Use any IR Remote w/ WLED
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2023
- The new Dig2go Controller comes with an IR receiver, but how do we unlock this magical power? First you need to get an IR Remote. I got a pair of 44 Key Remotes from Amazon for pretty cheap:

The configuration for this Remote is already pre-loaded into the latest version of WLED. Select it from the dorpdown and you're in business. But, there are other ways to do even More with IR remotes. There are json files available for all the most common LED IR Remotes. You can grab any one of those files modify it if you want to, and upload it to your Dig2go. Those files are available here:

The formatting you need to set your own "cmd" is found on this page: HTTP Request API

How did you setup the IR sensor?
Thanks so much! I know these videos take more time & effort with the production but these are my fav Dr Zzs videos. Sorry, but I don’t have the time to skim through livestreams to find all those nuggets of knowledge.
More of these please!
That is AMAZING! I might end up changing the lights in my daughters room to WLED.
I'm glad this helps! I will keep these videos coming! Thanks for watching!
This is excellent timing, I've actually been thinking of ways to contact you because I was curious about using a remote in combination with WLED and figured you'd be the person to ask.
I'm glad this has helped you out!
I had the same though when I purchased my QuinLED-ESP32-AE+ which had the IR built in, but no remote. Now I know. I've purchase these type for remotes for other LED lights that my son lost, and there were no instruction to how to setup the new remotes to connect to the devices.
same 44 key remote, enabled on esp8266, and absolutely nothing happens. did exactly what you did and I put a fresh battery in too
WLED should partner up with these remote maker and put their their brand name on it.
Good god I have hundreds of these exact remotes(1st one), I should gather them up and ship them to you, but they are all over the place at the moment. We installed a bunch and it quickly gets super annoying to go from box to box, changing the colors every day so once I got to the job I changed them out for DMX controllers so they can be controlled by software.
I'll take them! Send me an email, and I'll send you a shipping label! justin@drzzs.com
@@DrZzs ok, I’ll be at that location in a week or so, I’ll round them up and email you.
What’s the update on the electric bug?
...on hold for the time being. Helping my son rebuilding his future car.
Thanks so much! Really enjoy your videos. By any chance do you have the link to the page you mentioned at minute 3:01? the one contains the description pf what each button does? especially for the control with 44 buttons
How is the remote suppose to control the lights…?! You mention nothing of the IR receiver or how to set it up… I saw this video and purchased the same remotes and they don’t come with the receiver so this is some what deceiving…😒
The controllers I used in these examples have the IR receiver built it. Sorry, I didn't intend to deceive. I assumed it would be understood that this requires an IR receiver.
@@DrZzswhat controllers are u using that have IR built in ?
Not deceiving. Just shows your level of intellect.
@@DrGeta666 or your inability to effectively explain things so that new members to the Channel and the craft like me, can understand better. Even a mention or a link to a past video would have suffice.! 😒
@@Kencole19 should all cooking videos show you how to put the food into your mouth as well?
Can you controll multiple dig2go with one remote?
Wow that's great DrZss
Thanks!
@@DrZzs @DrZzs I have one of those 44keys remotes that came with a 5050 5m rgb led strip that o bought a couple years ago. The ir thing it’s in this litlle conection box where we plug the power barrel. My question is, how can i use the remote with My esp32 board. How to plug the ir thing to the esp32 board and to wich pins?! Thanks @DrZzs
I need this in a footswitch.
Is it possible to use an extern IR-receiver for the dig2go? I want to build the controller in a case, the it-receiver should be wired outside the case. How can i do that?
Thx
yes you can. Here is where you can find instructions on how: kno.wled.ge/interfaces/infrared/
Thanks!
No problem! Thank you!
OMG Json remote!!!! Yes! I have a project...
It really works well. And you can set any button on the remote to do anything you want.
@@DrZzs I cant to try this out. I m using it to control DIY home automation
Thank you for your videos! Fun and informative! I have a question, I am using the Dig2go and 44 key remote. After I hit flash on the remote, it goes to palette and then no other buttons work. I can't find the solution yet. Any thoughts?
That is strange. I’d have to play with it myself and see if I can replicate the problem to find the solution. Sorry
No problem. Thank you anyway.
Please help, I'm trying to turn on/off the udpn with "music" button but can't get it to work. i have set json file as follow
"0xF7E817": {
"label": "MUSIC",
"pos": "6x4",
"cmnt": "udpn ",
"cmd": {"udpn":{"send":false,"recv":false}}
}
Take a look at the discord server if you haven't joined it. They are super helpful and you'll be able to get your question answered more quickly with being able to go back and forth quickly!
Sooo… I think most of us that follow along with you use an esp or quinled controller. Did you use some generic controller that somehow was able to flash WLED?
This was a Dig2go. QuinLED’s new all-in-one controller. Super simple. Comes with a mic and IR Receiver
Thanks for the great effort.
Please is there a workaround we can do to enable Google assistant work with wled?
I don't know of a way to get google assistant to work with WLED. There's the Emulate Alexa Device function, but nothing for Google that I know of. Sorry.
@@DrZzs Thanks DrZzs
@@DrZzs I have Alexa app in my phone but it's not discovering the wled even under the same router. Is there anything I am missing?

This really frustrates me when content creators don’t show the entire process… from what I gather all I have to do is make the change in WLED to activate the remote and it should work… 🤦🏽♂️ I bought the two remotes and they didn’t come with the IR box so now what…?!
This is the same problem I’m having and one would think he would cover that in the video… 😠 the remotes he suggested don’t come with that control module. Waste of money and takes away from the product more than it benefits. So disappointing…!

That's how you add an IR receiver to an ESP32 or ESP8266.
Sorry, you came in late to the discussion. The idea that you need an IR receiver to use an IR remote is pretty basic. I'm sorry you didn't understand that before you bought the remotes. You can add an IR receiver: kno.wled.ge/interfaces/infrared/

You need line of sight with the IR remote though, correct? So if I have my controller in the garage in a box, I would have to go out there with the remote?
Yes since they are just IR you need line of sight.
I realize this is 11 months later, but figure I would mention a possible workaround. You could setup 2 controllers. One with the IR module, and the one you already have in your garage. Using the Sync functions you could have the IR controller function as a transmitter for your controller in the garage.
Well...I guess it wont work unless you have a IR controller hooked into the ESP device.....not sure why its not mentioned anywhere in the video
The device I was using (Dig2go) already has the IR receiver built in. Regular DigUno or DigQuads do not have IR built in, but it can be added. This was about the software.
@@DrZzs thanks mate.... It took me a while to understand it...got it setup now!!!
When will this available for sale on your website?
I'll contact the manufacturer and see about getting some in bulk.
Really enjoy your videos, got my permanent holiday lights set up for christmas 2022 from all the useful info on your channel. I have an issue and am curious if you have had a similar issue or maybe even resolved the issue. Im using Alling WS2811 12v leds, esp32 controller, line level shifter, 12v 50amp 600 watt power supply, and a 12v to 5v transformer for the power to the ESP32. First christmas season, no failures. Fast forward to july not even a full year later, I have probably had 16-23 individual pixel failures (changing 2 pixels per failure). This is really eating my lunch trying to understand why. Hoping you have some insight, thanks in advance!
Could just be a bad batch of pixels. Might be voltage fluctuation from the power supply. Might be moisture getting past the epoxy that's supposed to seal the pixels. Wish I had a more precise answer for you. Sorry.
Would there be a way to set this up on a DigQuad?
yes. You'd have to buy an IR receiver, connect it to one of the extra available pins on the quad and set it up in the config. I'll put that on my list of things to do during a stream to show how it could be done.
@@DrZzs Brilliant, thank you.
Is it work with esp8266? Or it will work with esp32 only
It would work with an 8266, but you’ll have to get an IR receiver. With the Dig2Go controller the IR receiver is already included and set up.
@@DrZzsany recommended links for adding a receiver to a Dig-Uno?
@@DrZzsgeez!! But how does one set that up…?!! You are basically telling me how to perform the surgery without teaching me how to make the initial incision… 🙄🤦🏽♂️
Dont work with me i dont no why....
Which device are you using? A Dig2Go? Maybe the IR control pins need to be configured in the Config.
@@DrZzs i use wemos d1 mini....
Any chance anybody is using 14 beta and the Wiz remote (RF)?
I have the wiz remote. It should work with 14b4. Intermit tech did a video about it a couple weeks ago.
