Create presets in WLED and assign them to S1–S4
For each button (S1, S2, S3, S4):
Set your LEDs how you want (color/effect/brightness).
Open Presets in WLED.
Tap + Preset (or “+ Preset”).
Give it a name.
In Save to ID, choose:
1 = S1
2 = S2
3 = S3
4 = S4
Tap Save.
Now pressing S1–S4 recalls those preset scenes.
How to Pair a Remote
Power on both the WLED controller and the remote.
In the App or Web UI, go to Config → Wi-Fi Setup.
Scroll to the bottom and locate the ESP-NOW Wireless section.
Tick the box for Enable ESP-NOW.
Click Save & Connect.
On the remote, press and hold any button for 1 second.
This broadcasts the remote’s MAC address to nearby devices.
Return to Wi-Fi Setup and scroll down.
Under Last Seen Device, the MAC address of the remote will appear.
Click on the detected MAC address.
It will auto-populate the text field.
If it doesn’t, enter the MAC address manually.
Click Save & Connect again to complete pairing.
Result
Once paired, the remote communicates with your WLED controller via ESP-NOW, letting you trigger presets, adjust brightness, and control effects wirelessly.
