As much as I'd like a tested change to be merged, I quickly checked what would be required to drive an RGBW neopixel strip with McLighting. Indeed the only thing...

So here is the remainder of my changes to enable RGBW on McLightning: Extend McLighting.ino lines around 900 by RGBW modes so pixelconf will accept the correct modes. With this...

I've seen that video, and yes it allows fancy animations. However the protocol is quite lowlevel, as even simple fading would have to be calculated on a controller sent via...

You did indeed describe more software to send data. I will try out how to control it from HomeAssistant (as said I do not need fancy animations, just some entry...

So now I am trying to control McLighting via E1.31 from xLights, and after some playing around the strip shows a reaction. However both the colors and the pixel count...

I played a lot with E1.31 and xLights. Whatever I did, my best result was to get only a part of the strip react as expected. Finally I figured out...
