Any interest in wireless RGB LED strip lights with HomeSeer?

Kevin,

My kids really love the Winamp plugin you created for your plugin would it be possible to have it save the input data so that it can automatically connect instead of having to manually inter the config stuff every time, Also can more than one instance be running at a time?

Cheers Ken

Ken , yes , I can modify the Winamp Plugin for support save the settings in INI. So that when you next time open the plug-in , will read the settings from INI , no need to enter it again.

"More than one instance be running at a time" , is that mean stream the data to multi-controller when playing music in Winamp ?

Thx

Yeah the ability to stream to multiple controllers would be awesome.

Here only using a wired connection. Got it (December?) with no wireless card.

If you have a spare wireless AP; it might be easier to use that to configure the Wireless pieces of the RGB controller instead of playing with your existing AP.

Here are the instructions:

I get the light, but can't find it in my router.. also can't get the windows program to start.. gotta love win 8.1

off to load on my laptop to see if I can get to it...

Very nice Geary!

I have a little free network scanner; but I can't find it right now.

That said if you have logging on your router; and its off turn it on.

You will not see it come up on the network/router until you reset your home wireless SSID such that it matches the default SSID mentioned above. If you are doing this on a wireless laptop connection you will disconnect yourself if using the same home SSID. Try it using a wired desktop or laptop connection maybe. Look up a bit on the thread; I had to install something to get it to run; don't remember what it was.

Curious Geary; post what you have done so far.

here we go..
accessed controller with 10.10.100.254 at SF... w I-pad ( Safari )
connects..
get menu up
enter admin, admin - login
opens page menu
Select STA Mode
there is a data transfor mode = transparent ( not covered in instructions )
go to STA Interface
search for SSID ( SpecOps), find...
MAC = Optional
Security Mode WPA2PSK
Encryption = AES ?? ( TPIK ? )
pass phrase = inter key
apply

STATIC
IP 192.168.1.5
SUbnet 255.255.255.128
Gateway = 67.77.159.1
apply

mode selection STA
Apply

Devise Mgt
Restart

shows rebooting.... forever...

loss of link light

still shows on old SSID, not new..

[gearyt]

changed mask to 255.255.255.0
type off off AES and try again

link light blinked
AND WE ARE THERE !!!

Thanks for helping me discover my boo boo ( mask )

Great news!

STATIC
IP 192.168.1.5
Subnet 255.255.255.128
Gateway = 67.77.159.1

Your gateway IP should be in the same subnet as your IP and typically there is a DNS entry. The DNS entry could be your gateway IP or another other DNS IP in internetlandia. The IP of 67.77.159.1 looks to be your internet address provided by your ISP (just a guess).

IE:

STATIC
IP 192.168.1.5
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway = 192.168.1.1 (or whatever you have configured in your router)
DNS = 67.77.159.1 (or whatever you have configured as a DNS address in your router or utilized; IE: like 8.8.8.8 or whatever.

The SSID should be able to get changed to your residential SSID and I am guessing that it did otherwise you would not have been able to connect to the RGB controller with Homeseer.

Kevin, I may have a bad controller
no red output
strange, checked w/ voltmeter
when I select red only, I get voltage ( gnd ) on green as well wii check further
leds worked w/ their controller

ok, no load
when I select red, I get 12 on Red, 12 on Green, 7 on blu
when I select Blue grn =0 red = 0 blu =12
when I select green grn =112 , red = 12, bul = 0

log show correct info going to controller ??

Do you want me to open up and look for short ?

Did you try to test with another power supply ? You can look into the previous post , another user also report that only one color turn on. Finally it find a problem on the power supply.
Did your LED is common 12V + ?

Thx

Actually I am make another program , that is monitor the Windows's volume output , so what ever is iTune , Media Player or Winamp , also should work on it. Once have a beta version , will post in here.

That Would be awesome, I mostly use Itunes But started with Winamp just to use your plug in for it
