Home Automation systems

It is possible to interface WLED with home automation systems and other 3rd party software. You can use any API WLED provides (JSON, HTTP, UDP, MQTT), JSON is preferred. This page is intended for sample code and configs others use to control WLED from various 3rd party software:

HomeAssistant and NodeRED flows

Domoticz:

Please see https://github.com/frustreermeneer/domoticz-wled-plugin !

Openhab:

The connection is made via MQTT broker & Openhab MQTT Binding (2.5x)

Please find the details in https://community.openhab.org/t/wled-control-without-the-binding/101120

and Config Files on https://github.com/sujitrp/OPenHab-WLED-configuration-

Indigo Domotics:

Home Assistant

Using native integration:

WLED can be configured using the integrations in the Home Assistant frontend.

Menu: Configuration -> Integrations.

In most cases, the WLED devices will be automatically discovered by Home Assistant. Those automatically discovered WLED devices are listed on the integrations page.

If for some reason (e.g., due to lack of mDNS support on your network), the WLED device isn't discovered, it can be added manually.

Click on the + sign to add an integration and click on WLED. After completing the configuration flow, the WLED integration will be available.

Using MQTT

Alternatively, MQTT can be used (not recommended). Auto discovery is no longer supported since version 0.9 of WLED. In case you want to configure the device manually:

light:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Kitchen Floor Lights"
    command_topic: "wled/all"
    brightness_command_topic: "wled/all"
    rgb_command_topic: "wled/all/col"
    rgb_command_template: "{{ '#%02x%02x%02x' | format(red, green, blue)}}"
    effect_command_topic : "wled/all/api"
    effect_list:
    - "FX=0"
    - "FX=1"
    - "FX=2"
    - "FX=3"
    - "FX=4"
    - "FX=5"
    - "FX=6"
    - "FX=7"
    - "FX=8"
    - "FX=9"
    - "FX=10"
    - "FX=11"
    - "FX=12"
    - "FX=13"
    - "FX=14"

    - "FX=25"
    - "FX=26"
    - "FX=27"
    - "FX=28"
    - "FX=29"
    - "FX=30"
    - "FX=31"
    - "FX=32"

    - "FX=36"
    - "FX=37"
    - "FX=38"
    - "FX=39"
    - "FX=40"
