Controlling Wiz lights

Enables controlling WiZ lights that are part of the same network as the WLED controller.

The mod takes the colors from the first few pixels and sends them to the lights.

Configuration

• Interval (ms)
  • How frequently to update the WiZ lights, in milliseconds.
  • Setting it too low may cause the ESP to become unresponsive.
• Send Delay (ms)
  • An optional millisecond delay after updating each WiZ light.
  • Can help smooth out effects when using a large number of WiZ lights
• Use Enhanced White
  • Uses the WiZ lights onboard white LEDs instead of sending maximum RGB values.
  • Tunable with warm and cool LEDs as supported by WiZ bulbs
  • Note: Only sent when max RGB value is set, the automatic brightness limiter must be disabled
  • ToDo: Have better logic for white value mixing to take advantage of the light's capabilities
• Always Force Update
  • Can be enabled to always send update message to light even if the new value matches the old value.
• Force update every x minutes
  • adjusts the default force update timeout of 5 minutes.
  • Setting to 0 is the same as enabling Always Force Update

Next, enter the IP addresses for the lights to be controlled, in order. The limit is 15 devices, but that number can be easily changed by updating MAX_WIZ_LIGHTS.
