🚀 Want a LED clock YOU control? ESP32 + WLED makes it happen!
So LED strips are everywhere — but what if yours could change colors with time, show temperature, or even wake you up with a light show? That's what this project is all about!
🔧 What is WLED?
It's open-source firmware for ESP32 that turns addressable LEDs (WS2812B) into something magical — over 100 built-in effects, color palettes, and music-reactive patterns you can control right from your browser.
📦 What you need
- ESP32 board (Wemos D1 Mini works great)
- WS2812B LED strip
- DS3231 RTC module for accurate timekeeping
- PIR sensor to detect motion and save power
- DHT11 for temperature & humidity
✨ The cool stuff
- Customize effects via web UI
- Integrates with Home Assistant
- Set multiple alarms with sound + light combos
- 3D print your own enclosure — totally custom!
💡 Ideas to extend
Turn it into an ambient lamp for your bedroom, or wire it to a gaming setup for color-reactive lighting. The possibilities are endless!
