Controlling the Leds for each side. #16

Closed TeDeVPrime closed 3 weeks ago

TeDeVPrime commented 3 weeks ago

Hello again,

I saw that there is no option of controlling the leds for each side. Yes i can have the lights top and bottom for when the relays are active but i want to control the left and right side as two different lights with different led effects.

this is how i will be able to have a visible notification for when my alarm is set. i will set the right side as Red Pulse Slow with 20% brightness

Left and right lights are published, but are disabled by default. Could you please double check the "entities not shown"?

TeDeVPrime commented 3 weeks ago

yes you are right. i didn't see them. they look great! thank you for fixing that. it works very well

one issue that i have discovered is that if i choose red pulse slow 100% it plays just fine... but if i choose 20% it will change for 1 second and then the effect will go back to 100% (even though home assistant says it is at 20%)

This is the default behavior of pulse effect in ESPHome: https://esphome.io/components/light/index.html#pulse-effect It's probably possible to change this at runtime, but it will be a bit complex. Better would be creating a feature request on ESPHome to limit the max brightness on pulse to the light brightness.
