Python: WLED API Client
Asynchronous Python client for WLED.
About
This package allows you to control and monitor a WLED device programmatically. It is mainly created to allow third-party programs to automate the behavior of WLED.
Installation
pip install wled
Usage
import asyncio
from wled import WLED
async def main() -> None:
"""Show example of controlling your WLED device."""
async with WLED("wled-frenck.local") as led:
device = await led.update()
print(device.info.version)
# Turn strip on, full brightness
await led.master(on=True, brightness=255)
if __name__ == "__main__":
asyncio.run(main())

Setting up development environment
The easiest way to start is by opening a CodeSpace here on GitHub, or by using the Dev Container feature of Visual Studio Code.
This Python project is fully managed using the Poetry dependency manager but also relies on the use of Node.js for certain checks during development.
You need at least:
- Python 3.11+
- Poetry
- Node.js 24+ (including NPM)
To install all packages, including all development requirements:
npm install
poetry install --all-extras
As this repository uses the prek framework, all changes are linted and tested with each commit. You can run all checks and tests manually, using the following command:
poetry run prek run --all-files
To run just the Python tests:
poetry run pytest
