Wled: Support WWA in UI

[billchurch]

Currently there is no support for WWA (white, white, amber) style strips. I plan on adding this and doing a PR, waiting for strips to test with first. This issue is just a placeholder.

I will buy 1m SK6812WWA 60 IP67 from Ali :-) Will report back when it's arrived.

Hi! Those are in fact supported hardware wise (since they use the same protocol as RGB ones).
Red channel corresponds to amber, and green and blue to cold and warm white, I believe.

What I yet have to do is add explicit WWA support to the UI (as in a colorpicker that makes intuitive sense for white channels)

[billchurch]

That was my thought, what would be needed is mostly UI. I don’t have a strip to play with but will grab one.

I feel like it might make sense to do sliders for each channel, and then maybe some preset color temps ?

Just bough a SK6812WWA. Will report back when the mailman knocks at my door.

I feel a single slider for color temperature would be my input of predilection for WWA.

I feel a single slider for color temperature would be my input of predilection for WWA.

I would welcome an implementation similar to most other CCT lights. An option to optionally enable intensity correction would be nice too, otherwise setting it to a medium colour temperaure would enable both white LEDs at 100% which would make the light brighter than on cold or warm white.
The amber LED is not as bright as the white ones and would need its own slider. That's not a big surprise since most amber lights I know are mainly usable for ambient lighting.

Here is a short video of the strip presenting a simple pattern: https://youtu.be/hz0-mlSzlsU

I would definitely appreciate WWA support in the UI.
I'm going to predominantly using WLED to manage WWA strips. It's a minor convenience to see the colour in the UI as it's going to come out instead of basically just dragging it around until I find what I'm looking for.

Following with interest!
WWA integration would be great.

[MFlasskamp]

I'll second that!

This would be great! Just in the process of adding a 3 meter strip (288 SK6812s) in my office.
The strips work perfectly, just need the UI to show the correct colors in the color picker etc.
