Hello,
I am planning to put together a "smart LED strip" by purchasing:
- ESP8266 - this one
- LED Strip (%V) - this one
As far as I am concern, ESP8266 has mini USB as input (5V) and 5V as output... therefore, if I use a stripe not longer that 2 meters, I should be fine with a simple USB input to the ESP8266 that ultimately feeds the LED stripe...
this would be ok, if I would just control the LED stripe with my phone (using home assistant for that), but wife is not happy about "fancy gadgets" therefore I need to be able to include into the design also a physical switch.... (it is a three way switch?)
the end result should be an LED stripe that can be turn on/off via physical switch and/or via ESP8622.... any suggestions please?
Thank you all
