Thank you kindly for the link (FYI, I've come across WLED in some demonstrations on YouTube) but I'm not sure how it improves things in my use-case? I have two 8266s sitting waiting 24/7/365 for PIR triggers to then light up strings of LEDs for a (reset-able) length of time. That's it. This is achieved via (relatively simple) Arduino code using FastLED. It's not entirely clear from the webpage, but it looks like WLED is partly a dashboard and partly a no-code environment to allow controlling LEDs, and setting them up from another device? Incorporating motion detection looks[0] quite[1] complex? [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/WLED/comments/10arolp/motion_detection/ https://www.reddit.com/r/WLED/comments/10arolp/motion_detect...
