WLED restarts every 60s with Fritz!Box?#

Unfortunately, there currently is a problem with the stable version of WLED together with the Fritz!Box since Fritz!OS version 7.50. There is already a longer issue on GitHub: https://github.com/wled/WLED/issues/2932.

The error is related to the older version of the Espressif IDF V3. Since WLED version 0.15.1, you can use a specially compiled firmware (WLED_x.x.x_ESP32_V4.bin) based on Espressif IDF V4 for the update, which resolves the issue.

The firmware compiled against IDF V4 is an official build target of the regular WLED release since 0.15.1 and can be found under "assets" in the releases on GitHub. For example: https://github.com/wled/WLED/releases/tag/v0.15.1.

Nothing works after factory reset!#

Please check LED Preferences whether the GPIO setting for the connected LED strips is still correct. For V0.8/V0.10, for example, the connections 16/18 are used at the screw terminals. See WLED Controller Versions and the corresponding Instructions.
