I’m planning on setting up full color LED strips (think neopixels) as lighting in various locations in my house. Stairs, bathrooms, under beds, along the ceiling/wall lines are my immediate plans. The problem I have is how to power these conveniently as many of these locations don’t have outlets and I would prefer not to be running a wire up a wall or over the staircase edge to power these. I haven’t been able to find a good solution and am hoping for some good suggestions from your person experiences.
Yup, that’ll work. Wasn’t clear if you had a lot of experience with these strips before.
I’m just getting into ESP32 because, like you said, RaspPis are overkill. Like running a mini PC just to make some lights blink. I do some matrix stuff where the extra compute power and UI flexibility is helpful during development but it’s overkill even for that.
