01 / Build record
Make the control boundary explicit.
This log is a working record for a room, fixture or small-batch direction. Start with the physical light, name the controller or driver, then keep the power, wiring and recovery path visible.
A solution label is not a universal works-with-everything promise. The useful unit is the selected light engine, voltage, controller, firmware or gateway, and installation boundary taken together.
Build sequence
- Choose voltage and light type before choosing firmware or a gateway.
- Record the controller, firmware and integration path as one configuration.
- Size power, cable, protection and service access before ordering the full run.
- Run a sample through control, restart, pairing and recovery checks.
What this page deliberately does not promise
Matter basics, Tuya cloud mapping, WLED effects and ESPHome entities expose different capabilities. Use the compatibility record for the exact product, variant and status.
Each recommendation below is a product record. Treat planned routes as configuration candidates until the exact driver, controller and firmware are tested; documented routes retain their stated scope.
