Welcome to my project WLED! ✨

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

⚙️ Features

• WS2812FX library integrated for over 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 parts of the LEDs
• Settings page - configuration over network
• Access Point and station mode - automatic failsafe AP
• Support for RGBW strips
• 16 user presets to save and load colors/effects easily, supports cycling through them.
• Macro functions to automatically execute API calls
• Nightlight function (gradually dims down)
• Full OTA software updatability (HTTP + ArduinoOTA), password protectable
• Configurable analog clock + support for the Cronixie kit by Diamex
• Configurable Auto Brightness limit for safer operation

💡 Supported light control interfaces

• WLED app for Android and iOS
• JSON and HTTP request APIs
• MQTT
• Blynk IoT
• E1.31
• Hyperion
• UDP realtime
• Alexa voice control (including dimming and color)
• Sync to Philips hue lights
• Adalight (PC ambilight via serial)
• Sync color of multiple WLED devices (UDP notifier)
• Infrared remotes (24-key RGB, receiver required)
• Simple timers/schedules (time from NTP, timezones/DST supported)
