SMLIGHT - LED Controller SLWF-09

Introduction

The SMLIGHT SLWF-09 is a next-generation modular LED controller designed to offer maximum flexibility in addressable lighting projects. Based on the powerful ESP32 microcontroller, it comes pre-flashed with WLED firmware, allowing for quick setup and easy integration into home automation systems such as Home Assistant. Its modular design allows for the addition of add-on modules such as Ethernet, PoE (Power over Ethernet), and a digital microphone, providing customization according to the specific needs of each installation.

It is ideal for DIY LED lighting projects, music-reactive ambient lighting, home automation, wall panels, signage, and party decorations. Its modular design and compatibility with various add-on modules make it a versatile choice for professional installations requiring Ethernet or PoE.

Key Features

• Advanced modularity: add Ethernet, PoE, or microphone modules to tailor the controller to your specific needs.
• Extended compatibility: supports addressable LED strips WS2812B, SK6812, APA102, and others, with a maximum voltage of 24V.
• Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity: wireless connection via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for simplified installation.
• Ethernet support (optional module): add an Ethernet module for a stable wired network connection.
• Flexible power supply: power via USB-C, PoE, or DC input terminals (5V–24V), according to your installation needs.
• Audio-reactive control (optional microphone module): add a digital microphone ICS-43432 for light effects synchronized with music.
• GPIO support for custom extensions: add sensors, buttons, or other devices via the exposed GPIO pins.
