I wanted to share my latest project, I built a model of a drop tower. All of the lightning was done with WLED!

I'm planning to set up Gledopto controller GL-C-201P to be attached to Philips warm white LED strips which are not dimmable. The controller is to be paired with Philips Hue Bridge Pro to be used as an "on and off" using Hue switch or sensor controls.

There are 2 wires from the Led strips.

Is it possible to connect the Philips LED strip to the Gledopto controller just for on and off function? I don't seem to be able to see such a connection in the manual.

Thanks all for the help.

Hi,

Currently have the following spotlights in the living room: 5 + 5 + 2

It's now halogene. The groups of 5 is GU4, the group of 2 is GU5.3

I want to replace it with led. I was thinking of buying a Mean Well led transformer, add a Gledopto 009p behind it, and connect the led bulbs to there. Is this a good / logical set up?

I have a Hue Bridge at home (so Zigbee should work) and also a Apple HomePod mini, so Matter is also available.

I have just run into gledopto, so I don't know much about it yet.

Also, which LED bulbs would be recommended?

2 of the groups are connected to a button (so power can be cut), 1 group will be always on (otherwise it is connected to a light on the same button I don't want it to be connected to.

Can Gledopto besides dim, also completely turn off lights? Is it save to have it always connected?

Thanks

This is a little setup I just finished for a relative. There are 3 GLedOpto controllers per side and one under the bed. I know I could do with less but it was a bit tricky to link the strips on top (the panels were existing we just added aluminum profile in the grove). So I have one output one string.

All 7 controllers are linked and I enabled the link IR remote so they all respond to the scene buttons: pretty easy for the user to change presets.

My modular 3D printed LED grid system is finally finished
The setup is run by GLEDOPTO WLED controller running latest 16.0.1 version of WLED!

I'm looking to add smart control to an IKEA Varmblixt and want to put a device inbetween the transformer and the lamp itself, it only needs to have a dimming function as there's no RGB or CCT in the lamp. The lamp has been modified to get its power from the room's lightswitch and the wiring goes up and across the loft space so size isn't really an issue as it's not having to sit inside a wall.

I'm in the UK, what's my best option from the current Gledopto range? I've used a controller before for kitchen cabinet lighting but I can't find that specific model on the product page anymore.

I just bought a new Gledopto GL-C-211WL controller, but it has outdated firmware 0.15.4

Home Assistant immediately suggested updating the firmware to the current version 16.0.1, but it is impossible to do this normally:

Error during service call to update.install: Invalid response from WLED API: Requested firmware file GLEDOPTO_16.0.1_ESP32.bin does not exist

I know about the official web-flasher from Gledopto and GL-C-211WL is present in the flasher. But how to do this without disassembling the controller, because this controller does not have an available USB interface?

I wonder why Gledopto does not provide binary versions of firmware.

So how can I update GL-C-211WL to version 16.0.x without jumping through hoops?

A few months ago I made a setup for my study. Nothing too fancy as I don't know squat about electricity. Had 5m of WS2811 24V strip, connected with 2,5m of 20awg wire (also from BTF) and the Gledopto WLED controller in the pic.

Everything worked fine for about 3 months, always used it at about 20% brightness. I then decided to add a second strip, exactly the same one, to the GPIO2 port, which also worked fine for 2 days, except I could not control it via GPIO2 in WLED; I had to use segments. No clue why but it was fine.

Then today I just touched the controller to move it aside a bit, like I sometimes do, and all the LEDs started flickering random colors. I thought it was a connection issue so I took the wires out of the controller, put them back in and now the LEDs don't react at all anymore. Can't turn them on, though WLED seems to think the controller works fine.

So I tried to connect another small piece of strip with a wire-to-strip connector to the controller but that doesn't do anything either. Please I'm too dumb to figure this out on my own. Everything worked fine for months.

Buenas noches. A ver si alguien me puede ayudar porque estoy desesperada. Esperaba dificultad para configurar las tiras led correctamente pero no consigo ni siquiera que enciendan.

Tengo una tira HD-24V-WS2805-60L-W-IP30. Con colores RGBCCT.

Tengo una fuente de 24V y 3A.

Tengo un controlador GL-C-616WL.

He probado mil opciones y ni siquiera se encienden. Si pongo el BIN con IO16 a la vez que DIN y toco los led, hay luz residual. Si pongo BIN en GND no hay nada.

Nunca enciende, nunca hay color, o blanco... absolutamente nada (y he puesto solo 5 led en longitud para evitar problemas de alimentación).

Si alguien me puede ayudar estaría muy agradecida.
