WLED Controller - Eternaglo Plus ESP32 5V-24V LED Control Board With 6 LED Outputs, Ethernet, and Relay Terminal - WLED Pre-Installed and Pre-Configured

This board is perfect for all of my WLED needs. It is high quality and has everything you need built into the board. I had a unique issue, so I reached out to support, and they worked very quickly to resolve it, as well as offering spare parts to fix it for free. Also, American-made! These are great, and I will be buying many more in the future.

This is a very interesting pixel controller that could have dominated 2-3 years ago. Unfortunately others have come on the market (not on Amazon, but elsewhere) that have more functionality at the same price. The packaging for this is superb (especially for most pixel controllers). The board seems to be a reconfigured WT32 on their proprietary design. Other controllers are effectively hats for a WT32. This uses WLED which is a freeware app. What would stand this apart is if it was designed as a controller and a player for Xlight sequences to set itself apart from most controllers. If this was priced in the $40 range then it would be competitive.The designs that left it lacking, a little, was that it uses a shared positive and negative across 3 pixel strands and tied to a single 10A fuse. Most controllers that use fuses have independent connections for each strand for positive, negative, and data. This has shared positive/negative then independent data - again, not common.This having 6 ports makes it better than other WLED based controllers on Amazon that are usually 4 ports, but at the same price range of $60-70 there are other brands that offer WLED WT32 based controllers with 8 ports; even some with differential expansion ports.Since this is WLED based it can receive E1.31 - which this one having a hardwire ethernet controller (same as a WT32) makes that feature so much more useful. Yet the designer didn't make an attempt to discuss/advertise that this is compatible with Xlights (and I believe LOR). Most WLED controllers that are 1-2 ports are ideal for those wanting simple accents (maybe a couple strands outside, or under cabinet lighting, closet lighting, etc). Those wanting 4-8 ports most likely want more control of their lights. While WLED gives good control it's still nothing compared to a sequence designed within other software. For those buying these - yes, this controller IS compatible to be used with much more control than WLED offers.It pains me to say all of this because I can tell the controller is well built/designed, the packaging is made with care that others don't have - but it's just a bit short of others.

Really great controller--simplifies the whole process of setting up WLED with various voltage strips, multiple outputs, ethernet, etc. Feels like a very secure option after using cheapo esp32s for years. The price is competitive with the QuinLED Dig-quad, which is the comparable product here.

Tested by running 10m of ws2815 (2 5m strips individually). Everything worked accordingly, fantastic and easy to setup! The analog audio was not cooperating at first but I followed the directions on your site. (Reboot a couple times and increasing the volume) and it worked perfectly. Also thank you for providing an STL for a case. It's very niche but adding poe would be cool and eliminate the need for the usb power in certain use cases. Like I said very niche and this product is pretty awesome for your first to market pcb board. Congratulations! Love it!

This WLED controller is a step above others I've used. WLED is great, being open-source and accessible from any web browser on a smartphone or PC on the network, with almost endless customization of parameters and patterns. WLED supports a ton of LED strip types, including some RGBW ones I had. This has so many more LED strip data outputs (6 total), all buffered and clamped. Level-shifted general I/O lines are useful for interfacing with various devices that use 5V. Ethernet is a nice plus, and worked without any configuration after plugging cable in. Status LED were useful for verifying power from both supplies, Ethernet connection, and serial transfer for firmware. Wi-Fi was easy to configure via smartphone connected to its AP or via Ethernet. PCB appears to be 3-layer, with most connections through-the-hole for durability. This looks to be a quality board.It worked fine at 24V, with or without USB-C power connected. Since it has no case it needs to be installed on a board or with some protection from shorting. Screw terminals held wires well. Came with WLED 0.15.1.beta1 installed. Online instructions have introductory materials, coverage of some features like audio input, and firmware updates using USB-C port. It appears to have a MOSFET to control power to LED strips (to save power when off), but it doesn't seem to be controllable from WLED as on similar boards. The external relay support is intended for this power-saving purpose, to completely cut AC power when turned off.I had a minor difficulty at first setting the strip type because it's configured for 6 channels, and WLED only lets you set the strip type in the popup on the last strip in the list. I used the - button to reduce to just one strip and then had no trouble.

I really like how small and neat the driver is, making it easy to fit anywhere. It handles multiple LED outputs smoothly, which adds great functionality for my projects. Installation was straightforward, and setting it up with WLED pre-installed saved me a lot of time. The build quality feels solid and reliable, giving me confidence in its durability. Overall, it offers excellent value for the features packed into such a compact device.
