I’ve made an app for controlling your SK6812 ledstrip with the help of McLightning V3. AppStore: [SK6812 Ledstrip App voor Homey | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/nl.jplekkerkerker.ledstrip/SK6812-Ledstrip/) Github: [GitHub - Grooviee/HomeyLedstrip](https://github.com/Grooviee/HomeyLedstrip) McLightning V3: [GitHub - fablab-luenen/McLighting: The ESP8266 based multi-client lighting gadget](https://github.com/FabLab-Luenen/McLighting) To use the app you have to connect your ledstrip to an ESP8266 board and install the McLighting software on that. Instructions for this can be found at [Software installation · toblum/McLighting Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/toblum/McLighting/wiki/Software-installation). The app supports setting 3 colors, dimlevel, theme and themespeed. **Flowcards** _ **Actions** _ - Change color - Change theme and speed Donations If you like this app and want to support the development you can [donate](https://www.paypal.me/delekkeketel) some beer/coffee so that I can improve the app even further. ---

Hi @Grooviee, do these LED strips have an advantage against other LED strips? Or are there any differences compared to other LED strips? Thanks in advance Dirk ---

The advantage is that the SK6812 also has a white led, besides the red, green and blue. That way you can have a warm white color instead of the colder white the red, green and blue combined create. ---

Thank you for this app, now I’ve finally been able to connect my running lights to Homey. ![photo_2021-02-01_09-13-52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/d/6d447b5a68cdb40780d5a768be0bf81e441e7ed9.jpeg) ---

It’s great works perfect. Is there a possibility to play with segments which you can control in mcLightning but not in Homey. I’ve got 8 segments and would like to control with flows the color/brightness etc. of each segment. ---

The app uses the R[EST API](https://github.com/toblum/McLighting/wiki/HTTP-REST-API), which as far as I know doesn’t support the segments. I will check if there are other ways to change the color and on/off state, but I won’t think it’s possible at the moment. When you(or anyone else) has an idea how this is possible I would like to know so I can implement it. ---

Just looked into McLighting V3 looks like the REST V3 do support the segments. { “segment”: 1, “start”: 72, “stop”: 143, “mode”: 1, “fx\_mode”: 24, “speed”: 253, “brightness”: 46, “color”: [ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ], “ws\_fxopt”: 176, “hostname”: “McLightingRGBW”, “mqtt\_host”: “192.168.xxx.xxx”, “mqtt\_port”: 1883, “mqtt\_user”: “mqtt\_user”, “mqtt\_pass”: “mqtt-password”, “ws\_seg”: 2, “ws\_cnt”: 144, “ws\_rgbo”: “GRBW”, “ws\_pin”: 3, “ws\_trans”: true }
