XeWe LED OS is modular firmware for addressable LED strips on ESP32 boards. It provides reusable control, connectivity, and persistence features so LED projects do not need custom glue code for WiFi, voice assistants, storage, and buttons. The project is an operating system for LED strip applications built on ESP32-C3, ESP32-C6, and ESP32-S3. It centers on a serial CLI and layers additional interfaces on top of it, including a local web UI, Apple HomeKit, Alexa, physical buttons, and persistent settings stored in NVS.
