// V_TEXT & V_INFO when not using the DEVELOPMENT version
const byte V_TEXT = 47 ; // values taken from development edition MyMessage.h
const byte S_INFO = 36 ;

awesome, thanks!

I'm more of a butcher than a surgeon. I can quite happily take things apart, but fixing things usually goes right over my head!!

I really love this project.
May I can include it in all of my sensors (doorbell, thermostat, alarm,...).

Really sounds great, thanks

Is there a way to get your wiring schema ?

[AWI]

@Mehdi-HAMIDA There is nothing to it. A standard MySensors node (5v) with the strip connected to D5 and a button between ground and D4.

const int stripPin = 5 ;                                    // pin where 2812 LED strip is connected
const int buttonPin = 4 ;                                   // push button

@AWI OK, just ordered the PCB
thx

@AWI: Won't this part of your sketch create sort of an endless loop?

        case RGB_TextColorChild:                            // Text color from controller
            if (message.type == V_TEXT) {                   // if get color from text child
                gw.request(RGB_TextColorChild, V_TEXT);

[AWI]

@mfalkvidd Good observation. Probably the the result of an 'efficient' copy/paste :flushed:

The line

    gw.request(RGB_TextColorChild, V_TEXT);

I there with no reason, can be deleted...

Im building the same light, but i use 12v LED strips controlled with mosfets. Is it possible to use the same scetch?

[AWI]

@Tore-André-Rosander If you use standard 12v strips it won't work as such. The ws2812/11 chips in the strip used make it possible to address the individual led's.

@AWI Is this code for version 1.5?
Im trying to compile it for the dev (v2) but i get a lot of errors.
Mostly alot of code that "was not declared in this scope".

EDIT: Just found your link to the "Conversion guide", will have look at it!
