WLED Max: LED Light Control

WLED Max is the most powerful native Android controller for WLED-powered smart LED lights. Discover your devices automatically, pick any color from a full RGB color wheel, browse 180+ lighting effects, and control everything over fast local Wi-Fi — no cloud, no account, no ads.

Whether you are building ambient lighting for your room, a reactive LED strip behind your desk, or a full outdoor holiday light display, WLED Max gives you complete control of your addressable LED lights from one beautiful app.

AUTOMATIC DEVICE DISCOVERY

Open the app and your WLED devices appear instantly. WLED Max uses mDNS to find every LED controller on your local network — no manual IP entry required. Organize devices into groups and switch between them with a single tap.

FULL COLOR CONTROL

Pick any color from the RGB color wheel, or tap a quick color preset for instant changes. Adjust white tone and color temperature for warm or cool white LEDs. Every change applies instantly over a live WebSocket connection, so your LED strip responds in real time.

Quick color presets included: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta, and White.

180+ LIGHTING EFFECTS

Browse the entire WLED effects library with search and category filters. Find exactly the effect you want — from rainbow chases and fire simulations to audio-reactive visualizations and holiday themes. Fine-tune every effect with dedicated speed and intensity sliders. Favorite the effects you use most for quick access.

PRESETS AND PALETTES

Save your favorite lighting configurations as presets and reload them instantly. Browse and apply color palettes to completely transform how effects look across your LED strip.

ADVANCED SEGMENT CONTROL

Control individual LED segments independently. Set different colors, effects, and brightness levels on different parts of your LED strip — all from one screen.

NIGHTLIGHT TIMER

Set a timer to gradually dim your lights or fade to a target brightness. Choose from multiple fade modes for the perfect wind-down lighting experience.

BUILT FOR SPEED AND RELIABILITY

WLED Max communicates over a live WebSocket connection with automatic reconnection. Changes to brightness, color, and effects are reflected instantly. A real-time sync indicator shows your connection status at all times. The dark theme is optimized for OLED displays to save battery and reduce eye strain.
