I’m live!
Four windows setup, in indigo, and synchronising generally well.
Right now just using twinkle fox (blue effect) matched with a blue and white stripe on my twinkly lights
Indigo turns an appliance module controlling my dumb lights and sends an on, a sync, and a twinkle fox command to the wleds, 45 minutes after sunset,
I need to buy one more set I think for indoors to use as a master set and test set.
Reason for this is that the master leads the others by maybe 0.5s so if I have another as the master the four windows will be all in sync
Changes in effects generally seem to go well but now and then one window set will misbehave and not follow.
Next steps
Find more effects that I like and have waf!
Have a recurring (timer/pester) based trigger to send off commands throughout the day and night when I don’t want them on (found a random window on this morning)
Monitor carefully to see if udp packets traversing the network cause issues with anything else.
For instance previously Powerline networking devices caused havoc with sonos apparently due to lots of broadcast traffic.
Probably coincidence but sky box has been a pain on Wi-Fi today
The WLED plugin v 1.03 appears great to me that’s some awesome work
If anyone has an ideas for how best to make the most of the plugin then inspiration is all I need!
I’m thinking of putting together a little playlist of effects and time those using indigo maybe, trigger some build up/lightning each quarter of the hour etc
Can seriously see how people get really into this, start adding music, fm transmitters etc etc slippery slope!!
Right chaps (would love to think there’s some ladies following this thread but one suspects not!!!) what should I do next?!
Btw scaffolding will be up in the spring so definitely be fitting strips up around the frame of the house
