**1.** Connect a WS2812B-compatible RGB(W) led strip to `GPIO2`. On most ESP8266 based development boards, this pin is labeled `D4`; on ESP32 based boards, use `IO16` or `G16` or `16`. _If the connecting wire cannot be kept short, use a [level shifter/translator](/basics/compatible-hardware#levelshifters)._ Optionally, connect a normally open pushbutton to `GPIO0` (NodeMCU/Wemos pin `D3`, on ESP32 use `IO17`) and ground for [configurable actions](/features/macros).

**Note:** Board pin naming varies depending on the manufacturer. Please use the board pinout from the _specific_ board you purchased and use the GPIO pins to reference this guide. _Make sure to connect ESP and LED-strip grounds together!_
