Power helper, new effects, and IR support!

  • Improved settings page scaling on mobile devices
  • Fixed Nightlight UDP sync issue

Some important notes:

  • The new auto brightness limiter lets you choose the maximum current your LEDs may draw, this is either <1A if the LEDs are directly connected to the ESP, or the amp rating of your 5V power supply if connected directly to the LEDs. If you update to 0.8.2, you need to manually enable ABL in the LED settings for compatibility reasons.
    Any fresh installs of 0.8.2+ will have it enabled by default with the recommended value of 850mA (with no external power supply)
    Keep in mind this feature is not guaranteed to work and does not account for factors like wire resistance or specific LED type. The calculated estimate may differ from the actual current draw! I recommend keeping a safety margin.

  • If you build 0.8.2 from source, you now need to either install the IRremoteESP8266 library or uncomment #define WLED_DISABLE_INFRARED in the top of wled00.ino.

  • WLED now has a domain! wled.me will redirect you to the GitHub page!

  • Added ESP-01 binaries! You should still use the normal ESP8266 binary for Wemos D1 mini or NodeMCU (ESP12E module)
