From the project

WiFi and Bluetooth capable rotary encoder with 20 adressable LEDs

This "SmartEncoder" uses 20 adressable LEDs (SK6805-EC15 or potentially XL-1615RGBC-WS2812B) to visualize the set point of the encoder. The SmartEncoder boasts WiFi and Bluetooth capability using the ESP32, which makes it viable for Smart Home and PC control applications. It should be noted that stock Windows does not normally have the capability to send the current volume level over BT, which is why a PC side software to take care of that will be uploaded in the future for use as a BT PC volume knob.
