Research direction
Start by reading the linked communication-protocol article and WS2812B datasheet to compare the stated timings with the existing ESP32 RMT LED-strip component. Locate the current WS2812 implementation and its tests or validation path. Done means WS2812B strips are supported with the required timings without regressing WS2812 support.
