Programming for Home Assistant For the new modules Home Assistant is especially easy to use! Currently this website does not have a guide on how to setup Home Assistant, enough of those out there. To get the new QuinLED modules to work with Home Assistant you need a working install together with MQTT installed and […]
QuinLED Different Models This time around QuinLED isn’t just a single module like the QuinLED-OG but a sort of family of modules. Currently I’m planning two analog dimming versions (simple LED strip) and 2 digital versions (for per pixel LED strips). There might be more models to come in the future! To see the current […]
A new start, first some history! The QuinLED project originally started at the end of 2015. I was toying with building a house and since I’ve always been interested in lighting I wanted this house to be fully LED lit! But, I also wanted dimming for each of these lights, no matter what light it […]
The first QuinLED As I talked about in the “QuinLED why and about (The history)” article it all started with the original QuinLED module. This module has been available for several years now and the last verson (v2.6) has been working quite well for myself (and people on the internet). I might do a revised […]
QuinLED-Deca QuinLED-Deca is a 10 Channel WiFi connected PWM LED dimmer. This main design goal for this board board was a lot of channels with a decent power handling. This board also accepts up to 50v input and output voltage making it suitable for a wide range of LED lights (from strips to COB modules). […]
Boards in the QuinSense subclass Current development timeframe is unknown Both the QuinLED-Quad and QuinLED-Deca have GPIO and voltage pins broken out and can be used for sensors and other devices! QuinSense is all about making boards to hook up sensors or switches such as wall switches, motion sensors, temperature sensors, etc. The main focus […]
A new version, why? Let me start by saying that there isn’t anything wrong with the Original version of QuinLED, which, from here on I’ll call QuinLED-OG. The reason for a new version is purely driven out of the desire for enhanced features. There are even still reasons to choose the QuinLED-OG version over the […]
Designed as a DIY project Ever since designing the first QuinLED-OG module I’ve had the mentality that I need to have fun building it. Because, if I can do it and have fun while doing so, so can other people! Over the years my skills have improved and I could have gone with a fully […]
Video How to dim an LED Dimming in the past was often done by lowering voltage to the light source by which the light source would decrease in output. This works well using traditional light bulbs but does not function with LEDs. Although decreasing voltage can alter the light output levels of an LED it […]
Boards in the Digital controller subclass Digital LEDs most often come in strip form on which each LED can be set to an independant value from the other LEDs, these strips come in several different forms and configurations although most of them use 5v as their voltage. Digital LEDs can use a variety of chips, […]
