# WiFi LED Binding

This binding is used to control LED strips connected by WiFi. These devices are sold with different names, i.e. Magic Home LED, UFO LED, LED NET controller, etc.

# Supported Things

The following table shows a list of RGBW(W) LED devices supported by this binding.

Device table with supported channels:

Device Type	power	color	white	white2	program	programSpeed
LD382	✓	✓	✓		✓	✓
LD382A	✓	✓	✓		✓	✓
LD686	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

Other LD*** devices might work but probably need some small adaptations.

# Discovery

The LED WiFi Controllers can be auto discovered. Your device needs to be connected to your local network (i.e. by using the WiFi PBC connection method or the native App shipped with the device). Read the device manual for more information about how to connect your device to your network.

# Binding Configuration

No binding configuration required.

# Thing Configuration

Use the configuration if you have devices of type LD382 or LD686, want to enable color fading, or if the device discovery does not find your LED controller automatically.

# Drivers

You can choose between two drivers with different functionality:

Driver	Supports Color Fading	Supports Programs	Polls LED State
CLASSIC		✓	✓
FADING	✓

While the CLASSIC driver lets you choose and run device internal programs (e.g. alternating blue), all normal operations (e.g. turn on or off, switch color, etc.) are performed immediately and without any fading effect.

If you prefer to switch colors smoothly and to turn your light on and off by slightly increasing/decreasing the brightness, you should try the FADING driver. If selected, you can also set the number of fading steps and the fading duration in the Thing configuration. Each fading step will at least take 10 ms to be processed. This limit comes from the speed of the LED controller and your network speed. Thus a color fading with a configured fading duration of 0s might still take some time; count on more than 1 second for 100 steps. If the FADING driver is chosen, the program and the programSpeed channels will not have any effect.

The polling period is a parameter only used by the CLASSIC driver and specifies the time in seconds after the LED state is refreshed in openHAB.

# Device Discovery

If the automatic discovery fails, you have to set the IP address and the port of your device manually. Make sure that the device protocol matches your device type.

# Channels

Channel Type ID	Item Type	Description	Access
power	Switch	Power state of the LEDs (ON/OFF)	R/W
color	Color	Color of the RGB LEDs	R/W
white	Dimmer	Brightness of the first (warm) white LEDs (min=0, max=100)	R/W
white2	Dimmer	Brightness of the second (warm) white LEDs (min=0, max=100)	R/W
program	String	Program to run by the controller (i.e. color cross fade, strobe, etc.)	R/W
programSpeed	Dimmer	Speed of the program	R/W

# Example

Usually, there is no need to define your WiFi LED controllers via configuration files. However, here is an example.
