+### WS2811 vs WS2812
+
+The [WS2811](https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/WS2811.pdf) is a LED driver IC which is connected to an RGB LED. It accepts data in the form of 8 bits each of Red-Green-Blue.
+
+The [WS2812](https://cdn-shop.adafruit.com/datasheets/WS2812.pdf) is integrated into the package of a 50:50 LED rather than as a separate device.. It accepts data in the form of 8 bits each of Green-Red-Blue.
+
+It is thus possible, depending on the LED board/strip being used that either Red-Green-Blue or Green-Red-Blue encoding may be required. This may be controlled by setting the following.
+
+```
+set ledstrip_grb_rgb = RGB
+```
+or
+
+```
+set ledstrip_grb_rgb = GRB
+```
+
+The confirm the required setting simply set an LED to be green. If it lights up red, you have the wrong setting.

 WS2812 LED strips generally require a single data line, 5V and GND.
