Supporting DC5V/12V/24V and popular ICs such as WS2811, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, SK6812, SK9822 and TM1814, it handles residential gaming setups, retail displays, signage and architectural accents. Control is via the WLED web UI/app over WiFi, with MQTT and Home Assistant support for smart-home integration. Audio-reactive effects are possible with the onboard mic, and DIY GPIO pins allow buttons, PIR sensors or external relays. Compact, fuse-protected and WLED-native, it’s a step up from basic SPI controllers for installers who care about safety and segment control.
Dual SPI Channels: Drive two addressable strips independently—left/right zones, main/accent, or two rooms—without a second controller.
Blade Fuse Protection: Each channel has a user-replaceable fuse; a short circuit won’t kill the whole board like cheap SPI drivers.
Native WLED / ESP32: Full WLED feature set—segments, presets, palettes, music sync, usermods, MQTT, Home Assistant, no proprietary app lock-in.
5–24V Wide Input: Works with 5V SK6812, 12V WS2811/SK6812, and 24V WS2815/TM1814; up to several hundred pixels per channel (inject power on long runs).
Installer & Maker Ready: Onboard mic for sound reactive, DIY GPIO for sensors/switches, screw terminals for V+/DATA/GND, compact housing for hidden channel-letter or cabinet installs.
