Great, thanks btidey!

I wasnt the best in my electronics class. Can you confirm a safely working build with 40 m(milli ?) Ohm Resistors and the IRLZ44N MOSFETs ?
Im not sure what I should look for.

Greetings

No extra resistors are needed.

The problem is in the brightness changing, it simply mess up the colors. Seems to have something wrong with the hex conversion for brightness. Is there someone else who is having this kind of problem? I'm trying my best to break through that but can't find the exact causes.

I'm using the latest version of everything. iOS 12.1.2, homebridge 0.4.45, and homebridge-better-http-rgb 2.0.0.

Hey I've just discovered the solution. \o/

I've created two servers, one of them is older than other. The newer was working as expected. So I discovered that on update 2.0.0 of the homebridge-better-http-rgb plugin, apart from the new service thing addition, the example for the config.json file received a new line in the color block for a Full RGB Device:

Code: Select all"brightness": true

The example for the config.json file here on this tutorial is now for a light without brightness. Without this simple line the code from ESP goes crazy after changing the brightness
