I have this set up and running like any other Tasmota device, MQTT connected and all that working fine. I have connected it to a confirmed WS2815 strip, but it only lights up white and about 1/2 way through a 5m strip. I'm using a 2A power supply at 12V ( 30 LEDs/m, 5m = 150LEDs, comes in at just under 2A required). I have connected GND, 12V and DI correctly. I tried also connecting the backup data channel BI but no change in behaviour. After restarting about 10-15 more lights light up. They are all white, and the controls through the web interface seem to have no effect. I have NFI what I'm doing, so I was looking for a getting started/basic instructions. I haven't changed any firmware from stock, and it all seems to be functioning normally. How do I set it to do some ARGB test patterns? Does it need to be specifically configured to be in ARGB Mode? I couldn't find that in the Tasmota web interface settings. GPIO19 isn't set to anything (stock, untouched settings) - does that need to be assigned to something, since it's the data pin by default?

First time using WLED. I'm using the "WLED RGBCCT Analog and Digital Light Strip Controller" and am trying to drive a WS2805 RGB+CCT LED strip. The only way I can get the LED strip to light up is to choose the PWM RGB+CCT option. This works, but only recognises 1x LED - so I can control the entire strip, but not individual segments. If I choose WS2805 and save, the LEDs flash white briefly and then do nothing. If I try to add an additional LED output (1st = PWM RGCCT / 2nd = WS2805), I can set the length etc of the WS2805, however nothing happens when adjusting this segment. I've tried both a 12v / 1.5amp wall plug and a direct 12v 34amp power supply. I'm using the latest firmware - WLED_0.15.1_ESP32-C3 Am I doing something wrong?

I have two of these plugs (possibly 3) that are broken. One would not turn on the relay. I tried updating the firmware via OTA and got stuck in SAFEBOOT mode. I did a "reset 1" and no change (came back in SAFEBOOT. I did a "reset 2" and it did not come back. Nothing at all. No lights, no access point, no response to ping, no web UI. I tried plugging/unplugging 6-10 times quickly, no change. I tried holding the hardware button down for 30+ seconds and nothing. The other one I have the relay appears to have stopped working. It would not stay on and kept shutting off. Now I cannot get it to turn the relay on even under just a lightbulb load. Tasmota is working and I can toggle but nothing is happening. Is there a way to open these devices to inspect or access for direct firmware upgrade? I didn't want to physically break into it, not sure if they are glued or should they pop apart? Unless someone has other thoughts on how to revive them? Thank you! -Tim
