wled
Asynchronous Python client for WLED.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes. The package is actively maintained, carries no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and provides a clean async API for a well-defined task. Install it if you need to control WLED devices from Python; skip it if you have no WLED hardware or prefer synchronous code.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.11 or later; the WLED device must be reachable on the network.
- Low friction install with a pure-Python wheel distribution.
- The package is actively maintained with recent releases and carries no known vulnerabilities.

What it is and what it does
wled is an asynchronous Python client for controlling WLED devices—programmable LED strips that expose a network API. It wraps HTTP communication with aiohttp and handles serialization via mastering and orjson, allowing you to query device state, adjust brightness and color, toggle effects, and manage segments from Python code. The library is designed for integration into home automation systems and third-party applications that need to automate LED behavior without blocking the event loop.
The package targets modern Python (3.11–3.14) and is actively maintained with a permissive MIT license. It depends on standard async ecosystem libraries (aiohttp, yarl, awesomeversion, python-backoff, mashumaro) and installs as a pure wheel with no compiled dependencies, making it straightforward to add to existing projects.
Use it for
- Integrate WLED strips into a Home Assistant automation or custom home automation system.
- Build a Python script to synchronize LED colors with music, time of day, or external events.
- Monitor and control multiple WLED devices programmatically from a central application.
- Automate LED brightness and effects based on sensor input or scheduled tasks.
- Develop a web dashboard or CLI tool that communicates with WLED devices over the network.
