LEDBinky and WLED (Please ignore!)

[Awch]

Hi all,

Sorry, for spamming the forum! This has now been posted to the main LEDBlinky topic.

I'm hoping to find a way to use LEDBinky to control addressable LEDs connected to WLED. I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found anything yet. Addressable bulbs on WLED have a couple of big advantages: incredibly cheap controllers (a few dollars) and VERY simple wiring.

My hope is to get the two talking to each other but their JSON APIs are different. At this point I'm imagining writing a server/mediator that sits in the middle and translates/maps messages going in each direction. Before I start doing anything like this I'm hoping someone can suggest an easier approach. My preference would be finding some way to configure LEDBlinky's JSON Output to speak to WLED's API but I don't see any way to configure it.

On the WLED side I'm thinking that creating segments for each device would allow them to be targeted easily whether they have one bulb, like a button, or many bulbs, like cabinet lighting.

Basically I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to get started with this project. I'm retiring in a couple of weeks and will soon have lots of time to work on it.

Thanks for any help,

On closer inspection, the WLED Segment approach won't do what I was hoping because it only supports 10 Segments and I'll have 42 devices to light. Instead it will need to be the individual bulb approach for game control lighting:
