General Settings

Identity 01

Device Name:

Connection 02

URL:

IP address or hostname of the device

Serial Port:

Select the COM port of the Adalight device

MQTT Broker:

Which MQTT broker this device publishes to. Manage brokers under Integrations → MQTT Sources. Leave unset to use the first available broker.

Protocol Family:

Which BLE protocol your controller speaks. Match the phone app you normally use.

Govee AES Key (hex):

Optional. Newer Govee firmware needs a per-model AES key — leave blank for older firmware.

Zones:

Select which LED zones to control (leave all unchecked for all zones)

Child Devices:

Select devices to include in this group (order matters for sequence mode)

Connection URL:

WebSocket URL for clients to connect and receive LED data

Hardware 03

LED Count:

Number of LEDs on the strip (must match your Arduino sketch)

LED Type:

RGB (3 channels) or RGBW (4 channels with dedicated white)

Baud Rate:

Serial communication speed. Higher = more FPS but requires matching Arduino sketch.

Zone mode:

Combined treats all zones as one continuous LED strip. Separate renders each zone independently with the full effect.

Combined strip Independent zones

Group Mode:

Sequence concatenates LEDs end-to-end. Independent mirrors the full strip to each device.

DMX Protocol:

Art-Net uses UDP port 6454, sACN (E1.31) uses UDP port 5568

Start Universe:

First DMX universe (0-32767). Multiple universes are used automatically for >170 LEDs.

Start Channel:

First DMX channel within the universe (1-512)

DDP Port:

UDP port (0 = protocol default 4048).

Destination ID:

DDP destination identifier (1 = display).

Color Order:

Channel byte order on the wire. Most DDP receivers expect RGB.

Channel:

OPC channel (0 = broadcast to every channel on the server, 1-255 = specific output).

Min Update Interval:

Client-side rate limit between commands in ms. Default 500 ms keeps the bulb under its ~1 cmd/sec cap. Lower = faster updates but risk throttling.

Min Update Interval:

Client-side rate limit between commands in ms. UDP fire-and-forget tolerates fast updates; default 50 ms ≈ 20 Hz.

Min Update Interval:

Client-side rate limit between commands in ms. LIFX recommends ≤20 cmd/sec; default 50 ms matches that ceiling.

Per-zone streaming:

Address individual zones (Z/Beam multizone) or pixels (Tile/Canvas matrix) instead of one averaged colour. Auto-detected on connect; older bulbs fall back to single colour.

Min Update Interval:

Client-side rate limit between commands in ms. UDP fire-and-forget tolerates fast updates; default 50 ms ≈ 20 Hz.

Min Update Interval:

Client-side rate limit between commands in ms. Default 100 ms ≈ 10 Hz; HTTP request overhead caps the practical max around 20 Hz.

Per-panel streaming:

Stream each panel individually via extControl UDP instead of one averaged colour. Requires a recent controller firmware.

Auth token:

Paired

Send Latency (ms):

Simulated network/serial delay per frame in milliseconds

Behavior 04

Health Check Interval (s):

How often to check the device status (5-600 seconds)

Auto Restore:

Restore device to idle state when targets stop or server shuts down

Strip Processing Template:

Default processing template applied to all color strip outputs on this device
