Hi Mukesh, I was working on your ocde to add a few extra things. I am really in love with this clock -WifiManager (to create create a captive portal where you connect and set your home wifi credentials the first time, no need to have the credentials on the code) -blynk (to control the clock from a mobileapp. so far is basic control but i plan to also add controlling different FX to display from a list). Clock on is map to virtual pin 1 and off button is mapped to virtual pin 5. -I splited the code in several headers to be easier to read. i created a dedicated header for inclusions and definitions + a header to hide auth token for blynk - adding RTC control (i switched Data pin Wiring to D3 and modify codevalue from "2" to "3" to avoid re mapping I2C constructor Wire when adding the rtc. SDA=2 and SCL=1 are the defaults). I still have to add the sketch if you want to give it a go the code is hosted at "github.com/gefidalgo/Hexagonal-Led-Clock-FastLed". as mention just re-wire data pin on nodemcu to D3 and create a file called "arduino_secrets.h" containing #define SECRET_AUTH

i tested today also turning on and off the display using google home assistance + IFTTT + Blynk. you can test writing the vrtual pins usign the restful API at "blynkapi.docs.apiary.io". hope someone does also want to give it a go.

have been totally inspired by the project. Mega cool. never worked with Aduino etc.. But have ordered direct. Does the board also only via USB via the PC? Or is the current sufficient for it? Have a ESP8266Mod 12-f board. Would otherwise have to cut my USB C power cable (for Rasberry PI) because I have here only 5v and 1a. the board only lights up when transmitting. After that everything goes off. I think I am doing something wrong. PS: How do you spell "blank"? Like "wifi name".

www.amazon.in/dp/B07CSMDS76/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_C1uYFb0CJHQDR You will need this type of programmer in order to program that board. But it's better you buy a NodeMCU board : www.amazon.in/dp/B07262H53W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_s3uYFbBK69SC7 It is very easy to program just connect via micro USB and program it. I have the circuit diagram in the description of the video. Also you will need to know how to install ESP8266 library in Arduino IDE.

Interesting project! You should be carefull though, your wifi password is visible in the arduino code. You should probably use a header file that you don't show on video to prevent people from using your network, like shown here: arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/40411/hiding-wlan-password-when-pushing-to-github
