Is it an option for you to use an MQTT server like mosquitto? It's pretty simple and you can use also other firmwares like tasmota or espurna as well.

I don't use and know Domoticz, but I suppose it has MQTT support as well.

i have a mqtt server running in Domoticz..
I flashed a esp with espeasy
And i do have a esp with Thasmota.

Only my knowledge with mqtt is very low

I had also some doubts but love it now. It‘s pretty easy actually. The concept is just different.

Give it a try you won’t regret it.

What do i wrong with compiling _P141?
When i compile ESPEasy_mega-20181017 with Platformio no problem at all.

But when I add _P141 to the map source/src and FastLED-3.1.8 to to map source/lib
Then i add #include "<FastLED.h>" to ESPEasy.ino is see this:
F:/ESPEasy Projects/ESPEasy_mega-20181017_P141/Source/scr/ESPEASY.ino:8923: fatal error scr\<FastLED.h>: Invalid argument

When i changed it in #include <FastLED.h> to ESPEasy.ino is see this:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\dev_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1

When i changed it in #include "FastLED.h" to ESPEasy.ino is see this:
collect2.exe error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\dev_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1

If I follow the text of the developer, he used another directory structure.
Installation :
- Add the FastLED library in the 'src/lib/' folder from https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/tree/3.1.8
- Move this file to the 'src/' folder
- Add "#include <FastLED.h>" at the start of src/lib/ESPEasy.ino file else compiler fails

Please, can anyone tell me what i doing wrong?

For PlatformIO there is a separate lib directory at the same level as the src dir.

Hello TD-er,

I'm not a programmer, only a simple user who was interrested in the possibilities of the _P141 Plugin together with a Huacanxing H801

This is the structure of testing the plugins, I started on another computer with Platformio as descriped in de Wiki. I used ESPEasy_mega-20181023 as file.
First i compiled ESPEasy_mega-20181023, no problem with the normal-test-dev_ESP8266 versions.

Then i add _P141, with the library FastLED-3.1.8 and #include <FastLED.h> to ESPEasy_mega-20181023.
Problems:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\normal_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1

I started again this time with _P142 and ESPEasy_mega-20181023.
Problems:

The third try, _P150 and ESPEasy_mega-20181023.
Problems:
Environment dev_ESP8266_1024 [ERROR]
Environment dev_ESP8266_4096 [ERROR]

These are successfull:
Environment normal_ESP8266_1024 [SUCCESS]
Environment normal_ESP8266_4096 [SUCCESS]
Environment test_ESP8266_1024 [SUCCESS]
Environment test_ESP8266_4096 [SUCCESS]

Then i add _P141, with #include <FastLED.h> to ESPEasy_mega-20181023 but without the library.
Problems:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
*** [.pioenvs\normal_ESP8266_1024\firmware.elf] Error 1 My question to you, can you maybe try to compile the _P141 Plugin to see what the results are in your environment?

Please provide somebody a .bin file

I've such a binary with P142 RGB-Strip, but do not know what is the difference with P141. 4MB version.
download/file.php?id=3594

Hi,
added two bin files with P141. One for 1MB and the other for 4MB flash.

Hope that helps.

BTW. I don't use ESPEasy for LED strips anymore although I love its flexibility. Tasmota has a much better implementation for this IMHO. This plugin flickers a lot in low dimming settings and it has no fading.

ws2811, 12, 12B & 52: "NOT yet implemented". Bummer.

Any ETA on support for those devices?

Hi,
for me ESPEasy was not the right choice for ws2812 strips. I ended up using WLED for that after some research. It has a web interface and supports a variety of protocols.

I‘ve connected it via MQTT to my openHAB. Works like a charm.

Apart from the technical aspect a lot of effects are supported out of the box. It may be worth having a look.
