Today we are going to control our RGB LEDs using the kme app, you can use both esp32 and esp8266 I'm using the esp32

Open a web browser and search for kme Smart go to their website click on installation scroll down and download the files for Windows, there's also a version for Mac. once it downloads extract the folder then open the KME config file inside you'll see KME config launch the application.

This is the RGB strip I'm using connect a 10 kiloohm resistor to pin 18 where we connect the signal pin of the RGB strip. Then the RGB strip requires 12 volts so we connect it to the 12 volt rail, we need to Common the RGB's ground to the ESP's GND for smooth signal transmission and we connect the external 12vs to the RGB Rail.

NOTE: check voltage requirements of your led strip.

Open the kme config file and launch kme config.

Then in the top right corner select the drop- down menu and choose port, click connect and click upload firmware and it will automatically detect the ESP board and upload the firmware.

Once done click the plus icon in the top right corner select RGB and you can change its name if desired click on choose an output pin in our case pin 18, and hit upload in a few seconds it will upload to the board .

once uploaded, press and hold the boot Button for 2 seconds to put the device into Smart Connect mode.
