As usual, not enough hours in the day.

This morning I got up early, to do the normal daily morning activity with our new dog.

Early in the morning found that there was an interesting vulnerability, so during work I patched my systems. During the patch I found one of my repositories was not getting updated.

That broke ffmpeg which I needed to figure out. Also broken was zoneminder, apparently it changed some things and I had to update and change permissions on the view only user.

Mind you on top of all this is my regular work, and meetings.

After work I was already exhausted but wife needed something done on her car, some cleaning and after work dog duty. Set up a doggie cam as well.

I did get to work a bit on my WLED project. I wired up the new power supply.

This is the official indoor unit.

Also this is for my future self

When wiring up the lights using an extension, the dashed wire is positive, the middle wire is signal and the other non dash side is ground.

And these are my WLED settings for the LED.

Been working on my outdoor WLED lights project and I got the electronics figured out. It actually lights up.

Here is the wiring I did, with a GLEDOPTO Elite 4 Channel ESP32. It is honestly overkill and I may get another.

I am getting a different power supply. But all this will be indoors and an extension will go outside to the lights. It will be ip67 compliant.

BUT

Now I need to figure out how to attach the lights to the outside. I thought I was 90% there but apparently, I am like 10% there.

Made huge use of my ferule cimper.

On a side note Seahawks lost a close one.

Starting my LED for the Outdoor project. First one was the solar powered railing lights.

Hard to take picture but I tried, here is another

Going to spend some time tomorrow on the WLED portion of the lights.

If it is not wet and I have help I will hook them up.

In addition to the deck lights, I did set up nut on with a new UPS. I think the weird power at home been hurting my older UPS, either that or it is junk.
