Hey everyone 
If you’re stuck with a HyperCube (or any WLED-based device) that no longer works with the official WLED integration in HA 2024.8+, here’s something that might help:
The WLED Live View Proxy is a custom integration for Home Assistant that communicates with your WLED device using WebSocket + JSON API, not the standard HTTP polling method.
Since WLED 0.10.2, a WebSocket server is enabled by default — and many rebranded forks (like the HyperCube) still include it.
This means that if your firmware version is ≥ 0.10.2, the Live View Proxy can often still control the device and retrieve live color/effect state, even if the stock HA integration no longer works.
You can test if it works by calling this simple service:
service: wled_liveviewproxy.send_command
data:
targets:
entity_id: light.wlvp_your_hypercube
command:
v: true
If the firmware supports it, you’ll receive a full state response — including the active segment, brightness, effect ID, palette, and colors.
I’ve tested this successfully with WLED versions 0.14.4 and 0.15.0, and it may work with older HyperCube firmware if the WebSocket JSON API is still present.
No need to flash anything or downgrade HA — just install the custom integration via HACS.
