On some modes my leds are freezing, I'm not sure what's causing it but I suspect it is something in the packed sent to the ESP8266 that causes it to crash or freeze up, when I try pinging the ESP after it had happened it says request timed out.
Anyone knows if this is an configuration issue or a coding issue?

Update, I think it has something to do with if the color led reaches it max

This sounds very much like your power supply is not up to the job. Try with just a few LEDs (no need to change the number of LEDs in the config), if that is stable, replace your PSU.

Hi, thanks for the reply. The powersupply was indeed not supplying enough amps but that seems not to be the issue. I've currently connected my setup with a bench powersupply and the issue still seems to be there.

Update: I fixed the issue, not sure what did it but for anyone in the future having this, these are the things I did: (using 180 leds & ESP8266)
Change psu to one with a max 2.5 Amps (highest i've gotten so far is 2 so that leaves 0.5 just in case)
Assigned new IP to the esp
Changed the sensor name and ota password
Removed and re-added my device in the Visualization python script

Edit: Wave still doesn't work but it's the only one, all the ones that previously did not work (gradient, bars, fade,...) are now working
