# WLED

> WLED is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 34.1k installs sharing analytics and works locally.

WLED is a built-in integration that controls WLED LED devices from Home Assistant over the local network. It adds a main light along with segment controls, number settings for effect speed and intensity, and selects for color palette, preset, playlist, and live override. Switches cover freeze, nightlight, reverse, and sync send and receive, while sensors report values such as estimated current, free memory, LED count, and Wi-Fi signal details. Buttons and update entities are also provided, and a firmware sensor is included. Home Assistant can discover devices on the network and offer to add them, and setup is done in the UI with the device host. An option keeps the main light control available when segments are added and removed through automation.
