Feature Status

🚧 This feature is under development and not yet integrated into the Firefly T1 system. This page is a placeholder. Watch official channels for updates.

What Is WLED​

WLED is a hugely popular open-source LED control firmware (runs on ESP32 / ESP8266 and similar chips). Widely adopted by the global DIY community, it's the de-facto standard tool for addressable LEDs. Highlights:

  • 200+ built-in animation effects — classic animations, audio-reactive effects, 2D matrix effects, and more
  • Segmented control — split a single LED strip into independently colored segments, each with its own effect
  • Presets & playlists — one-click scene switching with schedules and triggers
  • Web UI + mobile app — adjust colors and switch effects directly from your browser or phone, no coding required
  • Multi-protocol support — native E1.31 (sACN), Art-Net, DDP, MQTT, and Home Assistant integration
  • Huge community — rich ecosystem of custom usermods, tutorials, and third-party controllers

What You'll Get With Firefly T1 + WLED​

Once integrated, you'll be able to use the full WLED ecosystem on your Firefly T1, such as:

  • Real-time color adjustment and effect switching via WLED's web UI or mobile app
  • Smart home integration (Home Assistant, Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and more)
  • Acting as an E1.31/Art-Net pixel node driven by professional lighting software (xLights, Jinx!, Vixen, etc.)
  • Advanced modes like audio-reactive effects, preset playlists, and segment layering

Current Workaround​

  1. Wait for the official Firefly T1 firmware update — we're actively working on this and will release it in the Official Repository as soon as it's ready
  2. Use the built-in Firefly T1 effects — the Repository already ships dozens of lighting effects covering most use cases, and new ones are added regularly: App Installation
