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

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
