Pre-release

Welcome to WLED 0.14.0-b3 "Hoshi"!

⚠️ There is currently a safety issue in 0.14.0-b3 (and recent nightlies) causing the software auto brightness limiter to not apply correctly (#3264)
I highly recommend rolling-back to b1 on setups that require the ABL to not exceed PSU/wiring current limits.
A new beta will be released soon after the issue is fixed.

If you saw a shooting star, what would you wish for?

This version's highlights are (in addition to 2D support and more already present in b1)

  • Various new 2D effects (Soap / Octopus / Waving cell)
  • Segment sets
  • Improved ESP32 variant (S2/C3/S3) support
  • Half a years worth of improvements and fixes!

Please see the changelog for a detailed list of changes!

Why doesn't Blynk work?

The servers for the legacy Blynk app are shutting down in a week. Therefore it is no longer included in the default build.

Update Notice

The new default ESP32 partition layout (1MB FS) is incompatible with the filesystem partition of the previous layout (1.5MB FS).
Please note that config and presets will be wiped upon updating an ESP32 from 0.13.0-b4 or earlier to 0.13.3 via USB or the web installer.
ESP32 OTA updates and all ESP8266 update methods are unaffected , your data will be kept when doing a wireless update.

Why doesn't Blynk work?

New signups for the legacy Blynk app are closed and not a lot of you are using it.
My benchmarks have shown that on the Ethernet build for ESP32, with huge LED counts, the framerate is improved when it is not compiled in.
If you need it, don't worry, as you can still compile it in!

Why does my OTA update fail?

With WLED 0.13.0-b5, we have moved to a new flash layout with 1.5MB space for the program instead of 1MB.
For the first time, in this release the program size for the ESP32 Ethernet build exceeds the available space on the old layout.
I provide a different binary small enough for OTA updating using the old layout, however this is missing the following features:
ESP32-ETH: Blynk, Cronixie, Hue sync

Please consider switching to the new layout to use these features and to ensure you can OTA update to future releases.
The process is as follows:

  • Update to WLED_0.13.0-b7_ESP32_Ethernet_OTA.bin
  • Go to Security & Updates settings and backup your Configuration and Presets files
  • Use https://install.wled.me to install the full binary.
    NOTE that this will erase all data if the previous version is older than 0.13.0-b5 OR is still using the old 1.5MB layout.
  • Connect your board to WiFi, restore your Configuration and Presets in Security & Updates settings and reboot.
