Chameleon Lighting vs WLED Max

Bring your home to life with Chameleon Lighting, the control center for your professional-grade addressable LED lights. No coding, no confusing setup, no light-by-light programming — just beautiful light, customized for you. ONE-TAP SHOWS, ALREADY DESIGNED A library of professionally designed playlists, ready to run. Holidays: Christmas, Halloween, Fourth of July, Easter and more, as complete multi-effect shows. Moods and animations: rainbows, ocean waves, firelight, aurora, and simple, elegant accent lighting. Dozens of effects — Fireworks, Twinkle Fade, Bouncing Balls, Meteor, Chase — each matched to a curated color palette. Browse the entire library before you ever create an account. SCHEDULING THAT RUNS ITSELF Add an event and it schedules itself. There is nothing else to set up. Holidays arrive on the right days every year, including the ones that move. Your team's colors run on game nights, following the real schedule. Sunrise and sunset are worked out for you, wherever you live. Choose your on and off times once and every event follows them — or give any single event its own. FAVORITES AND LIVE CONTROL Favorites on the Home screen: one tap puts a look on your lights right now, and turns them on if they were off. Now Playing shows what is running and what is coming up next, with brightness and speed you can move while it plays. Zones: split one controller across the roofline, the porch and the walkway, and send different content to each. Turn everything on or off from the main screen. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Studio: build your own playlists, patterns and color palettes — or start from anything in the library and change it. Quick Color: pick a color and it is on your lights immediately. See exactly how a pattern will lay out across your strip before it gets there. WORKS ON YOUR WI-FI, WITH OR WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Your controller runs on your own network. Find it, drive it, set its schedules and save its settings straight from the app — no account, no internet connection. When your internet is out, your lights carry on. Everything local stays free, always. BUILT FOR THE WHOLE HOUSE A free Chameleon account keeps your devices, schedules and creations in sync across every phone in the home. Set something up on one, and it is there on all of them. Your lights keep to their schedule whether the app is open or not.

WLED Max controls WLED lights from your iPhone and iPad: LED strips, holiday lights on the roofline and 2D pixel matrices. It needs a WLED controller (an ESP32 or ESP8266 running WLED) and does not work with Bluetooth or IR remote light strips. New in 1.1.4: Pattern Maker. Build bulb patterns like 2 red, 1 white or start from Classic Christmas, Candy Cane or Diwali Diyas, add motion and watch it on your lights as you go. Every feature is free for one light. A one-time purchase adds unlimited lights. No account, no ads, no subscription. EASY SETUP Open the app and your WLED devices appear automatically. Just tap to add them. Got a brand new device still in setup mode? A step-by-step wizard walks you through connecting it to your Wi-Fi. No computer required. You can also add devices by IP address if they're on a different network. FULL CONTROL AT YOUR FINGERTIPS Adjust brightness with a slider or tap 25/50/75/100% quick-set buttons.
