I remove the existing Microcontroller from an LED Projector Light and replicate its function(s) with an ESPHome programmed (ESP8266) D1 Mini.
Using the on-board MOSFET's I show you how easy it is to add this light to Home Assistant for Automation, Voice control (See my other Alexa tutorials) and other Smart Home functions.
