Controlling RGBW LEDs with ESP32 over network

After finally getting the grabber working with my setup, I now would like to make use of my RGBW LEDs (only RGB is actually being used).

My setup is an ESP32 ethernet board (wt32-eth01) and Hyperion running as a service on my streaming box (CoreELEC). On the ESP32 is WLED.

All this works now, but so far it doesn't make use of the white color from my LED strip.

As far as I figured out, it only works if the LEDs are directly connected to the device running Hyperion or with a direct connection over USB for example to the ESP. But that's something I'd really like to avoid and keep these parts separate and stream over network (latency is no issue at all, everything is wired with ethernet and actually my LEDs are faster than the image on screen).

Is there a way to let Hyperion also control the white channel?

I have no problem with putting something else on the ESP chip.

There's no option to enable RGBW.

It is and I'm able to control the white channel in WLED directly. But I don't see anything related in Hyperion.

Sorry for not mentioning that.

Edit: Just saw the auto calculate setting and that you use it. So I actually just have to let WLED handle that and not Hyperion?
