Version 5.1.1.0 of mcsMQTT has customized support for WLED firmware that runs in ESP8266 and ESP32 processors. This firmware provides excellent effects and control for LED strips for use on Christmas lighting displays, room accents etc. A starting point reference for WLED is https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED
When mcsMQTT sees the topic starting with wled/ it will create a default set of HS devices and stage many other end points for ease of inclusion in HS. The default HS device set is shown below.
For those who have never used mcsMQTT before then this will be a two step process until 5.1.1.0 is released through the updater. The first step is to install mcsMQTT from the updater. The second step is to get the updater package from http://mcsSprinklers.com/mcsMQTT_5_1_1_0.zip. Unzip HSPI_mcsMQTT.exe into the HS folder and unzip MCSMQTT_2020.dll into \bin\mcsMQTT.
The alternate procedure is to use the updater's override capability. In that case download the attached updater_override.txt and place it in the HS folder. Place http://mcsSprinklers.com/mcsMQTT_5_1_1_0.zip in \updates3\zips folder under HS. Go to plugins page, refresh for additional and open the page at the bottom until local is visiable and mcsMQTT checkbox can be used. Then use Download and Install button a few lines above.
For those who already have some version of mcsMQTT installed either process should work, but likely easier to do the process shown in the first of the two paragraphs without the need to first install mcsMQTT from updater.
