RGBW LED Lightstrip (Project Cribs)

Is there any documentation as to what the “Custom Effect” numbers mean?

In addition to the link @Bry posted, here’s a tutorial written for ST specifically that should help with creating custom effects:

Will the extensions be available in sizes other than 4 foot? I would like some shorter non-lighted strips so that I can go up the wall between shelves and have the lights on the bottom of the shelves only.

Not at this time, unfortunately.

@BrenenP

Is “individually addressable” a LED strip term or does this allow us to individually set each LED individually, like if I want the 42nd LED to be blue.

I’m thinking I need to update the terminology as many people are confused here. I think I’ll just remove the word, “Individual” which may help.

But to answer your question, the pixels are individually addressable in that they can be a part of pre-made effects and the strip’s pixels will be different from one another (instead of having them all be the same), however, you cannot manually change pixel #1, 5, and 23 for instance to separate colors.

We are looking into a firmware update that allows this.

EDIT: Dangit, I should’ve read further down the thread and realized we have an awesome community. Thanks @darthandroid for answering this lol

@BrenenP

Great work! I will definitely be getting another controller and some extensions after I figure out how I want to stick everything. Keep it up, love your stuff!

Thank you

I don’t see any left angle connectors, only right. Are there any plans on left angle or does anyone have any advice on how to accomplish what I am looking to do?

So, while not recommended as it takes a bit of force to get them in, you can actually just flip over the right angle and it will work as a left angle:

We don’t have any orders in for left angles (honestly, we didn’t even think about it), but we can check with our manufacturer to see if they have any we can buy (they outsource them too, so hopefully the people they buy them from have them).

How do I get them just to display warm white and no animations? Running in HA if that matters.

I’ll have to wait for someone else to respond unfortunately as I’m not familiar with HA

Maybe @nathanfiscus or @EricM_Inovelli knows?

Excited to get mine from just the other side of the state, but it’s been stuck in the Detroit hub since Saturday At this point, it misses their extended window (3-4 days) for first class packages, maybe that’s something Inovelli can claim against?

Yeah, this has been a problem as of recently. It looks like USPS is experiencing some delays. We’re looking into an alternate solution in the future. With the claims, what ends up happening, is that 9/10 the package just hasn’t been scanned during one of the stops and will arrive late and they won’t honor the claim as it has arrived albeit late. So then we’re out two packages lol.

I’m hoping in the next month or so, @anon14959390 will have implemented Shipper HQ into our website which will allow for the choice of shipping options (USPS, UPS, FedEx). If your package doesn’t arrive in the next week or so, shoot me and @Courtney_Inovelli a PM and we’ll take care of you.
