Addressable lambda effect with variables

ESPHome
1

Hello all,

I need some help with addressable lambda effect. I found great lambda effect, which is working fine when you specify specific color in RGB format (see below). I would like to amend that lambda, so I can replace RGB value in bracets () with input_select: I have created in Home Assistant with RGB values (see below) and then loaded it onto ESPHome as text_sensor: with id: tag (see below). Unfortunately I get and error when I try to install in onto my d1mini (see below). Is it even possible to load variables to Lambda effect? Also, is it possible to replace update_interval: value with variable? When I try to replace it with (id(door_led_s_top_lock_speed), I get error, that this entry is not templateable.

input_select: code in HA:

door_led_s_top_lock_color:
  name: "Door LED's top lock color"
  options:
    - '255, 0, 0'   #red
    - '0, 0, 255'   #blue
    - '0, 255, 0'   #green
    - '255, 255, 0' #yellow
  icon: mdi:pallete

door_led_s_top_lock_speed:
  name: Door LED's top lock speed
  options:
    - '10ms'
    - '25ms'
    - '50ms'
    - '100ms'
    - '300ms'
    - '500ms'
  icon: mdi:star-shooting-outline

ESPHome code:

text_sensor:
  - platform: homeassistant
    name: Door led's top lock color
    id: door_led_s_top_lock_color
    entity_id: input_select.door_led_s_top_lock_color
  - platform: homeassistant
    name: Door led's top lock speed
    id: door_led_s_top_lock_speed
    entity_id: input_select.door_led_s_top_lock_speed


light:
  - platform: neopixelbus
    type: GRB
    variant: WS2812X
    pin: D7
    num_leds: 50
    name: "Door LED's"
    id: door_leds
    gamma_correct: 0
    default_transition_length: 0s
    effects:
    - !include common/led_effects/lambda.yaml

Lambda effect:

addressable_lambda:
  name: "lambda"
  update_interval: 10ms      // is it possible to replace THIS with `id:` tag? 
  lambda: |-
    static auto TAG = "Falling light";
    static uint16_t progress = 0;
//    static Color mRed = Color(255, 0, 0); // Original value
    static Color mRed = Color(id(door_led_s_top_lock_color)); // <-- how to replace THIS ??
    if (initial_run) {
      progress = 0;
      it.all() = Color::BLACK;
      ESP_LOGD(TAG, "initial run");
      ESP_LOGD(TAG, "it.size() =  %d", it.size());
    }
    else {
      if (progress < it.size()) {
        it[progress] = mRed;
        progress++;
        //ESP_LOGD(TAG, "increas progress : %d", progress);
      }
      else {
        }
    };

Not sure if this is still valid, but I believe you should be using id of the light not the sensor.

So from this you take the id:

light:
  - platform: neopixelbus
    type: GRB
    variant: WS2812X
    pin: D7
    num_leds: 50
    name: "Door LED's"
    **id: door_leds**
    gamma_correct: 0
    default_transition_length: 0s
    effects:
    - !include common/led_effects/lambda.yaml

and use it instead of the door_led_s_top_lock_color

Hope this helps if you’ve not yet figured this out.
