Feature Request: fading on color change in Static mode #403

Open sladaar opened 5 years ago

sladaar commented 5 years ago

First of all, many many thanks Tobias for this, i searched a lot for a valid code and i've been using yours for a year by now. So thanks again!

I was wondering if it's possibile to edit/add a fading between colors in static mode, because i doubt a little it could be hardware related. I'm no programmer but feel free to point me where to edit the code, I'll try my best.

I use mqtt to control the board, via openHab. (pin 12, 300 led ws2811)

Many thanks in advice!

You can use "rainbow" effect and slow the speed to your liking? Or are you referring to fading when you select a new color? All animations are dependent on WS2812FX, and I would ask you to refer to https://github.com/kitesurfer1404/WS2812FX/issues/124 to get some idea if latter is your intention.

Thanks for the reply! Yes i was referring to the static mode, so it would be great to see a fading between the old color and the new selected one ( i mean, like commercial products). Many thanks for the link, i'll check it!

To be honest, i thought at this feature because the fastest way i found to control the nodemcu+mclighting with Google Assistant was by "cloning" (in openHab) the commands received by a Yeelight lamp, and in testing phase i spotted the difference (the yeelight fades, mclighting not).

I'll post my result, if positive!

+1 for this feature, and in addition, support for the "transition" feature from Home Assistant, which lets you set how many seconds the transition should take. Currently, if you define a transition time from HA, the lights don't react at all.
