Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to create an LED strip controller project. You first learned how an LED strip works and we moved on to explaining and grouping the materials to build the project. In the sequence, it was explained how to easily interconnect the parts to create the project. The electronics part of the project was concluded and we continued with the software integration part.

The software of the WLED application was deployed to the project and you were guided on how to do it. Once the software was deployed, a couple of configurations were explained in detail so you could start putting the project to use. You learned how to create some configurations using the application software and later learned how to integrate and use the project in Home Assistant.

We reviewed some previous content, from Chapter 5, by creating a new automation where a new Home Assistant resource called a template was explored. You also briefly learned how to use them in the project.
