Quick start

Allow Local Network when prompted. Add your WLED IP from Config → WiFi, or tap a device found on the network. Use Demo Mode to explore the UI without hardware.

FAQ

Why does the app ask for Local Network?

WLED devices speak HTTP on your Wi‑Fi. Local Network access is required to discover devices via Bonjour (_wled._tcp) and control them. Nothing is uploaded to our servers — the app has none.

I can’t find my device

Confirm the phone/iPad and WLED are on the same Wi‑Fi (not guest/isolated). Open the WLED IP in Safari. If Safari works, add that IP manually in the app. VPN or private relay can block LAN discovery.

What is Demo Mode?

Demo Mode simulates a light on-device so you can explore Colors, Effects, Segments, Presets, and Settings without hardware. It is also provided for App Review.

Is this the official WLED app?

No. WLED Controller is an unofficial companion. WLED firmware: github.com/wled/WLED.

Do you collect my data?

The App does not include ads or analytics SDKs. Saved device names and IPs stay on your device. See the Privacy Policy.
