The Gledopto WLED 12-Key Remote Control (GL-RC-002WL) is a 12-button wireless remote compatible with ESP-NOW-enabled WLED controllers. The GL-RC-002WL operates on two AAA batteries with a 3 V supply voltage. The standby current consumption is less than 13 µA, while the wireless communication range is up to 50 meters under suitable conditions. The remote automatically enters sleep mode after approximately 2 seconds of inactivity.
Communication is based on the ESP-NOW protocol, which provides direct wireless communication between ESP32-based devices. No Wi-Fi router, Internet connection, mobile application, or cloud service is required for operation, but the controlled WLED device must support ESP-NOW communication.
The remote is compatible with WLED controllers running WLED firmware version 0.14.0-beta3 or later with ESP-NOW support. It is compatible with ESP-NOW-enabled Gledopto WLED controllers, including the GL-C-615WL, GL-C-616WL, GL-C-618WL, and other supported WLED controllers.
