dersimn/illuminator

Arduino/ESP8266 thing to control WS2812 LED stripes via MQTT (it twinkles, yay!)

Use a WS2812 LED Strip to build an RGB light with support for animations.

Settings

Currently the MQTT server IP and Wifi credentials are hard-coded in default_config.h.

Topics

The default topics are

Illuminator/maintenance/1234567/online      → true

Illuminator/maintenance/1234567/uptime      → {
        "val": 83000243,
        "millis": 83000243,
        "rollover": 0
    }

Illuminator/maintenance/1234567/temperature → 26.00

Illuminator/maintenance/1234567/info → {
        "board_id": "Illuminator_1234567",
        "build_hash": "7c7eb13b668fae2f371a07928d9e0facd366c9bf",
        "build_tag": "master",
        "build_timestamp": 1584719403,
        "ip_address": "10.1.1.108"
    }

Illuminator/status/1234567/fastled → {
        "val": 0,
        "hue": 0.043137,
        "sat": 1,
        "animation": "sinelon"
    }

Illuminator/status/1234567/temperature/dallas → {
        "abcdef1234567890": 23.25,
    }

Value (Brightness), Hue, Saturation is 0..1 Animation can be "none", "sinelon", "confetti", "colorwheel".

Flash

Install using PlatformIO CLI.
Clone this repository, cd into it.
If you're not using a Wemos D1 Mini, edit platformio.ini first.

Run:

platformio run

In case you have multiple USB-Serial adapters, or your adapter offers multiple ports:

platformio device list
platformio run --upload-port /dev/cu.usbserial-00202102A 

For WiFi OTA upload:

platformio device list --mdns
platformio run -t upload --upload-port <Illuminator_1234567.local or IP address>

Development

Ideas:

• Replace FastLED with WS2812FX and make use of segments
