Ready to take your WLED projects beyond the basics? This video dives into the world of adding additional components to your WLED controller to unlock new project possibilities.

I'll guide you through adding components such as push buttons, switches, PIR sensors, microphones, IR remote controls, dimmer/speed controls, and relays. I'll cover the wiring diagrams and how to configure the components in WLED... all with no code or custom compiling!

This will be based on the current production release of WLED (0.14.1 as of this recording) using an ESP32. Note that I won't be covering additional components that can be added via custom user mods or other forks of WLED. Most components (except microphones/audio reactivity) can also be used with an ESP8266.
