Extended configuration
General
The extended configuration of the FLS-M is carried out by setting the pins on the DIP switch (2) and by loading a configuration file via USB (5).
- Different LED types can be connected to the FLS-M. The additional setting on the DIP switch is necessary so that the LED channels can be assigned correctly in the Matter App. Additional configurations can only be enabled with the Config-Builder.
Any change to the DIP switch will only take effect after the power supply has been disconnected.
Radio protocol
The FLS-M supports both Matter over WiFi and Zigbee 3.0. The radio protocol used is determined via the DIP switch position 1.
| DIP | Radio protocol | LED type | Endpoints | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Matter WiFi | RGBW | 1 | Factory setting |
 |
Zigbee | RGBW | 1 |
LEDs
The FLS-M can work with both classic LED strips and individually addressable LEDs.
Classic LED strips
- common anode
- constant voltage DC 5V, DC 12V, DC 24V
- dimmable via PWM
- RGB (red, green, blue)
- RGBW (red, green, blue, white)
- RGB+CCT (red, green, blue, warm white, cold white)
- single-color LED strip
- CCT (warm white, cold white)

Matter WiFi | RGBW | 1 | Factory new |
 |
Matter WiFi | RGB | 1 | |
 |
Matter WiFi | RGB + CCT | 1 | |
 |
Matter WiFi | Single | 1 | |
 |
Matter WiFi | Single | 5 | Each strip can be controlled separately |
 |
Matter WiFi | RGB + CCT | 2 | RGB and CCT can be controlled separately |

Individually addressable LED strips
- LEDs with LED controller such as WS2811, WS2812, WS2812B, WS2813, WS2814, WS2815, TM1814, SK6812
- constant voltage DC 5V, DC 12V, DC 24V
- Controllable via data line
- RGB (red, green, blue)
- RGBW (red, green, blue, white)
- up to 1024 individually controllable LEDs possible
| DIP | Radio protocol | LED-Typ | Endpoints | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
Matter WiFi | RGB addressable | 1 | 1024x LEDs |
In certain combinations, both classic and individually addressable LED strips can be used at the same time. These can only be created with the Config-Builder.
Currently, only static control of individually addressable LEDs is possible. No effects are supported yet.
USB interface
The FLS-M can be configured via the USB-C interface and programmed with new software.
- Disconnect the FLS-M from the external power supply unit or switch off the power supply unit
- Connect the FLS-M to the PC/laptop via USB-C
- Open external program and search for connected FLS-M
- Activate connection
- Select and update new firmware
- Load new config file from the Config-Builder
The Web Serial API protocol required for programming is only supported by Chrome, Edge, and Opera. An overview of supported browsers is listed here: https://developer.mozilla.org
When using the USB-C, the FLS-M must be disconnected from the external power supply unit or the power supply unit must be switched off.
If the FLS-M is connected via USB-C, only the microcontroller is supplied with power. The LED driver is not controlled. No LEDs can be switched on.
Color matching
When LED strips from different manufacturers are used at the same time, differences in the perceived result often occur when setting the same color or color temperature.
The FLS-M allows you to specify the characteristics of the LED light source used. This is taken into account in the color mixing algorithm and enables a much more precise color representation of the desired colors.
- The individual color values for red, green, blue and white are specified in the XY color space
- The brightness is shown as intensity
- The configuration is done in the Config-Builder
When manually matching without tools or measuring devices, the reference light or LED strip must be placed next to the LED strip to be adjusted.
We recommend placing the strips so that you only see the light emitted, e.g. on a white wall, and do not look directly into the LED.
Practical examples
Each RGB LED consists of sub-LEDs in the colors red, green and blue. The relative brightness of the respective sub-LEDs is specified as intensity. If a sub-LED is darker than the others, it must have an intensity of less than 1.
- If the color yellow is shifted to green, the intensity of the red LED must be lowered, as the mixing algorithm assumes equally bright red and green sub-LEDs
- If the color pink is shifted too far to red, the intensity of the blue LED must be lowered, as the mixing algorithm assumes equally bright red and blue sub-LEDs
- If the color cyan is shifted too far to blue, the intensity of the green LED must be lowered, as the mixing algorithm assumes equally bright blue and green sub-LEDs
