What kind of light it is

An Ice Light knows what it is, so it skips this. A stripe, crystal, cube or panel runs one firmware made for all of them, and the first time it starts it asks what it is:

1. Switch the light on and connect to its own network, as in Connecting a lamp to your Wi-Fi. It is called Trip-Light- and four characters, like Trip-Light-7D3F.
2. The page asks What kind of light is this? Pick it: Stripe, Crystal, Cube 4×4, Cube 5×5, Cube 8×8 or Panel. If the light was set up before - with WLED, for example - the page marks the kind it found from that; tap it to confirm, or pick what the light really is.
3. Check its LEDs: how many there are and the pin they are on. A cube's number follows from its size. A stripe of several runs, each on a pin of its own, gets Add an output for every run after the first. For a crystal, tick Crystal and base on two separate data pins if they are wired that way. For a panel light, give the size of Each panel - LEDs across and down - and how many Panels there are, across and down. More has the colour order and the limit of the power supply.
4. Choose This is my light. Each part lights up in its own colour for a moment, so you can see where it is. Then the page goes on to Set up Wi-Fi, as for every lamp.

The light is now named after its kind - Crystal-7D3F, Cube-7D3F and so on - unless you gave it a name of your own. Its own network takes the new name from its next start.

A light that is already on your Wi-Fi asks the same on its settings page, under Light and segments. Everything chosen here can be changed there later - and on a cube or a panel light, that is where you check next where each panel is. See Light setup.
