OK, I need some gentle help. Boosts welcome.

I am totally new to the idea of WLED, but have a reasonable amount of comfort with Home Assistant.

I would like to have LED strips in my workspace that I can turn on while filming. I want to be able to set the colors in Home Assistant. I enjoy soldering as a relaxing exercise, and can probably flash firmware, but coding drivers from scratch is not currently in my bag of tricks.

What options do I have for something customizable here?

EDIT: to clarify, I'm looking for LED strips that work with Home Assistant, and ideally let me set the colors. Please forgive me if WLED doesn't make sense to mention, I am not experienced in this hardware.

@veronica LED strips (where you can control down to the level of individual LEDs, or as one big lump, or anywhere inbetween) all use one of a few popular standards. You solder/stick/clip them to one end USB-C to the other, with a magic box inbetween. This will run WLED, and HA will find it and it'll do what you want.

I'm in the UK, so use these locally made ones : lectronz.com/products/tiny-sou
