H801 RGBW LED controller
========================
The H801 is pretty afordable and easy to hack and adapt to your needs. It can be found on `Aliexpress <https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bbnUDBZW>`__
`Here <http://tinkerman.cat/closer-look-h801-led-wifi-controller/>`__ is an article about the hardware for those who have an interest for more details about the board.
It can be used as a RGB, RGBW, RGB dual white or even control 5 individual monochromatic strips if you want or combinations of these.

For ESPHome, you can then use the :doc:`RGBW </components/light/rgbw>`
and the :doc:`ESP8266 Software PWM output </components/output/esp8266_pwm>` components using below configuration:
.. code-block:: yaml

Make your node in the esphome dashboard and compile/upload it.
(if it fails OTA it must be uploaded manually with your favorite ESP flasher,
e.g. :ref:`esphome-flasher <esphome-flasher>`)

This LED strip can be used with the sketch as-is
.. figure:: images/rgbw.jpg

For this type of led strip you have to swap the white and blue gpio numbers in the sketch
You will need to solder pins to the board inside the h801 (fortunately its pretty roomy and not a lot of components or stuff in the way part from the 2 wires on the back)
3.3v, GND, TX and RX (RX to RX and TX to TX) needs to be connected to your serial adapter, the two other pins must be shorted by a jumper or a breadboard cable when flashing.
(Remember to remove it after flashing)
