⚙️ How It Works
- Connect your pixel strip's Data wire to any of the 8 data outputs and its GND wire to the common GND terminal. Connect 5V power to the input terminals.
- Power on and connect your phone to the WiFi network KOSHI_WLED (password koshi1234). The control page opens automatically (or open http://4.3.2.1).
- All 8 outputs come pre-configured with 50 LEDs each — just update the LED count and IC type to match your strips in Config → LED Preferences.
- Enjoy 180+ effects, colours, presets and playlists — all from your phone. Short-press the onboard button for quick ON/OFF.
- (Recommended) Connect WLED to your home WiFi (Config → WiFi Setup) for Alexa/Google voice control and OTA updates — and change the default passwords from Config → Security & Updates.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the WiFi name and password?
The board creates its own WiFi network KOSHI_WLED with password koshi1234. For firmware (OTA) updates, the default password is koshiota. You can change both anytime from Config → Security & Updates — recommended after first setup.
Do I need to install an app?
No — everything runs in your phone browser. The official WLED app is optional.
LITE ya PRO — which one should I buy?
If your setup is 5V pixels (thoran, home decor) — LITE is perfect. If you need 12V/24V strips, built-in music reactive mic, relay-based SMPS auto on/off, SD card, IR remote or sensors — go for the PRO. Baaki options se comparison ke liye: Best WLED Controller in India →
Does it have a proper level shifter?
Yes — a 74AHCT245 level shifter gives true 5V logic on all 8 outputs for flicker-free, stable data. This is the #1 thing cheap imported boards skip.
Why 8 outputs?
Splitting your pixels across outputs means shorter data runs, higher frame rates and easier zone-wise control (segments per output).
How do I connect my strip's GND?
All strips share the board's common GND terminal — connect each strip's GND wire there (or to your power supply's GND, since they're the same ground). Simple and tidy.
Can I run 12V strips on the LITE?
No — the LITE is a 5V-only board. For 12V/24V strips, the WLED PRO accepts 5–24V input.
How do I update the software?
Over WiFi (OTA) — no USB cable needed, ever. Use the OTA password (default: koshiota) from Config → Security & Updates.
Alexa, automatic timers, music sync kaise use karein?
