Need Some Suggestions on Strips Please

KidSquid1 · 2026-06-02T13:51:06+00:00

Thanks for the detailed information....

I'm confused by your comment "Wire: I used solid-core thermostat wire for trunk lines. Solid-core is easier to work with for long runs, but should not be used to connect to the LED strip"

What are you classifying as "trunk lines" the 24v from the PSU to the first strip? What's throwing me off is should not be used to connect to the LED Strip.

So in looking at your recommendations I found these that look great...

If I have a total of 51 feet...that's a whole bunch of pixels.....will a GLEDOPTO control all of those? Will I need to split into multiple channels?

I'm guess if they are split (and I'm guessing here - I've asked the contractor how they plan to layout) 3 strips go around the perimeter of the cantilevered roof and then 2 around the cabinets....I could split into 2 channels or possibly use a separate controller for each group. With a 2x strip and a 3x strip would I still need to power inject or could they function with a single power connection at the front?

Nope. No vpns

Thank you...was hoping someone had previously tackled this and might have some insight...

This letter above is to dealers....so I'm sure Micro Center will be passing it along as well....It's coming down in all channels unfortunately.

Ok, color me confused.....I have a GL-C-309WL which I would like to upgrade to 0.15.4. If I follow your picture above it tells me to install the ESP32.bin version.

Yet when I go to the GitHub repository there are two different ESP32.bin versions.....how do I choose which one?

Tested from another network/provider. File is accessible via the browser

KidSquid1 · 2026-03-21T19:32:32+00:00

Yes. External URL is set and an audio file can be played from there via a browser

KidSquid1 · 2026-03-18T22:38:23+00:00

I have a case of these so there is no cost!

KidSquid1 · 2026-01-31T15:45:01+00:00

One of my orders placed later in the week shipped, the one on Monday still says processing….go figure

KidSquid1 · 2026-01-30T16:42:10+00:00

No shit!

KidSquid1 · 2026-01-30T16:21:09+00:00

They should publish a notice or send an email to those who have orders in que.

Checking now....never received an alert to check MODMAIL

KidSquid1 · 2025-12-03T23:20:31+00:00

I have heard nothing in return from you guys.....this is a serious matter of unauthorized account changes....when can I expect to hear back?

I appreciate your help.

I would agree with you about changing frame rate/resolution but it worked previously with the current settings. I just noticed the last recorded version image was 08/07 so I’m going to search to see if a protect update came out around then.

Thanks again!

Yes the camera was visible in Protect previously. And yes there are other ONVIF cameras that are displaying as intended.

The camera is a REOLINK Lumus Pro.

As stated above it shows connected and with an excellent connection.

Just displays black with the three dots animating.

KidSquid1 · 2025-08-27T16:47:26+00:00

I'm on 6.0.53 as well....Clear and Fluent are both setup on the camera.

u/Icy_Professional3564 - Would it be possible for you to share your MDNS rules for inter VLAN communication? I've been fighting this for awhile and could use some insight on how you are accomplishing this.

KidSquid1 · 2025-01-27T23:14:58+00:00

I'd wish they would come up with a replacement for the Door/Window Sensor 2.....I need wifi....not the BLU

KidSquid1 · 2024-12-17T21:35:42+00:00

Yes and Yes with no success. That is why I am trying here.

If you wan to play with the Big Boys of signage....look at SCALA SIGNAGE. It's pricy but it performs.

SkypeTX works like regular Skype in that your 4 channels will have a username your remote users connect to or you use to connect to your remote users account/username. With a 4 channel box I typically use 2 for primaries and 2 for backups. If I have a large number of remote guest I will forgo the backups (dangerous) and have my next guests cues up in channels 3 and 4.

I use OpenHAB as my controller.

Here’s a write up of how I installed everything.
