Thanks for that! That was the first controller I looked at. Unfortunately I'll be managing at least 50 RGB bulbs (more if I add strip cabinet lighting) which would require 3 Nanos (if I'm reading the documentation correctly). That's $66 vs $2 (for hundreds of bulbs) for the controllers. I'm also using WLED to talk to my home automation (Home Assistant over WiFi) to allow it to also control the lighting based on its triggers. I'm pretty determined to try to get WLED to work with LEDBlinky if it's remotely possible. If you have any hints on how I might approach it that would be greatly appreciated. If I do write an intermediary broker I will try to make it configurable in case others want to go down this path. Thanks so much!

Sorry, I can't really help with the WLED api.

Apologies if this has been asked before - I don't see an option to search this thread.
The default behavior of LEDBlinky for JRD is to switch back to 4-way when the frontend is active. Is it possible to change this? I would prefer it to switch to 8-way or leave it in the last state it was in. Using AM for the FE, FYI.
Also - is there a global way to reduce the intensity of the LEDs? I find them far too bright. It would be wondrous if there was a global setting or slider and I could just reduce that.
And... LEDBlinky is taking like 20-30 seconds to launch after I start AM. How might I fix that?
Thank you!

* Q1: Using the LEDBlinkyControlsEditor app, click the "FE" button, click "New" (lower right side), select CONTROL_JOY8WAY as the "Control", and check the "Primary Control" option, then save. That will set the JDR to 8-way when the FE is active.
* Q2: Using the GenerateLEDBlinkyInputMap app, from the "Edit" menu select "Show Color Adjustments". You can then edit each port and increase or decrease the "Color Adjust". Scroll up to see the negative values. If you set the same value for each RGB port, the effect should be to reduce (or increase) the global intensity for that LED.
* Q3: You'll have to email me a debug log so I can see what's going on. You can enable the Debug Log option using the LEDBlinkyConfig app on the Misc Options tab.

Hi Arzoo and everyone hope all good
I wanted to ask about setting up my main admin buttons to always.
(Exit , Select & Pause)
I want these 3 Single Led buttons to continuously lit during game sections. But is not working.
What happening is inside the color config app
Main Default Buttons
if I set to single led as per my ipac default mapping exit button will lit up for all below all 3 buttons.
I am confused why exit button will lits up every time even for my pause and select.
UI Close - mapped to my Key_exit
UI Pause- mapped to Key_P
UI Select- mapped to Key-Enter
Led set as single > 48 for above 3 default buttons , RGB is blank
Buttons should lit up according to my mapping.
Most fun part is if I set above to RGB color my P1B1 will lit up instead of above admins.
I am using single led for admin buttons and RGB for panel buttons P1B1 to B8
I have also updated to latest ledblinky and seems there is a problem somewhere.
Appreciate your help on this .
What I means is exit button always lit but UI Pause and Select wont at all. This happens when I double click to edit UI pause and set the color and mapping this is the time my exit lits up and same goes with UI Select.
If I launch Hyperspin my admin always active buttons wont lit up except exit only
my ledblinky profiles xml ports for above 3 are set as single leds which is correct and will blinks with all other buttons all the time as per mode I set . So I am confused why UI profiles are not working with my mappings
