led-controller
LED controller web app for managing profiles, zones, presets, and colour palettes, and sending commands to LED devices over ESP-NOW (binary wire format).
- Bridge ESP32: runs a WebSocket server; the Pi connects as client (
bridge_ws_urlinsettings.json, e.g.ws://192.168.4.1/ws). - LED drivers: announce on boot via ESP-NOW broadcast; the controller registers them and pushes group membership.
- Architecture (diagrams): docs/espnow-architecture.md
- Wire format (byte layouts): docs/espnow-binary-protocol.md (≤250 bytes per frame, no JSON on the wire)
Run
- One-time setup for port 80 without root:
sudo scripts/setup-port80.sh - Start app:
pipenv run run(override listen port with thePORTenvironment variable) - Dev watcher (auto-restart on
src/changes):pipenv run dev - Regenerate
docs/help.pdffromdocs/help.md:pipenv run help-pdf(requires pandoc and chromium on the host)
UI modes
- Run mode: focused control view. Select zones/presets and apply profiles. Editing actions are hidden.
- Edit mode: management view. Shows Zones, Presets, Patterns, Colour Palette, and Send Presets controls, plus per-tile preset edit/remove and drag-reorder.
Profiles
- Applying a profile updates session scope and refreshes the active zone content.
- In Run mode, Profiles supports apply-only behaviour (no create/clone/delete).
- In Edit mode, Profiles supports create/clone/delete.
- Creating a profile always creates a populated
defaultzone (starter presets). - Optional DJ zone seeding creates:
djzone bound to device namedj- starter DJ presets (rainbow, single colour, transition)
Preset colours and palette linking
- In preset editor, selecting a colour picker value auto-adds it when the picker closes.
- Use From Palette to add a palette-linked preset colour.
- Linked colours are stored as palette references and shown with a
Pbadge. - When profile palette colours change, linked preset colours update across that profile.

Driver pattern modules
Pattern .py sources live under led-driver/src/patterns. The Pi app resolves that path via util.driver_patterns.driver_patterns_dir(). If you deploy without that tree next to the app, set LED_CONTROLLER_PATTERNS_DIR to the directory that contains those files.
