Effects support

[sergoo-lbt]

Is it possible to add support for WLED effects? Let's say in the form of changing the HDMI outputs of the TV?

[jstrausd]

Yeah more effects are added soon. The plugin is currently only in "Beta", so it isn't completed and bug free yet.

Which app do you currently use to change the effects (On your screenshot)

If there are effects, this plugin will have no equal! Screenshot from this article https://sprut.ai/client/article/2760

Oh ok, this is already a HomeKit Plugin. So what do you want the plugin to do that it should be able to do?

What is in the video from the link I gave is achieved using NodeRed. I would like the homebridge plugin to also be able to change effects. Is it possible?

Yes i can work on this. But it will take some time. Before adding new effects, i have to fix some other bugs.

This is great news! I'm looking forward to it! I wish you success!

thanks for your work on this - wled has been missing from homebridge - the current effect implementation is cool, with individual switches - that way we can integrate it with security system or motion sensors.

[djashjones]

How about this for an idea instead of having a full list of all available effects, a comma separated list of your favourite effects?

[recom273]

Any chance of multiple switches for multiple effects - great update btw

[jstrausd]

I still have to see how and if this is possible at Homebridge. But I'll take a closer look at it this week. Btw. thanks for your donation: D

I published a new version... Now you can configure a own list with effects and use it like on the screenshot above.

!! INFO !! The Plugin is now a Platform-Plugin and has to be moved to the "platforms"-section in the config.json. (See the examples)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask....

[recom273]

Forget it - I had a brain fart - The setup code is the homebridge code, I forget this every time.

You're just super cool! Your work is done perfectly! Be happy!

[djashjones]

Better than Home Assistant's version

Any particular reason you have the effects statically defined in getAllEffects()? Perhaps just grab them from the /json/effects endpoint...? I run the WLED audio reactive fork, and they have their own added effects.

[jstrausd]

@RomanGz Oh no... It was just provisional. (because i didn't wanted to request the effects everytime.. at the beginning) But i will add the "feature" to grab them from the JSON-API and cache them, to not use unnecessary bandwidth.

[jstrausd]

Ok I tried to fetch the effects dynamically, but it is very difficult due the fact I can only fetch it asynchronously... So I have to find a perfect solution for this, but for now the static defined effects will do it...

[jstrausd]

Also I changed the config.json layout with the new version 1.1.1 Now you can add multiple WLED instances with the new dynamically platform plugin.

Haha. I tried myself after I asked and had the same problem with async. Wasted a whole day on it. Tried with axios & request. I may revisit it soon. Thanks for trying.

I am very interested, is it possible to add several separate tapes with one accessory?😅🙏🏻

[jstrausd]

@sergoo-lbt So you mean you can control multiple WLED-Strips with one HomeKit accessory?

I ask, is it possible? I currently manage three wleds with a single homekit accessory using native wled synchronization. But this does not work very reliably. I would like to be able to group them into one honekit accessory, but this is not possible since they contain a piece of the TV))

[jstrausd]

Ok, yes i could add an option, to configure the host/s as a list and then you can simple control your devices with one HomeKit accessory.

This is incredible! I will look forward to it!🙏🏻🔥

[jstrausd]

@sergoo-lbt In the new version (1.2.1) I added the option to control multiple WLED-hosts with one accessory. For further infos check the README.md

I updated the plugin. You've done an incredible job! Right now, one accessory controls my three wleds, but there is a small problem with the accessory status. When I turn off the backlight with the brightness slider, after a few seconds, the accessory in homekit turns on again, while the LEDs themselves remain off!
