Within HomeKit, I’m trying to find a way to change the preset of my WLED lights. Ideally, I would like, in HomeKit, a drop down listing all available presets for that WLED light, like the one in Lovelace for select.wled_preset. However, when I include that entity in my HomeKit bridge, nothing imports into home. No buttons and no dropdown list.
So, I thought about trying to create a media remote, like what is used in HomeKit to select inputs for a tv, because the media remote does have a dropdown. When I couldn’t figure that out quickly, I decided to go, what I thought would be, the easier route: create a virtual toggle that changes to a particular preset.
So, I tried this, but it didn’t work:
- alias: WLED Test Preset
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: input_boolean.wled_test_preset
condition: []
action:
- service: select.select_option
data:
entity_id: select.wled_preset
option: Test
What am I doing wrong? Should I try a different method? I recently installed HA after using homebridge and SmartThings for nearly 5 years. So, I’m still trying to figure out HA. I sincerely appreciate any patience or guidance.
