So i bought a floor lamp, similer to the hue signe lamp, its segmented but i dont know if wled would be a good option for it or what controller would be a good option, it has 4 pins

    Okay, its my first project with rgb strip, though its inside the device, but on all the diagram pictures i have found with the quinled digs it looks like only 3 wires is going to the leds

            It can do a vertical rainbow and stuff so it must be addressable, but it also has a mode with multiple static colors, where every color covers 3 leds so im pretty sure its segmented, but its hard to tell when in rainbow mode, and the 3 LEDs per color could be an astatic choice

              Addressable can be set to a single static color too. If you test it with different patterns, is it always 3 LEDs per color? If so that indicates they’re possibly 12V WS2811 LEDs as they’re only addressable every 3 LEDs.

                I’m currently only using the led controller that came with the lamp, so its hard to test, as its just using one of those shitty remotes and some preset patterns, and yes I know, but from what I could tell it is just every 3 LEDs and it’s late, might check tomorrow, I’m currently on vacation, i just saw the lamp, and bought it, and started thinking about how to make it smart

        I also have an extra esp32 laying around bit i dont know much about which pins does what, i have tried to learn, but never really had a specific need to learn it, so i never really understood what i was looking at, I always need reason to learn, otherwise i just can’t really learn anything

          WLED has pin diagrams that you can use to connect things together. Find out the voltage your LEDs use and then go from there. 4 pin addressable are typically something like the WS2811 or WS2815
