• Full control for HTTP-less ESPHome devices. Devices reachable only via the native API can now control fans, covers, climate, numbers, selects, buttons, locks, media players, alarm panels, and text fields — not just switches and lights. • Live state updates over the native API. Sensor and entity states now stream in real time even when a device has no web server. • ESPHome lock support. Lock/unlock/open controls for devices with lock components. • WLED Presets. Apply, save, rename, and delete presets; cycle through saved scenes right from the device screen. • WLED Playlists. Browse and apply saved playlists. • WLED UDP Sync. Toggle sync send/receive to make multiple WLED strips act together. • WLED Nightlight. Fade strips to a target brightness over a duration, straight from the app. • Reliability fixes for Control Center toggles and the widget component picker.

This update includes new features and bug fixes: • Lock screen & control centre widgets • Fixed real-time state updates for ESPHome devices • Fixed auth for all password-protected WLED devices • Cached WLED effects and palettes to dramatically improve performance

This release brings major improvements to iPad layout and introduces Home Screen widgets for quick device control. Widgets • New Device Hub widget — displays up to 8 ESPHome and WLED devices in an Apple Home-style grid with online/offline status and tap-to-toggle • New Device Control widget — shows specific components or WLED segments with interactive toggle via AppIntents • Both widgets support small and medium sizes • Configure widget content directly from the widget configuration sheet iPad Layout • Redesigned two-column split-view with a sidebar device list and detail pane • Collapsible device groups with shadow card styling in the sidebar • Content unavailable view when no device is selected • Adaptive layout that responds to regular and compact size classes • Improved selection state management across orientation changes Improvements & Fixes • Enhanced WLED segment management with extended state fetching and blend mode support • PixelForge tools for WLED 0.16+ devices • Better entity-name URL path encoding for current ESPHome firmware versions • Performance improvements for device discovery and state refresh

WLED PixelForge — paint on-device, image uploads, scrolling text. • Native Pixel Paint — brush, lines, circles, squares, smear, optional rainbow strokes; live LED updates on the selected segment; preview shapes before you release; save a GIF to LittleFS and auto-apply the Image effect when your firmware supports it. • Image Tool — choose a photo, scale to your strip or matrix, upload as GIF with the same auto-apply flow. • Scrolling Text — edit segment text from the app and apply the Scrolling Text effect when available. • LittleFS file editor — browse, edit, upload, and delete files on the controller (including palette JSON); open from Device Settings or when managing palettes. Bug fixes and polish throughout.

WLED controls get a big usability upgrade - WLED v16.0 support!. • Native custom palette editor: build gradients like WLED’s web palette tool: color picker, draggable stops, generate/distribute, preview on selected segments, and download the curated CPT-city palette library. • Native device file editor: list, edit, upload, and delete files on the controller’s filesystem (including palette JSON). Open it from Device Settings or when managing palette files. • Clearer device detail: Live View, Current Effect, Color Palette, and Segments are collapsible; effect and preset palette names sit in the headers as tappable links. PixelForge remains one tap away in Safari when you need the full web toolkit. Bug fixes and polish throughout.

WLED Live View • Turn on Live View on any WLED device to see a real-time preview of your strip or panel—right in the app, with your layout filling the on-screen area. ESPHome • Smoother ESPHome connections – The app now uses the current ESPHome device API, so you should see fewer warnings in device logs and better long-term compatibility. • Up-to-date control URLs – Requests use each entity’s proper name in the path (as newer ESPHome versions expect), which matches current web/REST behavior and upcoming ESPHome changes.
