Yeah, you can definitely control Wi-Fi LED strips remotely using a Python script, as long as they’re smart LEDs with network control features. Since there’s already an app for controlling them, they likely connect via Wi-Fi and have some sort of API or use protocols like MQTT, HTTP, or something similar.

If you’re looking for a library to make this easier, you could use something like python-kasa (for TP-Link smart devices), pywemo (for Belkin WeMo devices), or even phue (for Philips Hue). These libraries can interact with the devices directly. For more generic setups, requests can be handy if the LED strip has an HTTP API.

You might have to dig into the documentation or reverse-engineer the API a bit if it's not public. Some people use packet sniffing to figure out how the app talks to the LEDs, but it depends on your comfort level with that!
