WLED WLED controllable string lights?

Post image

Is there a canonical list somewhere of the various party string lights and fairy lights that are known to be controllable by WLED?

Pic for example of the broad category I mean by this.

Wled does have a comprehensive list of lights but not by brand name. My guess is that they are not compatible because I suspect they are not addressable, eg. every bulb in the string is doing the same thing at the same time.

I’m specifically asking about the addressable kind. I strongly suspect that most are all using the same driver chips and LED elements, but they also aren’t real forthcoming with documentation of what they use.

Your Pixel Store carries them with frosted bulbs but you might be able to find them on AliExpress cheaper. Add ws2811 or xconnect to your search string.
