Try using the newer esp32_rmt_led_strip platform instead.

Thanks, but it seems I have the same issue with this integration.

Am I doing something wrong.

green: 100% should = green, not while....?

Try using the newer esp32_rmt_led_strip platform instead.

Thanks, that worked.

But I still have another issue,

My led is setting brightness based on the sun,

when the sun is below horizon, then brightness is 20%
when sun is above horizon, then brightness is 100%

however, the issue I have is when ever I call a Effect such as Fast Pulse, it is just defaulting to 100% regardless.

Is there a better way to do this or is this possible to set the effect flash brightness based on the sun being above or below horizon?

Thanks
