Description
ESPHome-WLED Device Manager is a powerful native iOS, iPad, and Apple Watch app for discovering and controlling your smart home devices on your local network.
Recommended ESPHome Component
For the best experience, add the webserver_listcomponents (https://github.com/domgrimm/esphome-webserver-listcomponents) external component to your ESPHome config. It enables fast, reliable entity discovery with full metadata support.
ESPHome Device Control
• Automatic network discovery via Bonjour/mDNS
• Full component support: switches, lights, fans, covers, sensors, climate, numbers, selects, buttons, text, time, and alarm control panels
• Native API with Noise encryption for secure, real-time communication
• Live log streaming and Server-Sent Events for instant state updates
• HTTP Basic authentication support
• Manual device addition for devices outside your local network
WLED Advanced Control
• Power, brightness, and full effect/palette management
• Segment management with blend modes and transition styles
• Live LED preview via WebSocket for 1D strips and 2D matrices
• Native gradient palette editor with WLED JSON codec
• PixelForge tools for WLED 0.16+: Pixel Paint, Image Tool, and Scrolling Text
• LittleFS file browser and custom palette management
Widgets
• Device Hub widget shows multiple ESPHome and WLED devices in an Apple Home-style layout
• Device Control widget displays individual components or WLED segments with interactive toggle
• Both widgets support small and medium sizes with AppIntent-driven configuration
iPad Optimized
• Two-column NavigationSplitView with sidebar device list
• Balanced split-view layout for efficient device browsing and control
• Adaptive interface that responds to size class changes
Apple Watch
• Full watchOS companion app with device discovery and control
• Digital Crown brightness control with haptic feedback for WLED
• Effect and palette wheel pickers with live color preview
• Manual device sync from your iPhone via App Groups
ESPHome-WLED Device Manager runs entirely on your local network — no cloud services, no accounts, and no tracking. Your devices stay under your control.
Requires ESPHome or WLED devices on your local network. Supports current ESPHome firmware with entity-name-based URL paths and API 1.14+ native handshake.

Build 885307136v2.5.02026-05-06 10:38:05
WLED PixelForge — paint on-device, image uploads, scrolling text.
• Native Pixel Paint — brush, lines, circles, squares, smear, optional rainbow strokes; live LED updates on the selected segment; preview shapes before you release; save a GIF to LittleFS and auto-apply the Image effect when your firmware supports it.
• Image Tool — choose a photo, scale to your strip or matrix, upload as GIF with the same auto-apply flow.
• Scrolling Text — edit segment text from the app and apply the Scrolling Text effect when available.
• LittleFS file editor — browse, edit, upload, and delete files on the controller (including palette JSON); open from Device Settings or when managing palettes.
Bug fixes and polish throughout.
Build 885225779v2.4.02026-05-05 00:57:17
WLED controls get a big usability upgrade - WLED v16.0 support!.
• Native custom palette editor: build gradients like WLED’s web palette tool: color picker, draggable stops, generate/distribute, preview on selected segments, and download the curated CPT-city palette library.
• Native device file editor: list, edit, upload, and delete files on the controller’s filesystem (including palette JSON). Open it from Device Settings or when managing palette files.
• Clearer device detail: Live View, Current Effect, Color Palette, and Segments are collapsible; effect and preset palette names sit in the headers as tappable links. PixelForge remains one tap away in Safari when you need the full web toolkit.
Bug fixes and polish throughout.
Build 885005976v2.3.02026-04-28 17:05:57
WLED Live View
• Turn on Live View on any WLED device to see a real-time preview of your strip or panel—right in the app, with your layout filling the on-screen area.
ESPHome
• Smoother ESPHome connections – The app now uses the current ESPHome device API, so you should see fewer warnings in device logs and better long-term compatibility.
• Up-to-date control URLs – Requests use each entity’s proper name in the path (as newer ESPHome versions expect), which matches current web/REST behavior and upcoming ESPHome changes.
