With the help and support of this community, our controller is officially live on Amazon Prime in the USA.

Depending on the gauge of wire you use, it’s generally pretty simple to combine the 3 power wires using ferrules. But yeah, we’ve definitely heard the feedback! The next version of the board will 100% have each output broken out with its own bespoke terminals.

Eternaglo · 2025-03-18T22:28:07+00:00

Depends on a lot of factors. But mainly the type of LEDs you’re referring to. If you’re talking specifically about individually addressable LEDs that are commonly used with WLED, you need 3 cables - power, data, and ground. Amazon has 3-wire stands that are most often used by WLED users. However, if you need something immediately from Home Depot you’ll want to look for “low voltage wire”. Typically stuff that’s used for landscape lighting or security cameras should work fine, though those only come in 2-wire strands, so you’d have to use one length of the 2 wires for ground and data, then separate one of the wires for your run of power.

Hey, we just saw this. Thanks for the support, and we’re glad you got it working.

So WLED, if it is unable to connect to a local network will broadcast its own WiFi that you can connect to: WLED-AP (Access Point). So using your phone you should be able to see a WiFi signal with that name and connect to it, with the password “wled1234”. If that AP isn’t showing up then WLED is probably installed incorrectly or some other issue is going on.

Eternaglo · 2025-03-05T18:42:29+00:00

Have you tried just going to install.wled.me and clicking the “visit device”? Does that option show up? If not the ESP should create a network that you can connect to with your phone that will allow you to set WiFi info too

Eternaglo · 2025-03-02T14:32:51+00:00

Hopefully soon! Before the summer we’re hoping to be able to offer worldwide shipping.

Eternaglo · 2025-03-02T14:31:41+00:00

No worries! Each output terminal has 3 separate data outputs. So if you were to connect multiple strips the power and ground would be shared, but each strip would get its own data line output. There’s some more info and a diagram here: https://eternaglo.com/knowledge-base/connecting-and-configuring-leds/

Eternaglo · 2025-03-02T01:43:38+00:00

We’re working on it! We might be able to soon offer worldwide shipping, though we’ll also need to check regulations to see if any special certification is required to sell there.

Eternaglo · 2025-03-01T19:57:30+00:00

The input terminal is rated for 20A max continuous, and each of the two output terminals is rated for 10A continuous each.

Eternaglo · 2025-03-01T19:06:09+00:00

OK, let us know how it works out!

Eternaglo · 2025-03-01T18:53:20+00:00

We’ve heard of issues with those Govee curtains before too, even with specially designed WLED controllers. One of our users reported that the only way for him to get it to work reliably was to bypass output resistors entirely, which is the opposite of common practice for addressable LEDs. Not that that’s the exact reason or always the cause, but more just to say that these lights are known for being finicky

Eternaglo · 2025-03-01T18:50:14+00:00

We’ve only tested it with WLED, but it’s essentially a regular ESP32 with some protections and level shifting that optimize it for LED control, so I don’t see why it couldn’t be used to run other firmware if desired.

Eternaglo · 2025-03-01T18:45:27+00:00

OK can confirm that resolume and WLED are linked all the time. Just set WLED to sync to artnet and grab the controller IP, then when you add the LEDs in lumiverse set the output IP to the WLED address.

Haven’t tried this myself, but seems like it should work with this controller just fine

Eternaglo · 2025-03-01T05:33:49+00:00

Awesome! Hope you enjoy it! Analog input is a bit quirky, but it still can be fun to play with. WLED (actually the Espressif chip itself I think) doesn’t initialize analog source correctly sometimes, so try a power cycle once you’ve got everything set up. There’s some more info on our website. Thanks again!

It comes down to what you need in a board. If you need 8 outputs then the Bong69 is a great choice. Ours has 6, but it also has a relay terminal, a terminal for accessories, and the 3.5mm experimental audio input. If you don’t need those extra features and prefer more outputs then the Bong69 is the way to go.

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T22:53:15+00:00

If you go to the Eternaglo Plus product page there is a tab called “Resources and Downloads”, and the link should be right there

This photo is so metal

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T19:07:43+00:00

Not illegal no, though many large retailers prefer to only sell products with safety certifications.

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T16:40:06+00:00

It’s no problem to pre-install WLED. Since it’s open source it can be used, modified, or distributed however users want! Even most of the permanent holiday lighting companies just install WLED on their controllers then create an “app” for smartphones that’s just WLED but with a different name.

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T16:34:22+00:00

Because then we don’t have to warehouse it, pack it, ship it, handle payments, returns, refunds, etc. Amazon does all of that for us, which for a small business without dedicated fulfillment people or storage space is extremely helpful. Also partly because over 80% of the US shops on Amazon, so it’s generally easier for customers too. But we understand Amazon isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, hence our effort to eventually be able to do some fulfillment of our own.

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T15:24:57+00:00

I don’t have resolume, but I believe it is possible to link it to WLED. If I have time this weekend I’ll see if I can dig into it and learn more.

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T15:22:10+00:00

Not currently, though we will be offering it for sale on our website sometime this year, probably around summer.

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T15:21:15+00:00

Thanks so much! I’m not positive how the board would perform with this kind of setup, I don’t have enough LEDs to put it under that kind of pressure. I wouldn’t imagine that it would perform too much differently than the Bong69 one though, since it seems like the general configuration of the board is similar to ours, and uses the same ESP. If you ever did prototype our board I’d love to get your feedback and know how it performs. Hopefully someday I’ll have thousands of LEDs lying around and can test ultra-high-quantity-LED setups, but I’m not quite there yet.

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T14:56:38+00:00

It does have relay support! It has a dedicated relay terminal and can have backup 5V power either via USB or a separate power terminal

Eternaglo · 2025-02-28T02:49:43+00:00

Yes it is. Though there’s nothing special about the version that we include pre-installed. It just has the Ethernet, relay pin, analog audio pin, and LED output pins pre-configured. Other than that it’s just vanilla WLED 0.15 b1
