    Thank you. A: You can really call individual Segments or Presets, as Presets are made of Segments. What you can do is format the rest_command "Data" that includes everything within a preset. Then send that to WLED. You can get this (JSON Formatted) data by looking inside one of your saved WLED presets.

    Yes it will, as the "segment name" (which is where the text goes) is saved within WLED. However, for WLED to return to that on power-up, you need to set that in config > LED preferences, then scroll down to "Apply preset [xx] at boot".

I have 2 8x32 and I’ve set them up stacked and it’s running as a 16x32. Now I can create segments and have the top do whatever and the bottom, for example, show the time. In home assistant, how do I direct it to send the info to either ID 1 or ID 2 (segment 1 or 2). So I can have text alerts sent to the top and have the static time on the bottom. Sorry if I don’t make total sense, hope you understand though what I’m getting at. At 12:20 you sorta say other segments.

Start by setting Settings > LED Prefernces > Length to one, which will tell you where first pixel is. As you progressively increase the Length setting it will light up more leds and the path that it takes will reveal whether it's horizontal or vertical, and whether it's zig-zag or serpentine.
