Cycle Beautiful Lighting. Effortlessly.

WLED Integration for Control4

WLED Theme Cycler brings powerful, intuitive control of WLED LED strips directly into your Control4 system. Recall your favorite lighting themes, browse effects and palettes, adjust brightness, and monitor the current lighting state — all from a familiar Control4 interface.

Whether you're installing decorative accent lighting, landscape lighting, holiday displays, media rooms, or architectural LED installations, WLED Theme Cycler provides a polished Control4 experience without relying on external services or cloud connectivity.

Use it as a powerful standalone WLED driver or pair it with Calendar Wizard to automatically synchronize lighting throughout the year.

Why You'll Love WLED Theme Cycler

WLED Theme Cycler is designed specifically for Control4 — a polished, native experience that takes full advantage of WLED's flexibility without leaving the Control4 ecosystem.

Favorite themes are always at hand: Navigator, keypads, Experience Buttons, schedules, and programming all work seamlessly with WLED presets — no switching apps required.

Key Features

Favorite Theme Management

Save up to 10 favorite WLED themes for quick access.

Quickly:

• Recall favorite themes
• Cycle forward or backward
• Optionally include OFF in the cycle or make the next cycle press turn the lights off after inactivity
• Jump directly to any saved favorite
• Remember the last active theme automatically

Perfect for seasonal lighting, entertaining, and everyday use.

Real-Time Device Synchronization

WLED Theme Cycler continuously keeps Control4 synchronized with your WLED controller.

Monitor:

• Power status
• Brightness
• Active lighting theme
• Current color

Live WebSocket feedback reports changes made in WLED or other automation systems. HTTP polling every five seconds provides fallback while live feedback reconnects.

Native Control4 Experience

Enjoy a familiar Control4 interface including:

• On / Off
• Brightness
• Color selection
• White-temperature control on compatible WLED hardware
• On/Previous brightness and color settings, plus On/Dim Color Fade
• Independent brightness/color transition rates and click/hold dimming
• Theme selection
• Effects
• Palettes
• Favorite themes

Use Navigator for everyday lighting and Extras controls. Configure power-on behavior, native lighting settings and keypad integration in Composer Pro.

Choose how the lights turn on: First Scene, Last Scene, Default Scene, or Control4 Lighting. Scene choices recall WLED presets; Control4 Lighting uses native brightness and color settings.

Dimming preserves a preset's layout and effects. Selecting an explicit color or temperature changes the strip to uniform lighting, including any skipped LEDs. Saved WLED presets remain unchanged.

Colors selected while OFF are remembered for the next ordinary ON. White-temperature limits are configurable to match the installed strip; temperature controls require WLED-advertised CCT support.

Effects, Playlists and Segments

Browse named effects and palettes, adjust effect-specific sliders and options, and choose effect defaults or preserve current settings.

Start saved WLED playlists from Extras or Composer programming. Choose None in Extras to stop a playlist while retaining its current appearance. Playlist variables, events and conditionals support automation.

Target all active segments or choose one named segment for effects, palettes and effect controls. Individual segment power and brightness leave master power and brightness unchanged. Main light color controls affect the whole strip; there is no individual segment color picker. Preset and playlist recalls apply their complete saved layouts.

Built for Automation

Integrates naturally with:

• Composer Programming
• Button Links
• Experience Buttons
• Scheduled Events
• Voice Control
