Control WS2812B and many more types of digital RGB LEDs with an ESP8266 or ESP32 over WiFi!

Welcome to my project WLED! ✨

A fast and feature-rich implementation of an ESP8266/ESP32 webserver to control NeoPixel (WS2812B, WS2811, SK6812) LEDs or also SPI based chipsets like the WS2801 and APA102!

⚙️ Features

• WS2812FX library with more than 100 special effects
• FastLED noise effects and 50 palettes
• Modern UI with color, effect and segment controls
• Segments to set different effects and colors to user defined parts of the LED string
• Settings page - configuration via the network
• Access Point and station mode - automatic failsafe AP
• Up to 10 LED outputs per instance
• Support for RGBW strips
• Up to 250 user presets to save and load colors/effects easily, supports cycling through them.
• Presets can be used to automatically execute API calls
• Nightlight function (gradually dims down)
• Full OTA software updatability (HTTP + ArduinoOTA), password protectable
• Configurable analog clock (Cronixie, 7-segment and EleksTube IPS clock support via usermods)
• Configurable Auto Brightness limit for safe operation
• Filesystem-based config for easier backup of presets and settings

💡 Supported light control interfaces

• WLED app for Android and iOS
• JSON and HTTP request APIs
• MQTT
• Blynk IoT
• E1.31, Art-Net, DDP and TPM2.net
• diyHue (Wled is supported by diyHue, including Hue Sync Entertainment under udp. Thanks to Gregory Mallios)
• Hyperion
• UDP realtime
• Alexa voice control (including dimming and color)
• Sync to Philips hue lights
• Adalight (PC ambilight via serial) and TPM2
• Sync color of multiple WLED devices (UDP notifier)
• Infrared remotes (24-key RGB, receiver required)
• Simple timers/schedules (time from NTP, timezones/DST supported)
