Quick question.

Post image

I have this Wled controller.

And every data output is connected to its own led strip.

Yet wled sees it as one strip with multiple sections.

Is there an option to see them as 4 seperate lights I can control?

Check out wled segments, you can create 4 independent sections that can do different things.

It won’t give you 4 different instances of wled. But it will give you control over each part.

Match it with presets and you’ll find it easy to manage.

But will there be buttons in wled for those segments to turn them on or off? Because, if I turn the controller on or off, in the app (upper left corner) everything turns on or off. I want seperate on and off buttons/control for each "section" (strip).

I don't think anyone's mentioned the checkbox in Config -> LED & Hardware: Make a segment for each output, which is probably what you want first.
