How to add a button to cycle through Preset Favourites

[comtsamsmith]

I want to put a flashing row of LEDs to my son's bike. It would be really nice to set some preset patterns and then wire a button to cycle through the presents (No WiFi on the road).

Is that possible without me having to change the code?

I would guess it does it on one of the spare inputs but cannot see anything in the documentation.

WLED does support a button. Connect a normally open pushbutton to GPIO0 (NodeMCU/Wemos pin D3) and ground.
In settings you can configure your button:

Thanks for that I will try it.

Alternatively WLED also can create a wifi network so you can connect to WLED also on the road.

Any news?

No sorry, cause I have not had any time to try it. I gues that will only do the three presets. But thanks for the tip.

I did find a in a video at 19 mins in this bloke explain how to cycle through the presents using a button to activate a macro.

This works like a Charm with Version 0.10.2. But will NOT work with all newer Versions, cause now you can only assign 3 different Presets to the Button, but can't change to the next Preset cause this is no longer supported or is broken.

The following nasty hack worked for me on v0.12.0 build 2104020:

1. Create preset, uncheck "Overwrite with state", API command "win&P1=1&P2=5PL=~", save to ID 250. (Replace the values of P1 and P2 with the first and last "real" preset IDs. In my case, I have "real" presets on IDs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.)
2. Config -> Time & Macros -> "Button short press Preset" -> 250
3. Wire the button per the directions. (TL;DR: momentary SPST, normally open, across a digital pin and ground, pulled up to 3v3.)

Hopefully, v0.13 will make this easier, but I'm not inclined to mess with the betas.

Good luck!

oh my god thank you SO much @kdegraf !!! This is exactly what i needed, been looking for quite some time...
I use Wled in the speedometer of my car, and needed a way to easily cycle through different colors without always needing to connect my phone first. This works perfect!

I'm using .13 beta 2 and this still works. No documentation on this so no way to know if the devs have made this easier although this really isn't a nasty hack

1. win&P1=1&P2=5PL=~

Kevin! I went to college with you :)
This super helpful tip got me on the right path and I wanted to thank you

Every software is beta nowadays. If you are wondering, 0.12 has more bugs than 0.13-b6. Nastier too. 😉
