💻 How to control​

Any device is controlled via nodes.

tip

For more info visit our Node-RED CONNECT nodes page

For control of the LED stripe you should to use the CONNECT dimmer node:

LED strips nodes

  1. Select CONNECT dimmer node LED strips nodes

  2. Double click. Choose or add your W4 block LED strips nodes

  3. Choose needed output channel LED strips nodes

  4. Add inject node and in its settings choose number type LED strips nodes

  5. Set the value 0 for led strip turning off LED strips nodes

  6. Coppy the inject and set them 50 and 100 values for half-bright and full-bright of your LED stripe. Connect the inject nodes and dimmer node. Push Deploy and try to push buttons on your inject nodes. The strip should be changing its brightness. LED strips nodes

  7. Let's setting up next three channels. Copy all nodes and paste it three more times LED strips nodes

  8. Change numbers of W4 output channels. Push Deploy and try to push buttons on your inject nodes again. LED strips nodes

📲 How to visualise​

For visualisation your LED (Single-color, WW, RGB, RGBW) loads you should to use one of the UI nodes below (depends on type of your LED load):

LED strips UI nodes

  1. Select the CONNECT UI rgbw node and fill that settings LED strips nodes

  2. Add four CONNECT dimmer nodes, one per W4 output channel LED strips nodes

  3. Connect nodes together - Red, Green, Blue and White channels. Push Deploy LED strips nodes

  4. Check your CONNECT UI: WEB UI or App LED strips nodes

  5. It's possible to use not only RGBW control but also single-colour LED, RGB, WW - warm/cold LED strips nodes

  6. Deploy changes and check your CONNECT UI: WEB UI or App LED strips nodes
