Hello guys, i need some help to control a pair of classic drl i installed in my car headlights and a pair of angel eyes in the fog lights (for who doesn't know they are basically led strips).
I need the lights to turn on when door open/close but turn off after 30sec delay, then to stay on if car accessory are on (and start timer again when off) and respectively turn off drl or angel eyes if headlight or foglights are on.
For the delay i have "kkmoon delay timer" which does exactly what i need, starting a timer when there is no trigger.
I made this basic schematic of how i expect to wire everything but need some advice.
As you can see the leds positive wires are connected directly on the car battery with a 10A fuse so i want to control the negative wire also because i brought the wires in the car where i have constant 12V (red wire) from the car stereo so i don't want to put the load on that, the ground is also from the car stereo but i don't think that's a problem.
Also i need help with feeding the 3 signals in the delay timer as i expect doors could lock/unlock while ACC are on and don't want to cause a short circuit or backfeed.
Could you help me with that and telling if the wiring is correct? Thank you!
