* Install plugin for ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload [https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin](https://github.com/esp8266/arduino-esp8266fs-plugin)
* Install [Adafruit_NeoPixel](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel), [Espalexa](https://github.com/Aircoookie/Espalexa), [WebSockets](https://github.com/Links2004/arduinoWebSockets), [WifiManager](https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager) and [WS2812FX](https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX) Libraries
## Upload the pre-compiled binary ##
Download the latest release version [**WiLED.ino.nodemcu.bin**](https://github.com/reger-men/WiLED/releases) and use [ESPTool](https://github.com/espressif/esptool) or [ESPFlashDownloadTool](https://www.espressif.com/en/support/download/other-tools) to upload the binary to ESP8266.
## Features ##
User ...
* ... doesn't need to install any app to controlle the LED strip
* ... can controlle the LED strip via Webinterface or via Alexa
* ... Alexa can detect this skill as multiple devices, you may include the number of devices by increase this line ```#define ESPALEXA_MAXDEVICES 15``` in ```definitions.h```
* ... to invoke custom Skills, use:
* ``` Alexa turn light on```
* ``` Alexa turn light 1 on```
* ``` Alexa turn light off```
* ... can upload new file from within a Web browser without having to connect to the ESP8266 over USB
* ``` http://esp8266.local/update```
* ... may load the firmware to ESP module using Wi-Fi connection **OTA (Over the Air)**
## Adaption ##
To controle SMD or WS28xx LED strips you need to set ``` #define SMD_STRIP 1 ``` or ``` #define WS28_STRIP 1 ``` in ```definitions.h```
Make sure that you set only one to ``` 1``` and the other one to ``` 0```
If you don't want to use Alexa set ``` #define USE_ALEXA 0 ```
