ESPHome vs LumenLED

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.

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a powerful pixel-mapped LED controller. LumenLED sends Art-Net, sACN, and WLED data over your local network to drive LED installations with stunning generative effects, audio-reactive patterns, and image mapping. PIXEL GRID PATCHING Define grids up to 100×100 pixels with 8 patch directions including zigzag and snake patterns. Configure start channel, universe, and pixel order (RGB, GRB, BGR, RGBW). Visual editor shows channel assignments and patch order. Test mode lets you step through pixels one by one or run an auto-chase. 12 GENERATIVE EFFECTS Rainbow, Plasma, Fire, Sparkle, Wave, Gradient, Chase, Breathe, Strobe, plus three audio-reactive modes. Each effect supports 5 spatial directions: Forward, Reverse, Center Out, Edges In, and Diagonal. Adjust speed, intensity, and dual colors in real time. AUDIO REACTIVITY Three audio-reactive effects respond to music through your microphone: Audio Wave modulates a sine wave by loudness, Audio Bass drives intensity from low frequencies with beat flash, and Audio Spectrum maps frequency bands across your pixel grid. Real-time FFT analysis with bass, mid, and treble meters. IMAGE MAPPING Pick any photo and map it onto your pixel grid. Grid Map samples colors at each pixel position. Dominant Color and Palette modes extract and spread colors across your installation. LIVE PREVIEW See exactly what your LEDs are doing with a real-time 30fps on-screen preview that reads directly from the DMX buffer. PROTOCOL SUPPORT • Art-Net v4 with multi-universe and auto-detect broadcast • sACN/E1.31 with configurable universe, priority, and unicast • WLED via DDP, UDP, and Art-Net All protocols run simultaneously. Auto-detects your WiFi subnet — no manual IP configuration needed. LUMENLED PRO Free version includes all effects and protocols with grids up to 5×5 pixels. Upgrade to Pro for grids up to 100×100 and multi-universe output. Built 100% native with SwiftUI. No third-party SDKs. No tracking. No ads.   What's New in This Version • NEW: LumenLED Pro subscription with unlimited grid sizes up to 100×100 • All 12 generative effects and audio-reactive modes included free • Art-Net, sACN, and WLED protocol support • Pixel grid patching with 8 directions • Live 30fps on-screen preview • Image-to-grid color mapping Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
