See the changelog for a complete list of changes!
Compilation notice
A lot has changed regarding the dependencies required to build WLED, please check here if you build from source!
Compatibility notice
Due to the space required by the filesystem, WLED 0.11.0 is sadly no longer compatible with 512k flash ESP units.
1M units are supported, however wireless updates (OTA) are no longer possible.
2M and above units work with the full functionality.
I would recommend upgrading the SPI flash chip on your unit if it is too small, or change to a 4M board (e.g. Wemos)
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Happy holiday season to all of you!
WLED version 0.10.2
Welcome to WLED 0.10.2 "Fumikiri"!
Imagine yourself standing at a level crossing and waiting for the train to pass to reach an update with file system support that lies beyond.
The barriers will stay closed for a little longer, but with the heat subsiding and autumn winds coming in you have some spare time to admire the blinking LEDs.
This version's highlights are
- Easy Segment mirroring
- 10 new effect modes
- Sunrise nightlight mode
- New v2 usermod API
- UI customization options: Hide button labels, set a background image and more!
- Option for HEX color entry and RGB sliders
- Per-segment individual LED control via JSON API
- TPM2 (serial) and TPM2.net protocol support
- Websockets support (beta)
- Brand new logo artwork
- Heaps of improvements and fixes
See the changelog for a complete list of changes!
Why version 0.10.2? Where is 0.10.1? And where is filesystem support?
This update contains quite a few new features compared to version 0.10.0!
However, it still does not allow for settings flexibility and more presets, which will come in the next update 0.11.0!
Because it was communicated that 0.11.0 would offer this file system functionality, I decided to not release this intermediary update as 0.11.0.
0.10.2 is used to minimize confusion because 0.10.1 was reported by all builds of WLED since 2006220.
Compilation notice
For WLED 0.10.2 to compile in Arduino IDE, you will need to replace your EspAsyncWebServer library with the Aircoookie fork. Alternatively, you can disable WebSockets support in wled.h by commenting out #define WLED_ENABLE_WEBSOCKETS to compile successfully.
PlatformIO will update the library automatically.
The 1M_ota firmware for 0.10.2 has a few effects (including Lightning, Android, Gradient and Loading) disabled to fit it flash, in addition to all the interfaces generally not available with the 1M_ota build (Alexa, MQTT, ...)
Happy twinkling to all of you!
WLED version 0.10.0
Welcome to WLED v0.10.0 "Namigai"! An aquatic update with 2 new releaxing effects and some nice quality-of-life improvements!
This version's highlights are
- Added Pacifica and Candle multi effects and new Atlantica palette
- Brightness and power can now be set per segment
- Added feature to one-click select single segment only by tapping segment name
- Added realtime override functionality to web UI
- Added brand new module info page to web UI
- Added Art-Net support
- Improved palettes based on set colors
- Added ACST and ACST/ACDT timezones
- Reduced heap memory usage by 2k (improves stability)
- A few smaller improvements (see changelog.md for details)
Known issues
- Some users reported the OTA update failing. To be on the safe side, update an easily accesible ESP first.
- Preset 16 will not indicate being saved to in the web UI, it always appears as if nothing is saved. The preset does function normally, however.
Deprecation notice
Due to rising flash memory utilization both caused by program size and the upcoming file system feature, we will unfortunately need to drop support for some boards:
- ESP8266 modules with 512kB flash memory (blue ESP-01, old Sonoff) are entirely unsupported starting with 0.11.0.
- ESP8266 modules with 1MB flash (black ESP-01, most Sonoff) will remain supported, but over-the-air updating is no longer possible, each new update will need to be flashed via serial.
Sorry for the inconvenience, this step is not taken lightly. If you like soldering, replacing the SPI flash chip with a 32MiB one is a nice project.
My recommendation for a WLED board is the Wemos D1 mini (pro version if you need good reception)
I wish you happy twinkling!
