Pixel Range Extender translates the 800 kHz signal of the Pixel Controller into a differential signal that can be tapped several times from the bus by OUT modules.For more information, see the connection diagram for Pixel Multi Out.Features up to 500m cable length Minimum power consumption of 0.003W (without 120Ω resistor) +/- 15kV ESD protection integrated terminating resistor, switchable by solder jumper Contents cod.m Pixel Range Extender OUT, Art. No. 90066

New version of our WLED Range Extender! Version 0.4 can now be used with 5V, 12V and 24V installations. The cod.m WLED Range Extender is designed to increase the usually short distance between WLED controller (WLAN/Wi-Fi) and the (Neo-)Pixel strip. The 800kHz signal, e.g. WS2811, WS2812, WS2815, SK6812, etc., is converted to a differential signal to increase the range. The signal is fed into the IN module (item no. 90065), where it is converted and can be forwarded up to 500 metres via a twisted pair. The OUT module (Art. No. 90066) is then connected to the digital strip and the differential signal from the IN module is fed in. The completely revised OUT module now contains a WLED fused power capacitor board for feeding the LED strip, including fuse, backup capacitor and signalling LED for a defective fuse. Further feeds into the strip should also be implemented with an additional capacitor board. Then select the fuses according to the distributed currents.In difficult environments, with poor line quality or over very long distances, a 120Ω terminating resistors can be connected to the modules using solder jumpers. This minimally increases the power consumption.Everything else can be found in the data sheet and the connection diagram.Features Developed for extending the data line of single-wire addressable LEDs (e.g. NeoPixel) Designed for controlling 5V, 12V and 24V strips: WS2812(B), WS2813, WS2814, WS2815, SK6812, etc. Integrated fuse with signalling LED and capacitor in the output module (fused capacitor board) For use between controller and LED strip or between two LED strip sections. Range up to 500m, theoretical maximum 1200m less than 0.2W power draw per pair+/- 15kV ESD protection Made in Germany, RoHS, WEEE Contents WLED Range Extender IN V0.4, Art.

WLED Auto OFF No more standby draw when the LEDs are off Digital LED strips draw current even when every LED is set to "off". Each chip stays powered and waits for new data. Depending on LED density, chip type and operating voltage this amounts to roughly 0.1 to 1.6 W per metre – a 5 m strip therefore draws somewhere between 0.5 and 8 W continuously, depending on the type, without producing any light. On top of that, the power supply runs under a permanent low load and therefore in an inefficient range. The WLED Auto OFF module physically disconnects the strip's supply voltage as soon as WLED stops its output, and restores it as soon as data is present again. The controller itself stays powered and remains reachable over your network, MQTT or home automation system at all times. How it works The module is inserted into the line between a WLED output and the LED strip. A microcontroller continuously monitors the data signal: Active LED data → the strip's supply is switched on 5 seconds without active data → an electronic high-side switch disconnects the supply completely Data activity resumes → the supply is back within about 50 ms, before the data reaches the strip There is no perceptible delay. The data signal is passed straight through and WLED operation is unaffected. The 5 second delay prevents short gaps in the data stream – when changing a preset or restarting the controller, for example – from triggering a disconnection. A status LED shows the switching state. Particularly useful at additional injection points Long strips are fed with power every few metres. That is exactly where no control wire from the controller is available – and exactly where, without an Auto OFF module, a section stays permanently powered even though the section before it has been switched off. The module takes its switching signal from the data line running through it, so it needs nothing beyond the injection point itself. The same applies downstream of a WLED Range Extender OUT module, where no switching line is available either. Features For 5 V, 12 V and 24 V, up to 10 A load current WS281x, SK6812 and compatible single-wire signals Electronic high-side switch, no mechanical relay No configuration in WLED, no spare GPIO, no control wire required Switches off after 5 s of inactivity, switches back on within about 50 ms Pluggable screw terminals, 3-pole per side Status LED can be disabled via a solder jumper Automatic switch-off can be disabled via a solder jumper – useful during troubleshooting PCB 38 × 16 mm, 8.5 g Indoor use only (IP20), +5 to +45 °C Developed and manufactured in Germany · CE · RoHS · WEEE Important when using several injection points If you feed the strip at more than one point, an Auto OFF module must sit behind every injection point. At the transition between two sections, only data and GND are carried over – the supply voltage of the preceding section is not continued there. Otherwise the following section stays permanently powered. Scope of delivery 1× WLED Auto OFF Module V1.0 (Art. No. 90068) incl. plugs, printed quick start guide Note on the product range Future versions of our WLED Controller and of the Range Extender OUT module will have load switching built in. For existing installations and for additional injection points along the strip, the Auto OFF module remains the answer.Further links cod.m Knowledge Base: WLED Auto OFF DownloadsDatasheet / Quick Start Guide WLED Auto OFF V1.0Connection diagram WLED Auto OFF V1.0 EU Declaration of Conformity cod.m WLED Auto OFF
